Best Child Rates

Your happiness quotient matters the most and when it is about traveling with family, getting the best rate is one of the pre-requisites. At times the overall quote may seem steep however always check on the value for money. For instance the safari operator may offer a flight instead of road journey, which is better as long road journeys make many kids cranky who do not enjoy a thorough safari experience. Consider all factors and choose a package that best caters to your family needs.

“We have just returned from an amazing Safari in Tanzania, visiting Lake Manyara Ngorongoro Crater, central and Northern Serengeti. Our guide Walter was brilliant. He collected us from the airport and then was our guide for the week. He was so knowledgeable, thoughtful, great with our kids, he went above and beyond such as parking up and have our picnic (in the jeep) amongst the wildebeest and coffee watching the hippos and crocs! He always got us to the right place at the right time so that we were able to see all the animals and we were lucky enough to see 4 river crossings, which were very exciting. All in all we had a fabulous experience and made lots of happy memories and left feeling like Walter was one of the family!”
