"If you want to go fast - go alone. If you want to go far - go together" African Proverb
FAMILY SAFARI ZAMBIA
Why is Zambia such a fabulous family holiday destination?
-
You can feed rescued elephants, go horse riding and take helicopter flips over one of Africa's most famous sites in Victoria Falls, Livingstone.
-
Learn identification of animal “poop” (the all time favourite for kids on safari), tracking skills of animal spoor, make bush bread, beat an African drum, bow and arrow making, rope making, star gazing, entomology and seed jewelry making at Kaingu in Kafue National Park or try your hand at fishing in the Lower Zambezi National Park. Spend your evenings around a campfire while learning African tales that leave you charmed by Africa all over again!

The bush is a playground and schoolroom for all ages. A family-friendly African Safari creates the ideal condition to bond over "once in a lifetime" experiences. Zambia offers rich wildlife, scenery, culture and adventure activities that appeal to everyone. Watch your child grow in leaps and bounds as they interact with our highly qualified, knowledgeable guides. A multi-generational safari holiday is a special experience that you'll always treasure.

Look for the small five, green five, ugly five or the Big Four in South Luangwa National Park. Your family can watch baby elephants splash in a waterhole, listen to the call of lions after dark and hear the shrill cries of a Bush baby at night. Visit a local school, learn to make jewelry from animal snares or indulge at the Bush-Spa.

For first-timers Zambia is the perfect one-stop African safari destination. We recommend you stop to explore and discover the hidden gems, bush secrets and the friendly Zambian people instead of rushing from one place to another.

Finding the right family safari lodge is the best reason to use a local operator. Ntanda Ventures specialize in Zambia and with our firsthand knowledge, it will cost you the same price if not less. A DIY Safari often comes with unexpected extras. We like to talk to our guests - your holiday is as special as your family.
