What is the minimum age for a safari?

Most lodges and parks welcome children of any age, though some camps set a minimum age (often 5-8) for safety reasons. We will match you to family-friendly properties.

Are game drives too long for young children?

We shorten drives and add more breaks for younger children, and avoid overly long itinerary days.

Which destinations work best for families?

Ol Pejeta and the Maasai Mara in Kenya, Tarangire in Tanzania, and Lake Mburo in Uganda are particularly easy, low-risk choices for younger children.
