The Family Safari - 13 - 16 days
|
|
|
|
The ultimate educational, ecological, cultural and fun
experience! This is a wonderful opportunity for the whole
family from grandparents to children to be able to
interact with the culture, children and wildlife of
Africa. More importantly, to interact with each other in a
superbly unique environment, while enjoying the
traditional fun and adventure of a Safari. All hotel and
lodge features are very children-friendly, and the
arrangements for most days allow children to be taken care
of by trained personnel and naturalists, while the adults
can do other things if they wish.
