– Deborah Calmeyer, Founder and CEO, ROAR AFRICA
Travel is the greatest gift you can give a child. New cross-cultural sights, sounds and experiences elevate the mind and open the heart. On a family African safari, your visual field switches from screen to savannah. Vast emerald and amber landscapes unfold as far as the eye can see… rich in wildlife and pristine, untouched nature.
Africa is our home. We know her landscapes intimately, and our team’s knowledge, sensitivity and passion for her wildlife, wild spaces and diverse cultures are unrivaled. To embark on a safari with your loved ones has the potential to transform your family forever.
“I found my peace. Thank you for guiding my family toward what we needed.” – Sandy, ROAR AFRICA guest
A family safari is a learning journey rooted in togetherness
Insider access to exceptional Big Five game viewing at South Africa’s most distinguished private game reserves and lodges, from Tswalu to our top selection of sublime Singita properties. Paddle with penguins just outside Cape Town. Wake up with meerkat families in the Kalahari and track rare black-maned lions.
Stay in the best African safari resorts for families, with an itinerary inclusive of all ages. Parents can enjoy tasting fine wine with the world-class sommeliers we consider dear friends. Children can experience a hands-on cooking class in the storied Bo-Kaap neighborhood.
No two luxury family safaris in South Africa are the same. Immerse yourself in this country’s long history and rich culture through the eyes of local experts who know it like no one else.
More remarkable experiences for the whole family include:
- Bask in spectacular scenery on private cycling excursions in Franschhoek.
- Take a scenic helicopter flight over Table Mountain.
- Visit pristine botanical gardens bursting with biodiversity.
- Experience magnificent art from Zeitz MOCAA and private collections at Delaire Graff to the otherworldly Dylan Lewis sculpture garden.

Some of the best African safaris for families include destinations such as:
Kenya or Tanzania
Two iconic East African destinations rich in spectacular landscapes, diverse wildlife, and incredible expert-led experiences for children
Rwanda
The landlocked country of Rwanda is one of only three countries globally where you and your family still see mountain gorillas nestled into the dense rainforest canopies of the Virunga Mountains. Those trekking must be 15+ while younger children have their own adventures – pottery, crafts, foraging in the gardens, learning about wildlife, and even baking with the chefs back at the lodge, cared for by vetted, top-tier staff.
Botswana
Further south, Botswana is home to the Okavango Delta, the world’s largest inland wetland system that provides the opportunity to witness abundant wildlife in the most pristine, truly undisturbed surroundings you can imagine. Next door is one of the seven natural wonders of the world – the roar and thunder of Victoria Falls, which sits on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia.
South Africa
Or maybe it’s South Africa. The ultimate land of contrasts is blessed with several spectacular malaria-free reserves ideal for very young children. Dotted with exceptional geographical,
cultural, and experiential diversity, South Africa’s ever-changing landscapes, statuesque mountain ranges, pristine white beaches, spectacular wilderness areas, lush Winelands, and world-class cities exceed even the highest expectations.
A luxury family safari to South Africa offers one of the best blends of nature, culture, and city-sites. From walking safaris to shopping trips in the bustling city center, a luxurious South African safari is an ideal choice for a first family safari.

“A seamless experience”
Jacqui Gifford―Editor in Chief Travel & Leisure magazine
“ROAR AFRICA truly made our trip special!”
Guest
“The staff and guides were impeccable in every aspect of our trip. Saying we miss them all is truly an understatement. ROAR AFRICA truly made our trip special. Normally on trips, there are hiccups, but this one was seamless.”
“I can’t begin to express my gratitude to ROAR AFRICA for arranging the most amazing trip our family has ever had!”
Guest
“Organizing a group of 13 family members on short notice to celebrate my husband’s birthday in a place we knew nothing about was daunting. It was the little things and the big things that we will forever remember.”
“ROAR AFRICA arranged an absolutely unforgettable safari experience for our three-generation family group.”
Guest
“As we reflect on the trip, it is very apparent that nothing was left to chance. The camps we stayed at, the order of the camps, and the individual experiences we had at each camp were clearly carefully selected and orchestrated to ‘build’ over the two weeks of travel to result in an unforgettable time in Africa.”
