Family safari trips built for adventurers of all ages

Just because you’ve settled down and had children doesn’t mean your days of adventuring are over. Kids often have wildly different needs than adults, which is why we don’t just adapt our grown-up itineraries for smaller travelers. Little things like age-appropriate activities, hotels with amenities designed for families on the go, and SEMs that think like kids and adults alike are just a few of the things that set our Family safari trips apart. We believe that everyone deserves to have the time of their lives, no matter how old they are.

Family tours are specifically designed to engage travelers of all ages. Many tours include a mix of activities that the whole family will love as well as some down time for rest and relaxation. Family safari vacations are popular because it gives a chance for grandparents, parents and grandchildren to spend quality time together and experience the world, while being surrounded by other travelers that are the same age and have the same interests. Traveling presents an environment for learning, cultural experiences and lifelong family memories.

Family edutainment

Family trips introduce kids to the inner workings of other cultures through language, music, dance, sports, crafts, and time with experts and locals that bring what they’ve learned in school into real life.

The more the merrier

The average Family group safari consists of about 12 people, typically three or four families from all over the world and with kids around the same age as yours. If one family member isn’t having a good time, nobody is. We give each Family tour a Recommended Age rank so parents can tell if it’ll be a good fit for their kids before they go.

Learn now, appreciate forever

Travelling is the perfect way to open up a child’s world to possibility, imagination and wonder. Inspiring and fulfilling experiences lead to new interests, and exposure to different environments, cultures, and languages helps children of today become the responsible, well-rounded adults of tomorrow. Our Family Safari trips deliver a seamless mix of adventure and education that’s so much fun your kids won’t even realize they’re learning something the whole time.

Buddies for life

One of the advantages of group family safari travel is the diversity of people you get to share your experience with. Family trips are a great way for children to meet and interact with other kids from around the world who are close to their own age and share common interests. It’s not uncommon for families who meet on our trips to stay close after the trip ends; some even make the experience an annual tradition.
