Eco-Luxury Family Safaris
These days, safaris are family-friendly, with most camps and lodges welcoming children of all ages.
We generally recommend having our own private vehicle and guide – that way, if one of your kids gets a bit noisy or wants to go back to the lodge, you can do so without disturbing other guests.
And safari goes beyond Africa – you can experience fantastic eco-luxury wildlife safari encounters in South America, Alaska, Australia, and New Zealand.

Destinations For Each Age Group
No matter the age of your kids, your trip will be designed to make it amazing for all of you
Best Trips with Young Kids
If your kids are aged 5-10, we recommend Costa Rica and Thailand, where there are fantastic kids clubs, and you can all get involved in helping at a wildlife conservation project, and learn an enormous amount about the animals, such as elephants and monkeys.
Best Trips with Tweens
For kids aged 10-12, we still recommend Costa Rica and Thailand, plus India and Sri Lanka for wildlife conservation, as well as building eco-friendly stoves in Belize, Peru and India. These stoves can be completed in just a few days, and are fantastic for family bonding.
Best Trips with Teens
Animal loving teens can still help on a wildlife conservation project, perhaps turtle conservation in Costa Rica, Greece, and Turkey. Families with teens can also get immersed in the local culture and make a lasting difference on a building project, such as houses in Guatemala, Zambia and Cambodia.
