Families and small groups from two to eight people wanting to enjoy a hassle-free safari often discover they have limited options. Many of the fully catered, leave-it-all-to-us game lodges don't accept children or are very rigid in their programmes. That leaves self-catering bush camps, but for some, the idea of buying, packing and then cooking all their own food doesn't have much appeal.

Thompsons has come up with an ideal compromise ....

FAMILY AND SMALL GROUP SAFARIS

We make use of small self-catering camps and lodges in both small and large game reserves, taking them over for the sole use of the family or group to ensure that their stay is totally exclusive. We tailor-make the getaway to suit the family's needs, from the type of lodge used, meals required, activities wanted and their times, to when the children's meals are served. We lay on game drives; day and night, guided walks, boat rides, beach trips and snorkelling. As always, flexibility is our game, these safaris can be single destination or multi-destination ranging from two to ten days. The emphasis of the safaris is wildlife and related activities. 
We run them in the following game reserves: in KwaZulu-Natal, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, Mkhuze and Ithala, in Mpumalanga and Limpopo, Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand, Manyeleti and Letaba Ranch.
Trust Thompsons to take care of your once in a lifetime wildlife safari, helping your dreams come true.
