KID PROOF TRAVEL: WHERE SHOULD YOU GO?
Is it a good idea to go to Africa with children? It may not be the most obvious choice and it takes
some flexibility, but it is certainly possible! The region is very diverse and there are plenty of
child-friendly options. Tanzania and Kenya, for example, are the ideal countries to explore on
your own. The roads are in perfect condition (especially in Kenya ), everything is marked and
you can stop whenever you want. Another advantage, these countries are largely malaria-free.
You cannot escape a few long travel days (but trust us, they are worth it). However, do you want
to see and experience a lot without spending hours in the car? Then choose East Africa!
Tanzania and Uganda offer the perfect combination of bush and beach, green Uganda is full of
wildlife and beautiful lakes and Rwanda is ultramodern and clean. In East Africa, the kids learn
a lot about nature, there is a lesson behind every tree. But it is the special encounters with the
super friendly locals that make an unforgettable impression. This cultural exchange will broaden
their worldview and horizon!
Whichever destination you choose: we arrange the accommodations, such as a private villa with
a swimming pool or a local homestay.
TRAVELING WITH YOUNG KIDS THROUGH AFRICA.
Safari and other activities
Of course, your kiddos want to see all of the Lion Kings characters in person. A safari is
possible in every country in East Africa! Some parks do have a minimum age for guided game
drives (often from 6 years). A self-drive is then the solution. In terms of costs, a safari with the
family is also easy.
an hours-long game drive spent on your kids? Then choose a safari in a conservancy, where the
rules are a bit more flexible. Or go for a bicycle safari, boat safari, or walking safari. Besides
ticking off the Big Five, there is still plenty to do. Ziplining, rafting, swimming, canoeing, climbing,
snorkeling, you can’t imagine it is possible in East Africa!
Safety
An East Africa trip carries security risks. However, the chance that something will happen is
small. So it’s a shame to ignore the beautiful and versatile Great Lakes region. In general,
everyone here loves children. Your kids will have a lot of new friends in no time. Of course, we
do not send travelers to areas that are not safe.
good advice. Malaria is also a threat you want to protect your child from. Although you can take
measures in malaria areas, there are also plenty of areas where malaria mosquitoes do not
occur at all! In any case, have your GGD or general practitioner advise you well before your trip.
