Family Travel

Gane and Marshall family safaris have developed in variety and quality over the past few years. Our expertise will enable you to choose the right holiday for your family. This is also relevant to those seeking a culturally sensitive eco holiday for their family.

More and more top safari camps are now catering for families and have introduced specialist guides, private vehicles, interconnecting rooms, early meal times and baby sitters. Holidays for the adventurous family, with young and teenage children, are a speciality of Gane and Marshall.

These are holidays that needs the most careful thought and planning, and that's where we come in. Organised properly and with consideration of the ages and interests of the family members, your family safari will be a truly wonderful holiday.

The ages of children will dictate to a certain extent the type of holiday we would suggest. With younger children there are a number of excellent family-orientated lodges in Kenya. We also offer adventurous mobile camping Kenya safaris.

In Tanzania we offer a unique and memorable light mobile family safari for those families with a taste for adventure. See the clients' feedback and the itinerary of the Black family, who planned with us a very special family holiday to North Tanzania. There they stayed in their own private wilderness camp in Serengeti, walked in the hills around Ngorongoro Crater and met lots of local people; all this before snorkelling and beach relaxation on Zanzibar.  Click for a decription of Light Mobile Safaris in our Tanzania safari portfolio.

Zambia, with some lovely private houses, is also beginning to open up to the family market and for the more adventurous, a private mobile camping safari in Botswana would take be an exciting option.

For those travelling with teenagers, some time in the Livingstone area with all the activities on offer around the Victoria Falls is a good choice. Cape Town with its great beaches and stunning scenery will appeal to any family member.

South Africa also offers a number of malaria free camps in good game viewing areas for those wishing to travel without having to take malaria prophylactics.

We will ask whether you want to see anything specific, wildlife, birds or places and the type of accommodation you prefer - hotel, tented or lodge. It is also useful to know what style of holiday you enjoy as a family and the sorts of activities you want to participate in. Whether you want to add a beach stay during the trip is also an important consideration. There are many wonderful properties along the African coast, nearly all of which welcome families.

Our experience of organising family safaris, adventure and beach holidays goes back over 18 years.
