Safari Lodges Offering a Dedicated Children's Programme
Getting the most out of a safari for younger kids
Whilst many safari lodges welcome younger children, the lodges listed here all go the extra mile to ensure that even the youngest guest can get as much as possible out of their safari.
The safari drives enjoyed by adults are often not suitable for younger children as they may get close to potentially danergous animals such as lions and elephants or be rather longer than the average 6 year old's attention span!
The dedicated programmes offered by these lodges often include special game drives as well as play and learning activities which will keep the kids amused whilst their parents are out on the main game drives.
