Going on a family safari will be one of the most fulfilling and energizing excursions you will ever enjoy, once the nightmare of the COVID-19 pandemic is something of the past. Understandably, doing a African family safari will not amount to a budget safari in the real, sense of the word, when a family takes their children with them on safari, but at least our ground operators are more than willing to negotiate discounted rates for children aged 12 years and younger.

Given the above, deciding on a destination in which to do a family safari is all the more important!

Let’s look at Africa's most family-friendly safari destinations in Africa… destinations explicitly to youngsters.

Deciding on a safari destination. 

ALL THE DESTINATIONS AND LOCATIONS WHERE WE DO SAFARIS ARE SAFE AND POLITICALLY STABLE!

Allow us to make suggestions as to the most family-friendly destinations! Cost is always a factor, but we are in a position to provide you with comparable itineraries of a particular safari, comparing different countries in Africa.

South Africa

With its first world framework and excellent national parks, South Africa is an obvious choice for a family safari. The factors to consider is the quality of accommodation – Obviously, a 5-star safari lodge will be much more expensive than a 3-star lodge, and always bear in mind that some lodges will only accommodate children aged 12 and older. Please refer to our website www.photo-safaris.com and see the section listed as Family Safaris

Namibia

Namibia is a completely different safari destination, compared to South Africa. With the Namibian dollar linked to the South African rand, this can be considered a great advantage, but bear in mind that the most popular tourist areas are far apart – Namibia is a very large country!! The most economical safaris in Namibia is to do a self-drive safari. This is not a problem – there are no masses – Namibia is about the size of Texas, with a population of just over one million people!

Namibia's most popular national park, Etosha, is an exceptional destination, with a very large selection of African wildlife species, not to forget that you are just about assured to see Rhinos as well

Activities popular with kids range from dune surfing in the Namib Desert to visiting conventional Himba villages in Damaraland. Another highlight is visiting Sossusvlei – with the highest sand dunes in the world!

Botswana for Families 

Botswana is another fantastic choice for a family safari. Not always cheap, but numerous camps have activities especially for young children
