It is important to note that many lodges have a minimum age requirement and this may influence your trip. This is typically between 8 and 12 and even in some cases 16. Most of the lodges that do allow children younger than this won’t allow them on game drives, both for safety and disruption reasons, unless you book a private game vehicle. And we don’t want the little ones to be left out, so it’s important to know which lodges cater specifically for your children’s ages. We do not recommend Botswana for children under the age of 6 years. Most activities have an age restriction – mokoro from the age of 12 years, game drives from the age of 6 years, walking safaris from the age of 12 years. Many camps will also require families to hire a private safari vehicle in order to allow kids to join on safaris. Most camps offer child minding services. We recommend Botswana for multi-generational families with kids 6 years and above. Tanzania is a very child friendly destination. With the closed safari vehicles children are allowed on the game drives. Most of the camps also offer child programs to keep the little ones entertained. It is also recommended to look at camps that have a pool for the kids to enjoy besides the safari element.
