Enjoy all kinds of unforgettable adventures together, always in safety with an expert guide. Here are some of the activities your family can look forward to.... |  |
Head out on footWalking is a great way to explore the bush with your senses all alert. Learn to tell the difference between lion and leopard tracks. Identify animals by their droppings, walk along a river bank watching hippos and animals coming down to drink. There is something interesting every few steps. Your guide will teach you bushcraft |  |
Vehicle SafarisVehicles are the best way to see the most animals. This way you do not disturb them as they think you’re another animal – on wheels. Some countries have open vehicles, and some have enclosed vehicles with big windows and a roof hatch |  |
Float gently along the shore and watch the lions cool off in the shadeOn a boat safari on the mighty Zambezi watch hundreds of elephants coming down to drink and edge your way along the shores to view the game from the river.

Brave the rapids………..rafting through 16 sets of thrilling rapids down the steep side of the Zambezi Gorge. |  |
Close to the edge…………..and buzzing the falls in a microlight or helicopter |  |
and if it all gets too much....………….or for the slightly unhinged, hurtle towards the river on a bungee rope . |  |
Your family safari will be a real adventure. There are so many ways you can enjoy the wildlife.
We usually arrange for a family to have your own private guide at each safari lodge. This gives you complete flexibility in what you do and when, and you can build a relationship with your guide over several days.
You will be amazed at the variety of safari activities you can choose from. Each activity gives a new way to appreciate the animals and your surroundings.
At some camps and lodges three or four different activities are available and you can choose which you do each day. These activities have age restrictions. As we plan you safari we can select places where you can enjoy the kind of activity level that would best suit your family.
