With new experiences at every turn a family safari in Africa provides great opportunities for families to bond, communicate, and interact with each other, whilst learning much about themselves and the world around them.

Many safari camps and lodges have a minimum guest age of 12 however we have put together several great itineraries where children age 6 through 11 are welcome at reduced rates. If you wish to travel with children under the age of 6 please call our Seattle office toll free 1 800 461 0682 to discuss the options.

Our favorite family safari destination is Botswana. It stands out as a prosperous, peaceful and stable democratic country in Africa - a perfect destination for families who wish to experience the wilds of Africa without the concerns associated with travel to many 3rd world countries (safety, uncomfortable climate, language barriers...).

Pricing is from low season to high season. Contact our office for details.

IMPORTANT: Most of the safari lodges and camps we recommend are small, exclusive and dearly sought after. To ensure availability we suggest planning and booking your travel arrangements at least 12 months in advance.
