Why this trip
Lions in the morning light, elephants at the waterhole and giraffes by the roadside: a safari in the Kruger area is an experience children link with books and films and then actually see in the bush. May to September is the dry season, and the animals come to the waterholes. Kruger National Park is large, and families can watch the animals on their own drive or on guided tours. Private reserves such as Klaserie and Timbavati offer guided drives in open vehicles, with rangers who answer children's questions and explain tracks in the sand.
Many lodges set age limits for game drives, so clarify these in advance, and plan breaks, snacks and hats, because it is cold early in the morning. Lukimbi Safari Lodge and Makanyi Private Game Lodge are among the places to stay in the region. Sabi Sand, Johannesburg and Hluhluwe are not far, but families do well to visit only one area. Discuss health, malaria prevention and medication with your doctor before the trip.
Which lodge, which age limits and which rhythm suit your children is something Swiss Vibes clarifies in a video call.
