Family, Kids & Honeymoons

Q: What is the minimum age for a safari?

It varies by lodge, not by law. Plenty of family camps welcome all ages and run children's programmes; others set a minimum of six, eight or twelve on shared game drives for everyone's safety and enjoyment. A private vehicle often opens up a lodge for a younger child. Tell us the ages and we match you to camps that genuinely want your family, not ones that merely tolerate it.

Q: Is a safari suitable for young children?

It can be excellent, with the right choices. A malaria-free Big Five reserve removes the tablet worry, a family lodge keeps meal times and activities geared to children, and a private vehicle lets you set the pace and head back when little legs tire. Short drives, a pool at midday and a kids' programme turn a safari into the trip they talk about for years.

Q: How do you plan a honeymoon safari?

We build it as two halves that play off each other: a few nights in the bush for the drama and the early mornings, then somewhere to slow right down — the Cape Winelands, an Indian Ocean island or a beach finish. Private dinners, a room with a view worth lingering in, and no rushing. Many lodges add honeymoon touches when we tell them you are celebrating.

Minimum ages, malaria-free family reserves, and how we plan a honeymoon that is more than a game drive.
