Why is a Multi-Generational Family Safari So Special?

In the wilds of Africa, you can all come together as one, free from the pesky distractions of modern living. It's utopia, where heartfelt conversations, rollicking laughter, and unforgettable memories are the norm.

We're talking about multiple living areas, private swimming pools, and outdoor chill spaces that'll have you feeling like you're living your best life.

Activities for the Whole Family
You and the family can look forward to many safari activities. Take your pick of the ones that tickle your fancy, and skip those not really up your alley.
Game Drives
Morning and afternoon game drives are a no-brainer at most lodges and luxury camps. But why settle for the ordinary when you can have your own private game drive vehicle? That's right, you and your family can cruise through the African bush at your own pace while your expert guide customises the experience to match your interests and preferences. Talk about personalised service!

Alternative Safari Activities
But wait, there's more! If you or a family member feel like switching things up, there are plenty of other exciting activities to choose from. How about a bush walk or a bird-watching expedition? Or maybe you're in the mood for an epic hot-air balloon ride? And let's not forget about the water-based safari adventures.
If you're exploring Botswana's Chobe River and Okavango Delta, or Zimbabwe and Zambia's Zambezi River, you can enjoy a whole host of aquatic activities like river cruises, catch and release fishing, and even mokoro rides. The sky's the limit!
