Discover new experiences together, learn from new cultures, see extraordinary sights, wonder at wildlife and create shared memories with Wilderness’ family safaris.
Travelling as a family you can disconnect from the realities of daily life, have long chats around the campfire and celebrate a special occasion, or simply life itself. Wilderness has your family safari covered with special rooms dedicated for families, experiences for children of all ages and more.
Wilderness Little Makalolo
From your private family suite in Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, watch the wildlife parade at the waterhole. Play soccer together with local children at the village school. Feast on breakfast jaffles or share lunch poolside. At the end of the day gather to share stories fireside, or enjoy drinks in the nearby hide where foraging elephants may join you, creating magical family memories.
Wilderness Jao
In the heart of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, discover Jao’s delights with childlike wonder at every turn. Venture by boat, in search of painted reed frogs or the flashy feathers of a malachite kingfisher. Indulge your curiosity in the interactive museum and library. Or spend quality family time around your own private plunge pool.
Wilderness Serra Cafema
Journey to the home of the Himba in Namibia’s remote Kunene region, and discover a life-changing experience, no matter your age. Unwind in the tranquil setting of your riverside suite. Quad bike together in a lunar landscape. Take a thrilling boat ride on the Kunene River. And share the space with one of the world’s last nomadic communities.
Experiences
Every family is different and that means they require different experiences. Here are some of the Wilderness experiences that the whole family can enjoy.
Watch their faces light up as they see creatures big and small on morning and afternoon game drives.
Witness your kids make new friends, learning and sharing with cultures so very different to their own.
Together, cast your lines into Africa’s iconic rivers, for exceptional catch-and-release fishing on safari.
Specialised activities for the kids
Meet our Bush Buddies, key staff members who are your child’s very own guide to the wilderness. Trained in childcare and education, often with children of their own, our Bush Buddies will tailor activities especially around your child’s age and interests. Whether they’re making casts of animal tracks, embarking on a nature treasure hunt, having fun in the camp kitchen, or learning bird calls, your children will feel inspired to appreciate and conserve their own natural worlds.
