Yes, and we love planning family trips. We choose family-friendly camps, keep driving days shorter and build in pool time. Some camps have minimum ages, which we’ll flag when we plan.

Most days start early to catch animals at their most active, break for lunch and a rest when it’s hot, then head out again in the late afternoon. Your guide will adapt the day to what you want to see.

A deposit of 30% confirms your booking, and the balance is due 60 days before you arrive. We accept bank transfer, and card payments can be arranged. Full details are in our booking terms.

Our prices include park fees, accommodation, meals as listed, your guide and vehicle, and airport transfers. International flights, visas, travel insurance and tips are not included. Every proposal lists exactly what’s covered.
