This private family safari through South Africa combines luxury, adventure, and time together in nature’s most inspiring settings. Designed with families in mind, the journey allows you to experience exceptional lodges, expert guiding, and moments of pure connection – whether spotting elephants at sunrise, sharing stories by the fire, or cooling off in your private pool between game drives.
Your adventure begins in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve at Chitwa Chitwa, where the spacious Charlsy Suite provides a private retreat overlooking the water. Daily safaris are tailored for all ages, with rangers who make every drive an exciting learning experience.
Later, continue to Thornybush Game Lodge, where your exclusive Kamara House villa comes with a private guide, tracker, and safari vehicle. Here, family-friendly experiences, from junior ranger bush walks to outdoor baking sessions, bring the magic of the African bush to life.
Your family safari begins at Chitwa Chitwa, set beside a tranquil lake in the heart of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. The Charlsy Suite offers space, privacy, and comfort, with two interconnecting en-suite rooms, a shared lounge, and a deck overlooking the water. Between game drives, relax in your private pool and listen to the sounds of the bush just beyond your doorstep.
Each day brings new discoveries on morning and evening safaris, led by expert rangers and trackers who know how to make the experience engaging for younger explorers. Watch for elephants at the water’s edge, lions lazing in the shade, and leopards weaving silently through the grass. Between drives, join short guided bush walks or spend time together at the lodge, where the atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and deeply connected to nature.
Continue your safari at Thornybush Game Lodge, a family-friendly destination known for its exceptional service and attention to detail. Your home here is Kamara House, a private two-bedroom villa with its own plunge pool, personal guide, tracker, and open-air vehicle. Each safari is customized to suit your family’s rhythm – exciting for children, yet unhurried enough to enjoy the beauty of the wilderness.
Kids can join specially designed activities, including guided bush walks that reveal the secrets of insects, animal tracks, and native plants. Cooking sessions invite them to bake treats for afternoon tea, while parents unwind with a massage, a glass of wine on the deck, or simply quiet time watching giraffes pass by. With expert babysitters on hand, evenings can be as adventurous or as peaceful as you wish.
As your journey comes to an end, your family will leave with shared stories, a deeper connection to nature, and memories of Africa that will last a lifetime.
