Family Safaris in Zambia, Africa

Although stalking a pride of lion on foot could hardly be regarded as the ideal extra curricular activity for a 9 year old, there are plenty of safari activities that are ideally suited to the children whilst on a family holiday in Zambia.  Much wildlife can be seen even by our less patient visitors, and great fun can be had tracking and identifying footprints and droppings.

The African bush holds many treasures for all its visitors and there are few things more rewarding than seeing the awe in a youngster's face as he is brought close to a herd of elephant or crouches to watch a dung beetle rolling its carefully prepared bundle across the ground.  Family safaris in Zambia can satisfy all generations and are becoming more popular as a holiday getaway of choice.

At Norman Carr Safaris we appreciate that whilst most families will want to stay together for their gameviewing, there will also be times when the older generations want some time alone, either on a more extensive walking safari than is suited to the youngsters, or perhaps just in the bar or at dinner of an evening.

At the start of any family safari we will discuss how you want things to work.  We are used to organising special meals at special times, we offer junior gameviewing checklists and activities both in the vehicles and on foot (you would be surprised how many different types of dung can be found in the bush just around camp), and we can offer babylistening services, posting a member of staff on guard outside your room whilst you relax over dinner; whilst a dedicated specialist private guide and vehicle can help ensure that the length and content of each safari drive ideally suits you and your family.

Other activities that you may wish to include in your safari holiday include visiting the local school or village, making traditional clay pots, and learning to play traditional African rhythms on the drums. 

If you are considering Africa as a destination this year then we suggest you consider a family holiday in Zambia.  Please take a look at our "Luangwa Lion Cubs" family safaris package for an idea of what we can offer, and please do contact us with your specific requirements, remembering to give us as much information as possible about your family and what you are looking for.  This will provide us with the basis to offer you the very best of family safaris in Zambia.
