Experiences & Highlights

Family safaris balance adventure with comfort, private space and flexible pacing. In South Africa, Lion Sands River Lodge and Narina Lodge offer interleading suites, private vehicles on request and thoughtful junior activities that turn tracking and birding into engaging lessons. Nearby, Monwana Game Lodge and the Monwana Residence create easy bases for multi-generational travel with roomy living areas and dedicated hosts. Phinda Mountain Lodge and Phinda Forest Lodge bring varied habitats and gentle drives that suit younger travellers, while Marataba Safari Lodge adds boat outings and wide-open views under Waterberg cliffs.

In Zambia, Chinzombo and Chongwe House set an easy rhythm on the river with short boat cruises and relaxed afternoon drives. Tanzania offers wide choices too with The Highlands for crater day trips and Oliver’s Camp for simple bush skills between sightings. Throughout, guides manage drive lengths, plan snack stops and keep a flexible schedule so parents can rest while children explore safely. Evenings bring family dinners on decks, stargazing, and stories that make the bush feel like home.
