We began planning safaris all those years ago to help more families enjoy travelling in Africa together. We saw that family travel was becoming ever more popular – and boy were we right!

Did you know that multi-generational travel is currently a leading trend according to Virtuoso? And the statistics confirm its enduring popularity with a survey by MMGY Portrait of American Travelers revealing that 23% of grandparents embarked on solo trips with their grandchildren, while 45% of all leisure travelers included kids in their journeys.

This trend excites us! What also excites us is that, in Africa, numerous tour operators and accommodation providers are rising to the occasion, ensuring families are catered to with tailored activities and amenities.

From immersive kids’ mini-ranger programs to indulgent spa treatments for parents and grandparents, fenced safari camps for curious little ones, and walker-accessible pathways for seniors with reduced mobility, there’s something for everyone.

Are you prepared to embark on the African adventure of a lifetime with your closest loved ones? There’s no better way to do so than with a multi-destination vacation, offering the ultimate value for your money and endless opportunities to create cherished family memories.

One of our favorite multi-generational combinations? Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania. This

Okavango Delta

amazing trio allows you to explore the wildlife-rich Okavango Delta, witness the majestic Victoria Falls—one of the Seven Wonders of the World—and marvel at the spectacle of the Great Migration.

The Okavango Delta, Botswana: Get ready for water-based adventures in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. This expansive inland river delta features vast grassy plains that flood seasonally, providing a rich habitat for a wide variety of remarkable wildlife. From elephants to lions and rare species like the African wild dog, wildlife encounters are plentiful. Enjoy guided mokoro (traditional canoe) excursions, driven game drives, birdwatching, fishing, and breathtaking helicopter flights to soak in the scenic beauty.

Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe: Victoria Falls, famously dubbed ‘The Smoke that Thunders,’ stands as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Stretching across the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, these colossal waterfalls present a spectacle that truly defies imagination—best witnessed with your own eyes and ears. From adrenaline-pumping activities like bungee jumping and whitewater rafting to more relaxed experiences such as river cruises and guided rainforest walks, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

The Great Migration, Tanzania: Witness the extraordinary journey of more than 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, as they traverse the Serengeti Plains into Kenya’s Maasai Mara. This awe-inspiring annual migration features exhilarating river crossings and gripping predator-prey encounters, showcasing the unfiltered beauty of nature. Behold massive herds in motion, with sightings of majestic lions, sleek cheetahs, and stealthy crocodiles, offering a safari experience of unparalleled grandeur.

The prime times to explore this African trio are during May’s spring break or between July and September.

Where to stay 

There are plenty of exceptional family-friendly lodges and camps across Africa. We have travelled the continent far and wide to find the best of the best based on your unique interests and needs. It is our greatest joy to pair your family with the best lodges for them across these amazing countries.

So, have we convinced you that this should be your next adventure? Great! Here is your next steps: Give us a call!

To plan African safaris we usually want a year+ so we can have our pick of which lodges you stay at. This adventure can be planned in just over 6 months, but we will most likely not have our first pick of lodges. Especially for a multi-gen family with specific needs (such as elderly members or small children) it is important to have time to find the perfect lodge!

We want your family to be our next client, so call or email us today so we can dream up your perfect safari!
