A typical day on a luxury family safari looks like this 🐘⁠

Fly in Johannesburg and arrange transportation with the lodge⁠

We went in November (the start of their summer)⁠

Tips and Things to know before going on a safari with kids:⁠
⁠
🦒The earlier you can wake up, the better for spotting animals⁠
🦒Dress in layers. Cold mornings and warm afternoons.⁠
🦒Pack bug spray and sunscreen, plus any meds you could need⁠
🦒Pack suckers for the younger kids, for when you absolutely need them quiet and still⁠
🦒Request and make sure you have a private vehicle if you have young kids (most lodges require it anyways)⁠
🦒Choose a family-friendly lodge⁠
🦒Almost all luxury safari lodges are all-inclusive ⁠
🦒Bring lots of cash and tip well!⁠
🦒Stay at an airport hotel so you can rest and get adjusted to the time before the safari⁠
🦒4 nights is long enough with young kids! ⁠
🦒Head to the beach or Cape Town after a safari⁠

Beat age for kids!? Really parents know their kids best. We’ve taken ours as young as 6 months with a car seat in the safari vehicle. And then I’ve met some kids who couldn’t handle the long drives at age 5-6. For us around age 5 is our recommendation. ☺️
