SAFARI ITINERARY 

At Nkwali Camp, Robin’s House and the Luangwa Safari House we welcome children and individually tailor Zambia safari activities for each family. The belief is that children should be included as much as possible and as such specific programs are designed for them depending on their ages and interests. There is a whole range of safari activities available including game drives and nature walks to learn to identify animal spoor and droppings, birding for beginners and learning to use spotlights at night.

Families can do activities together or the children can be looked after and entertained by our staff. Other activities available include safari packs with fun quizzes and puzzles, trips to Kawaza school to meet Zambian children, helping bake cookies in the kitchen and collecting eggs from the hen house. The older boys love going to the workshop for the morning, playing sport (beach cricket) or even having a sleep in, lazy morning and fry up by the pool.

Robin’s House is an ideal place to stay (for more Zambia accommodation ) as the privacy it affords means your family can be totally relaxed and feel at home. There is a wide range of children’s books and games available including puzzles, cards, swing ball, paints and a sandpit. The swimming pool is nearby to cool off after a safari. If the group is more than five then the Luangwa Safari House, with eight beds, is also available.

For families with older children (12 years and over) we suggest that your safari continues with a few days at either Tena Tena or Nsefu camp.

* And … try the sun block, malarial pills on children before you go, to see if they react against them.
