Many people have watched the cartoon “The Lion King”. And children would not refuse the opportunity to see prototypes of heroes in their natural habitat. And adults would get a unique experience<\/a>. So it's time to plan an African family safari.<\/p>\n

The most difficult task can be choosing the right safari lodge. If you don\u2019t want to suffer, you can take a ready-made option from tour<\/a> operators. The choice ranges from tiny rustic bungalows and former hunting lodges to family estates and luxury villas. The largest of them offer not only daily safaris, but also spa services, gyms, various activities for teenagers and entire play centers for children.<\/p>\n

Where to start looking for an African safari?<\/h2>\n

You can get an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat you<\/a> want by looking at the safari lodge websites on Uyaphi.com\u00a0<\/a> and Go2Africa.com<\/a>. All information about hotels<\/a> is collected there: photographs, descriptions of premises, entrances to the building and other things.<\/p>\n

Safari lodges have always welcomed children. But now they have started offering two-bedroom suites, which will be more convenient for travelers with children. Or, for example, you can take a small house for six to ten guests. For those traveling in groups, discounts<\/a> are offered when booking the entire lodge.<\/p>\n

And this is a plus for the travel company. They will help you choose accommodation<\/a>, and upon arrival they will help you with your luggage and take you to a hotel<\/a> or lodge. In addition, the company provides visa support<\/a> and deals with other issues.<\/p>\n

The best housing offers<\/h2>\n

If you want to stay in a luxurious location and still have the opportunity to meet other travelers, look no further than Little Bush Camp<\/a> at Sabi Sands in South Africa's Kruger National Park. Visitors can stay in one of 25 suites. There are swimming pools, a spa, a gym, a game center, a gift shop and a pond next to the dining area where you can watch the elephants during lunch.<\/a><\/p>\n

In Zambia, the South Luangwa River National Park is home to the Bushcamp Company Group<\/a>. The main lodge, with an open-air lounge, restaurant and 12 private rooms, is a 30-minute drive from Mfuwe.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in the Okavango Delta, take a look at the Shinde<\/a> camp, which is located next to a pond and open plains. Chief's Camp<\/a> and Stanley's Camp<\/a> are also great options for families. They are located on forested islands and are surrounded by lagoons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What should you consider when planning your trip?<\/h2>\n

One of the main dangers in South Africa is mosquitoes that carry malaria. They pose the least threat during the dry months – from July to mid-October.<\/p>\n

If you travel at other times, then take light-colored long-sleeved shirts and long trousers for the trip. And also do not forget to use<\/a> repellents.<\/p>\n

It is also recommended that you get the required vaccinations for your region<\/a> in advance. In South Africa, these include vaccinations against malaria, cholera, yellow fever and rabies. Medical insurance<\/a> will also not be superfluous, especially if you are traveling with children.<\/p>\n

When to go on an African safari?<\/h2>\n

From June to August – winter. These are dry months with cool or even cold nights and mild, sunny days. September and October are warm and dry. They are not as green and the animals are much easier to see in bushes or in ponds. December, January and February bring rain. During this time, be prepared for muddy roads and possible travel delays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
