Choose a lodge or a tented camp with family rooms or adjoining rooms, and keep the route short enough that children are not in the car all day. A 5-day family safari with wildlife drives and lodge comfort is $1,500 joining or $1,900 private on Kilita's card. Camping can be affordable and fun with older children. It is a harder week with small children and shared wash blocks.
How Kilita plans it
Ask which lodges allow three people in a room and what age counts as a child for park fees. Those two answers change the quote more than the lodge photographs. A private vehicle is usually the right family choice, because you can stop, turn around, and keep a nap time. Build one shorter game drive into each day.
What to do next
- Ask the child rate for parks and for the lodge.
- Prefer a private vehicle.
- Pick lodges with family rooms over a long list of parks.
- Keep at least one easier day in the middle of the week.
