Family safaris: your questions answered
What is the best safari for young children?
A malaria-free reserve close to Johannesburg, such as Pilanesberg or Dinokeng, keeps travel short and avoids malaria tablets.
Are there age limits on game drives?
Some lodges set a minimum age, often 6, for open-vehicle drives. We pick child-friendly lodges for families.
How much do children pay?
Children aged 3–11 pay half price. Contact us before booking for children under 3.
How do I book and pay?
You can book online and pay with PayPal or card in US dollars. Trips more than 45 days away need only a 30% deposit; the balance is due later.
