Zambia and Zimbabwe Family Safaris
For families with children old
enough to enjoy the African bush at its best, Zambia is an
incredible family safari destination to consider, offering
fantastic wildlife, genuine wilderness, varied activities
and exclusivity. Families can really enjoy an adventure into
the wild, with fantastic guiding and a complete escape from
modern facilities and communications.
A key reason why Zambia is such a great family safari destination is the variety of activities on offer. As well as standard game drives (by day and night), Zambia offers some of the best walking, canoeing, boating, fishing and microlighting available in Africa. Victoria Falls Town (Zimbabwe) and Livingstone (Zambia) are known as the ‘adventure capitals’ of Africa, with white-water rafting, elephant-back safaris, bungee jumping, jet-boating, helicopter flights and much more on offer. Swimming in a rock pool on the top of Victoria Falls, canoeing past pods of hippo on the Zambezi or flying over the falls in a microlight are incredible activities for families to experience together. Please note that many of the activities (rafting, walking, canoeing, microlighting, horse-riding etc) will have minimum age limits.
