Main Camp - Addo Elephant Park
The ‘no-children’ policy that used to be common in most safari and wildlife lodges in South Africa has become a thing of the past as an increasing number of travelers choose to take their children along on a safari.
Most lodges that have opened up to children and especially the camping experience is popular with kids. Time is these days a commodity that is very scarce and safaris are a great opportunity for families to get together and reconnect with each other.
South Africa features high on the list of dream holidays for families. According to a survey conducted by Virtuoso Travel Dreams, it is the third most popular dream destination and the fifth most ideal family destination. These statistics are confirmed by a Skyscanner survey, which found that South Africa was the fourth most popular holiday choice for children.
The great infrastructure, the variety of excursions and activities as well as the diversity of child-friendly accommodation, make South Africa an ideal destination for families with children. And for visitors from Europe, there are good flight connections and no time difference.
Self-drive, self-catering safaris remain the most popular and the Kruger National Park most probably the ultimate destination. However, some of the other National Parks such as Addo Elephant, Mountain Zebra and Marakele National Parks offers similar child-friendly facilities.
