Africa is the ultimate holiday destination for a family vacation and children are becoming more welcomed at hotels and lodges throughout Africa than in the past.
The Safari provides an opportunity to see in real life, wild animals, different cultures, sights and sounds that are mostly accessible to children either on the big screen or in the classroom.
The safari industry is increasingly recognizing the demand for ‘child friendly’ lodges and many camps and lodges now cater specifically for families with young children.
These lodges will provide interconnecting tents/rooms, children’s activity clubs to keep them stimulated plus child minder/babysitting services for hire. For a families travelling with children below a particular age, the lodges offer the option of hiring a private guide with vehicle for their family safari adventure.
The numerous choices of countries to visit in Africa also offer families other adventures, from beach holidays, guided or self-drive safaris, cruises, surfing, hiking and cultural interactions.
