There are many ways to enhance a family safari experience. One thing which we suggest is to book a private vehicle, as this offers absolute flexibility. As a parent, the peace of mind that this provides is immense – you are free to set the pace, without the pressure of having to consider other guests on the same vehicle. A private guide is also very important, simply because he or she will be able to offer your family (in particular, the younger ones) their undivided attention. This is vital from a safety point of view, especially when viewing the more high profile species.
Your private guide will tailor-make your program to suit the entire family, as they are aware of the possibilities at each camp. This personalised approach is paramount in keeping younger travellers entertained – games, like who spots the first animal, tasting edible wild fruit, catching insects to have a look through a magnifying glass, making Plaster of Paris casts of tracks in the mud, and identifying spoor are just some of the ways to keep kids entertained for hours while absorbing incredible amounts of information about the natural environment.
