Family policies
Travelling with children.
What our safari specialists know about bringing children to MalaMala Sable Camp, current as of May 2026. They plan family trips here all the time, so anything below that needs arranging, they will sort. For the bigger picture, see our guide to safari with children .
- Minimum ages
- Stay 12+ · Game drives 12+ · Walking safari 12+
- Child rates
- Children under 12 sharing with full-paying adults pay approx. 60% of the sharing adult rate. Proof of age required at check-in.
- Family rooms
- Family unit available.
- Care
- No dedicated kids' programme
- Exceptions
-
Sable Camp does not accept children under 12 in standard bookings — the only way to bring younger children is to reserve the entire camp on an exclusive-use basis. The Lion's Den Suite is a 2-bedroomed interleading suite suited to families when exclusive use applies, and family rooms accommodating a third adult or two children are available on request. Note: the private-vehicle workaround for under-6s on drives applies at sister property MalaMala Camp, NOT at Sable Camp — at Sable, exclusive use is the only route for under-12s. Child rates only apply when sharing with full-paying adults.
