Children Policy

Children's Programme

Children of all ages are welcome at Jaci’s Safari Lodge and are especially catered for.

Children aged 8 years and older are allowed on the regular game drives with the adults, but children aged 7 years and younger do not go out on the regular game drives but instead are specially accommodated on their own ‘jungle drive’ during the day. This drive goes out once a day after the parent’s morning drive and is included in the rate for children. The ‘jungle drive’ lasts between 30 minutes and 90 minutes, and the information on the drive is aimed at the ages of the children on the drive. Parents are of course welcome to join - but must behave like children!

In addition, the lodge also has a Children’s Specialized Safari that goes out twice a day at the same time as the regular game drive. The children go out with specifically trained guides and are introduced to different aspects of the bush. These safaris are at an additional cost per drive (rates on request) and are for children 3 years and older. Please note these drives and subject to availability and are completely different from the ‘jungle drives’!

All children 10 years and younger have dinner as soon as all the children on specialized safaris and / or children on the regular game drives are back at the lodge. This is because dinner is served late and children are tired and hungry before the main dinner is served. If this is a problem please advise and the lodge will set a table separately for the family. Parents eat later but are welcome to sit with their children whilst the children eat if the parents are back from game drive when the children’s dinner is served. Please advise your consultant at Travel Butlers of children’s preferred meals so that the chef can be prepared.

Childminders are provided as part of the lodge's service during game drive time and dinner time.
