Yes, a safari can be an unforgettable experience for children, especially when it’s designed with their age, safety, and interests in mind. At BTD Safaris, we welcome families and specialize in child-friendly safari planning.
What Age Is Comfortable for a Safari?
We generally recommend safaris for children aged 5 years and older. At this age, children can better enjoy game drives, follow safety instructions, and stay engaged for longer periods.
For children under 5, a private safari is highly recommended so you can set your own pace.
Some lodges and parks have minimum age limits, especially for walking safaris or balloon rides (typically 6–12+ years).
We’ll guide you to the best options based on your child's age and needs.
