A wide range of activities are available at dedicated times throughout the day. The Children's Coordinator will meet parents and children on arrival, to explain what activities are available, and schedule children's activities during guests' stay. Together with parents, a programme is tailored to suit weather, children's ages and availability of specialist staff for specific activities, which can include:
Kids Camp Safari – Get to know all the special secret places in the Camp. Your Ranger will show you where the frogs, special insects and cool plants hang out. You'll also learn to spot animal tracks.
Picnic in the bush – Head out with your Ranger for a kids-only picnic in the bush. Enjoy your kids safari treats, check out the beautiful plants, birds and insects, and see if you can be the first one to spot an animal.
Safari Cooks – Join the team of Chefs and Cooks to make your own safari pizza, safari bread and safari cookies. Bring your artistic talents and hungry tummies to this afternoon activity.
Safari Art - Make your own bush craft art, including beaded bracelets, cards and hanging mobiles. Learn how to make your own safari play dough, and make your own African animal shapes.
Treasure Hunt – Follow a map to find the secret treasure. Learn how to use a compass, the sun and the natural environment, to find your way. Look out for Pirates!
Face Painting - Have your face painted to look like your favourite animal.
Stargazing Safari – Watch the weather forecast for the best night for stargazing with your Ranger. Get snuggled up under a blanket with your hot chocolate and learn to spot all the different constellations in the African sky.
