The Majestic Lion

King of the jungle and a symbol of Africa’s wilderness, the lion is a must-see on any safari. Witnessing a pride lounging in the golden savanna or stalking prey across the grasslands is an experience that will leave you awestruck.

The Powerhouse of the Plains

The African buffalo is a formidable grazer, often seen in large herds. Don’t be fooled by their grazing demeanor. These powerful animals are surprisingly agile and have a reputation for fierce defense.

The Elusive Cat

Leopards are the most secretive of the big cats, perfectly adapted for camouflage. Spotting one perched on a branch or stalking prey in the tall grass is a true safari highlight. 

The Prehistoric Relic

Seeing a rhinoceros with its thick hide and prehistoric appearance is like stepping back in time. South Africa is home to both white and black rhinoceros, both critically endangered but making a comeback thanks to conservation efforts.

Consider Activities Not Countries

To find the perfect destination for your family, think about the activities you and your kids enjoy. Instead of trying to visit multiple countries at once, plan your adventure around one country.

Hire a Private Guide

When going on a safari with kids, it’s essential to get a private guide. It will allow the adults to get a break and your kids can connect with the staff. If you can’t afford a private guide, you can rent a private vehicle, which will still be fun for the entire family and will give you more flexibility.

Talk Before the Trip

Tell your kids where you’ll be staying, the animals you’ll see, the activities you have planned, and how you’re going to travel. Make sure your kids feel part of the planning process.

Planning an African safari adventure does require some preparation, however. Here are some things that you should do to ensure that you’re ready before going.

Get Vaccinations

The tropical, foreign diseases which are present in most African countries are something that people should be vaccinated for before traveling. Check with your doctor and country recommendations, but you’ll want to at least get vaccinated against diseases like yellow fever. 

Research Guides

Safaris are always done with a guide or guide group in Africa, and before you spend thousands on making this journey, do your best to ensure that the people you’ll be going with know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about. Check reviews online thoroughly to go with the peace of mind that you’ll be led by experts.

Apply for Visas

Many popular safari destination countries require entry visas for tourists who will be traveling there. Check visa requirements for citizens of your country long before going, and be sure to apply for whatever sort of documentation you’ll need far in advance.
