Involving the children from the beginning of your planning is a key to successful travel; the involvement will obviously be dependant upon their age, whether it's a trip to the travel agents in their buggy to see the models of the ships and planes, or a visit to the Library for books about the animals they might see.

Travel Agents

Air Travel is so quick, easy and relatively cheap now that those of us wanting travel and adventure are spoilt for choice. Yet some travel agents present a rather unbalanced image of what will greet you. Belize is promoted as a beach and tropical rain forest paradise, but literature rather glosses over the steaming heat and wonderful array of parasites.

Another point about some travel agents is that you are unlikely to receive unbiased advice, remember they get paid a commission from the tour operators and you are likely, therefore, to be steered towards the particular operator who is offering THEM not YOU the best deal this week!

Specialist operators and independent travel agents are much more likely to be able to offer you detailed information and the flexibility to tailor make your holiday around your families requirements for facilities and services.

Kid’s Stuff In Africa

Released By Okavango Tours and Safaris

What better way to spend a family holiday than in the African wilderness. We choose lodges with dedicated staff who will organize activities to suit everyone in the group, including children and teens, such as football matches with the local village schools. Seba Camp in Botswana’s Okavango Delta has a new spacious family tent with interlinking rooms sleeping four with it’s own small pool, sandpit and toy box. Being a base for research on elephant behaviour, Seba adds a unique educational experience for the kiddies. Kapani Lodge in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park is a favourite among family safaris. The bungalows are ideal for families, and babysitters are available to allow parents a break for a couple of hours for those very exciting game drives. Games drives for young passengers are catered for, so the entire family can experience day and evening game drives.
