5 reasons to choose an African safari for your multigenerational holiday

 
Are you celebrating a big birthday, a retirement or special anniversary? Maybe you have a plan to take your whole family, children and grandchildren on a trip that will delight and inspire them. Any reason will do!
A superb safari has all the ingredients for a trip of a lifetime for each generation. There is amazing accommodation, beauty and adventures to share. Expert guides will take you to see elephant and big cats in their natural habitat. Your grandchildren will encounter wildlife, places and cultures for real that they have seen on Discovery channels.

We’ve been arranging the finest family safaris for 32 years and know the best guides and extraordinary lodges in the secret wild places of Africa.

Every family is unique, so we will create your multigeneration safari from a blank canvas. We start with your interests, listen to your dreams and work with you to fill the canvas with a trip that children and adults will eagerly look forward to. And one that they will remember and treasure in their hearts forever.

The wild beauty of Africa has inspired the design of truly amazing accommodation. An exquisite lodge raised on stilts above the pristine Okavango Delta. A luxurious family villa atop an ancient ridge with views of the wild savannahs. An extraordinary tented camp where you can watch the Zambezi roll by from the comfort of a Victorian bath.

We select the finest accommodation, often on private reserves. These exclusive lodges take between eight and twenty people at one time so your family may take the entire place.

4. Your Trip Will Help Conservation

 
When we send your itinerary we will explain how each safari lodge is helping to protect and conserve its environment. Many work closely with neighbouring tribal groups to protect against poachers and encourage local people to see wild animals as a resource, not a threat.

Some safari lodges have worked for decades to save endangered species and transform overgrazed land into thriving wildlife reserves. By paying to visit these places you are helping save these fragile places and their wildlife. We also fully offset your carbon footprint.
