Why Should You Choose Kid-Friendly Travel in Zambia?

Irreplaceable Safari Moments

Step into a land where learning and exploration go hand in hand, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Here, in Zambia’s wildest areas, wild animals that once existed only in your child’s imagination come to life in vivid reality.

Have Fun as a Group

Pamper the Whole Family

Stay in family-friendly lodges with tailored amenities. While you embrace the luxury of world-class spas and restaurants, your young explorers will be kept entertained by play facilities and educational activities tailored specifically to them.

Learn as You Explore

Introduce children to nature through fun and educational wildlife experiences. Inspire the next generation of rangers and conservationists through first-hand experiences in the bush, led by patient and knowledgeable guides who understand the responsibility of shaping young minds.

Safety First

Enjoy a safe and comfortable travel environment with peace-of-mind from some of southern Africa’s finest safari lodges and their dedicated teams of staff.

Best Destinations for Kid-Friendly Travel in Zambia

Lower Zambezi National Park

If you’re after family game drives, throngs of elephants, and some of the world’s last untouched wilderness, choose Lower Zambezi National Park. Here, just across the river from Zimbabwe, you’ll discover exactly why this place is worthy of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The whole family will be left in awe!

South Luangwa National Park

With numerous secluded, cosy bush camps that are perfect for families, South Luangwa National Park is arguably Zambia’s finest example of a game reserve. It teems with life, from big cats and Nile crocodiles to grumpy hippopotami and hundreds of bird species, all within sight of the park’s iconic walking safaris.

Livingstone (Victoria Falls)

No trip to Zambia would be complete without a visit to Victoria Falls, one of Earth’s largest cascades and the crown jewel of the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. Watch as the “Smoke that Thunders” crashes into the gorges below, transforming into the Lower Zambezi River.

Five Tips for Kid-Friendly Travel in Zambia

1. Book Age-Appropriate Activities

Ensure that all activities you book are suitable for all family members. Some, like walking safaris, may have age restrictions.

2. Take Health Precautions

Consult with a travel clinic regarding vaccinations and health advice. Keep in mind that some parts of Zambia are high-risk malaria areas.

3. Engage the Kids

Involve kids in planning to boost their interest. Our safari experts will be more than happy to hear all their brilliant ideas, even if they don’t make sense!

4. Plan a Flexible Itinerary

Allow for downtime and spontaneous activities when attention spans start to run low. After all, it’s not just the kids who run out of steam.

5. Secure Travel Insurance

Ensure it covers all family members and planned activities, whether you’re simply planning a relaxing bush and safari holiday or intending to explore Zambia on foot.
