family expeditions

Want a family holiday with a difference? Try one of our family expeditions that cater specifically for parents traveling with young adults and children 6 to 16 years of age.

Nothing compares to seeing the wildlife up close in their natural habitat and if you’re lucky enough, a big cat kill or a herd of elephants wallowing in a waterhole. Camping out under starfilled African skies, hearing the roar of a lion at night, watching a stunning sunset and taking in the picturesque landscape - its a David Attenborough extravaganza right before your eyes.

Our family expeditions are ‘hands on’. Getting involved and experiencing the local way is half the fun. Join us on Mokoro trips, walk with lions, put up your tents and help with the cooking - its all part of the trip and a lot of fun for all the family.

You’ll get to see some of the best landscapes and wildlife that Africa has to offer. And travelling with on the go, we’ll take care of all the little details to make this a family holiday to remember!
