It’s all in the family

Yes, why not! In Kenya and Uganda, your kids can see how the animals from their picture books come alive. Our guides love children and have fun telling them gripping stories about nature, the Big Five and lion cubs, just as in the Lion King.

And we make sure, when we create your trip, that we organize it also for your kids AND for you to enjoy it fully. Depending on your situation, it means : shorter safari days and more time to enjoy the pool, children seats in the car, with extra snacks and wi-fi, and we adapt the activities planned as some of them, like the chimp and gorilla trekkings, have age limits.

Also, we carefully select accommodations with special facilities for your little ones, like pools, activities or even nannies. 

If you plan a family holiday in Tanzania with kids, best check with your doctor or health office regarding recommended vaccinations and medication. It’s also advisable to take out additional Flying Doctors insurance. If something happens (knock on wood it won’t), a helicopter can transport you to the nearest hospital straight away.

Yes, babies are welcome ! With us, you travel in your own, private 4×4 Landcruiser which allows you to be flexible and have some privacy. Your little one can rest in his baby seat (ask your travel consultant to book one for you!) while you are enjoying the views. Our safari jeeps are often also equipped with a fridge for milk etc. and if you let us know special dietary wishes of your little ones beforehand, we can accommodate them as well. Also, let us know if you need a baby bed in the lodges.. we’ll arrange that for you. 

In general, lodges love children but not all lodges offer the same services for the small ones. Some only have a few services. In some lodges, you might find supervised playgrounds, animation teams or nanny services, while others just offer a swimming pool and a kids menu. Some of these services are complimentary, for others you have to pay extra. Your consultant is happy to inform you about the options and help you to make the best choice !

Of course, you can rent a car seat simply by contacting your travel consultant. We want to make sure that you can travel comfortably with your kids, with baby or booster seats that can be rented for the safari cars. Please make sure to reserve your baby seat before your arrival, for your kids safety and comfort during the safari (price on request).
