If you are considering going on a safari holiday but want to take your children with you then you need to ensure that you do your research t find out where to go an what sort of safari holiday you should book. If your children are very young, below the age of six or seven then they may not fully appreciate a safari holiday and you may be better to book to go without them or when they are a little older. Although you may feel guilty about not taking them, it could be that actually they do not enjoy the trip and would have rather stayed at home with granny.

Safaris can be a once in a life time experiences but they can also be quite a full on holiday and very different to the usual beach holiday you may of previously been on. Most safaris are done very early in the morning meaning you may have to get up around three to four o’clock. This can be hard for an adult let alone a small child. You also need to ensure you go to a malaria free zone as this disease can be deadly for a child.

You should consider going on a self drive safari as this way you can choose when you set off and when you stop for breaks. You also can head back if it all gets a bit too much.
