About this experience
What to expect.
The lodges our safari specialists pick for families travelling together. Family suites, interleading rooms and exclusive-use villas, with the space for several generations under one roof.
Where our specialists send families
Our specialists put family trips together every week, so they know which lodges genuinely work when several generations travel together. These are the ones with the accommodation for it: family suites, interleading rooms, whole villas where grandparents, parents and children share the same space. They know where the guiding flexes to mixed ages, and where a big group has the room to spread out.
Travelling with little ones specifically? Our Child-friendly safaris list is where the focus turns to kids' clubs, babysitting and activities pitched at younger children. The full child policy for each lodge sits on its own page. For more on travelling as a family, see our Safari child policies guide.
