The safari and beach location that will best suit your family will depend on the ages and interests of your children.

Family safaris for older children and teenagers can be anywhere in Africa, and some of the most cost effective options are to be found in Zambia and Tanzania. 10-12 year olds really suit safari in Tanzania and Kenya, as well as Botswana.

For children under 10 there are a number of options, of which South Africa is probably the best as it offers some safari areas which are malaria-free.

As a general rule safari is tiring and involves early starts, so just a few days' safari tends to be enough for younger children, and we recommend a beach extension afterwards somewhere like Zanzibar.
