Wild Young and Free

A Journey Into the Wild, Tailored for Young Explorers

At Otter African Safaris, we believe the African wilderness isn’t just for adults; it’s a magical classroom for kids, too. A kid-friendly safari is a life-changing experience, where the wild becomes a wonderland and each game drive, a treasure hunt of discovery. We specialise in safe, engaging, and unforgettable safari experiences for families with children, from toddlers to teenagers.

Whether you’re introducing your little ones to their first elephant or bonding over a campfire under starlit skies, Otter African Safaris ensures every family safari is fun, educational, and safe.

Why Choose a Kid-Friendly Safari?

Not all safaris are created equal. Long drives, adult-only lodges, and rigid itineraries can turn a dream vacation into a chore when you have children. That’s why Otter African Safaris designs special itineraries that focus on:

• Shorter game drives to match children’s attention spans
• Interactive wildlife activities to keep kids engaged
• Family-friendly accommodations with flexible meal times and child-safe environments
• Educational guides who love answering curious questions
• Creative downtime activities like storytelling, crafts, and nature walks

We aim to turn a simple safari into a fun, wild classroom for your children.
