A family holiday is an opportunity to relax, have fun and spend time together. But what makes a family holiday in Africa so special?
Through personal encounters with Africa’s rich cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and extraordinary wildlife, you are laying a foundation for empathy, a sensitivity towards those different from your family and a mindfulness that will last a lifetime. By cultivating an appreciation for our planet, exposing them to diverse cultures, and connecting them with extraordinary life experiences, you can shape their values and elevate their understanding of the world from an early age.
Africa is a place of great beauty and diversity, but it is also a place of great need. There are many communities in Africa that lack basic necessities such as clean water and healthcare. And the need for greater conservation efforts has not waned. By traveling to Africa, you can help your kids learn about the importance of giving back and making a difference in the world. By helping them fall in love with Africa, you can ensure its place in their hearts and that the conservation of its wildlife, land, and communities will become a deep-seated priority for your children in the years to come.
When you embark on this transformative journey and fall in love with Africa, you will create cherished memories that will endure for generations.

Local babysitting and nanny services can also be arranged to give parents significant blocks of rest and relaxation, too. Families may even opt for a private lodge and safari vehicle, which allows for full control over the timing of game drives to suit your family. They often feature dedicated chefs and rangers, too.

REASONS TO FEEL SAFE WHEN TRAVELLING TO AFRICA
WHY AFRICA IS PERFECT FOR KIDS
REASONS TO BOND WITH YOUR FAMILY IN AFRICA
An Earth Ambassador is a young person who is passionate about taking care of our planet and its inhabitants. They are respectful of life, including animals, plants, and people. They understand the importance of conserving our resources, and they are committed to making a difference in the world.
As an Earth Ambassador on safari with Timeless Africa Safaris, your children or grandchildren will learn about the interconnectedness of all life on our planet. They will develop a deep respect for nature and the natural world. And they will be inspired to take action to protect our planet and its inhabitants.
AFRICAN EXPERIENCES CHILDREN ENJOY ON SAFARI
• Learning about different animal tracks
• Seeing and remembering the big 5 five, the little 5 five, the ugly 5 and the shy five
• Cleaning their teeth using twigs from the toothbrush tree
• Connecting with their safari guides and hearing stories about wild animals
• Spending afternoons sourcing their next meal from the lodge’s organic gardens.
But these are not the only experiences your children or grandchildren can enjoy. When they’re a bit older, they can go behind the scenes to learn what it is to be a game ranger and look after conservancies and find out why animals are tagged; even ‘tagging along’ with the rangers to view real animal tagging situations.
Our Timeless Africa Safaris team have curated magical kids’, tweens’ and teens’ activities to help beautifully ingrain the Earth Ambassador values into their hearts and minds. By raising your children and grandchildren to be Earth Ambassadors, you are leaving them a legacy that will make a difference in the world. And that is something you can be proud of.
