A luxury family safari is about so much more than game drives and spotting animals (although that’s pretty high up on the list!). With a bespoke African Safari designed for your family’s unique needs, you can enjoy a care-free family safari that ticks all the boxes for safety, adventure and cultural exploration.
We’ve explored Africa’s vast landscapes with our own kids for decades and understand how critical safe, and fuss-free experiences are for families. Not only do we know the best-kept secrets and family-friendly safari destinations, but we also understand how tricky it can be to plan a multigenerational trip when parents just want some time off in the wilderness and children have widely varying interests.
Your eldest wants a hot air balloon trip over the savannah, while your younger child is interested in the crafts of the local community. Can you combine both these interests in one trip? If so, where do you start? That’s where Tanda Afrika’s expertise can take the hassle off your hands so that you can simply enjoy the best family safari in Africa.
Here are five ways Tanda Africa crafts your family-friendly safari:
Ease of Travel
Travelling with kids is an adventure in more than one sense. Long, bumpy roads and lengthy waiting times for transfers in an unfamiliar airport lounge with young children and teenagers in tow can quickly turn excitement into exhaustion. We’ll ensure that every detail of your family safari is as smooth as possible, from easy transfers between camps and child-friendly pit stops along the way. Our expertise in organizing seamless safaris is more than a luxury – it turns a potentially tiring trip into an unforgettable, stress-free adventure where every member of the family can enjoy the magic of the wild.
Family-friendly Safari
The prospect of a family safari might fill you evenly with excitement and a sense of caution – how can you explore the African wilderness and keep everyone safe? Especially if you’re travelling with young kids, we understand that safety is your top priority. Choosing a destination like a malaria-free safari in South Africa means no need for the stress of malaria medication, just the awe-inspiring beauty of the wild. Our seasoned field guides will ensure the children stay safe while spotting elephants and lions from a secure distance, while fenced and child-friendly accommodation will allow your family to relax after each day’s adventure. A safe safari is about peace of mind, making it a magical experience for everyone.
Adventure For All
A luxury family safari is an opportunity to inspire and engage your family beyond the thrill of seeing a leopard in the wild. When crafting your bespoke African safari, we’ll include a variety of activities designed for curious minds. During a guided bush walk, children can learn to track animal prints in the sand, visiting a local village will provide cultural interactions, and soaring over the savannah at sunrise in a hot air balloon will be a highlight for the whole family. We design your bespoke safari to include a variety of activities to suit your family’s interests and to create a safari that is a transformative experience – one where adventure meets learning, creating lasting memories that go beyond the game drives.
Luxury Safari Family Accommodation
If you’re dreaming of a family safari that blends adventure with comfort, we know all of Africa’s best-kept secrets. This could mean a private villa with a pool overlooking the savannah, where giraffes can be spotted in the distance. Exclusive-use options mean there are no other guests, just your family and a dedicated staff. Flexible meal times, tailored game drives with knowledgeable field guides, and complete privacy. After thrilling days of safari adventures, you can return to meals prepared according to your preferences and cozy fire-lit evenings. Luxury accommodation and exclusive-use options turn a family safari into a stress-free, personalized retreat, combining the thrill of the wild with all the comforts of home.
A Bespoke Safari Adventure
When you take your kids on safari, a one-size-fits-all trip simply won’t do. At Tanda Afrika, we take care of every detail of your itinerary and tailor it to your family’s unique needs, finding the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. Short, engaging morning game drives filled with wildlife for young children, or more thrilling experiences like horseback safaris and nighttime stargazing for teens. We craft a bespoke African safari to give the entire family an authentic, enriching vacation – a custom-made adventure that ensures every family member has the experience of a lifetime.
