This is the ultimate wildlife safari for families!  A fully escorted private tour, designed specifically with families and small groups in mind, that offers flexibility and freedom.  With the camp entirely your own, children have space to expel their natural exuberance and there is no need to worry about disturbing other guests.  With your own personal chef and Tour Guide, your safari is tailor-made to suit you - it is a far more relaxed and rewarding experience for every member of the family. 

Trust Thompsons to bring you this unique safari experience, which is designed to take into consideration each families needs.  We can also easily add on any activity the family or group of friends desires.  Thompsons Africa offers a range of day tours in all of the tourism hot spots as well as accommodation, car hire and transfers with a range of suggested packages and getaways to suit all tastes and interests.

 
Itinerary  Highlights

Day 1: Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve (D)
Clients depart Hluhluwe by 13h00 (allowing clients on the Durban to Hluhluwe shuttle to connect if necessary, on specific departure days), arriving at your private lodge in the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve, in the early afternoon. This is the oldest game reserve in Africa, famous for its white rhino conservation. The reserve is not only home to the largest concentration of both black and white rhino, but all of the 'Big Five' occur here as well as many species of general game. Unpack and spend some time settling in, before heading out on an afternoon game drive in an open safari game viewing vehicle, returning early evening for dinner. While on safari learn about the incredible history of the area, where famous Zulu battles were fought and King Shaka's hunting grounds and about the conservation success stories.

Day 2: Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve (BLD)
Early morning wake-up, with coffee, tea and light snacks before heading out on a dawn game drive. We will stop for coffee and biscuits, whilst on the game drive. We will return late morning for a full brunch. Today we will also visit the reserve's renowned Centenary Centre and the museum that depicts the history of live game capture and animal relocation. There may be the opportunity to see animals being held in the bomas, awaiting relocation. Enjoy an afternoon game drive on return to the lodge for dinner.

Day 3: Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve (BLD)
Early wake-up, with coffee, tea and light snack. This morning we head out on a game drive and boat cruise on the Hluhluwe River and enjoy a picnic break-fast in the game reserve. On the boat cruise we have the opportunity to see hippos and crocodiles as well as any animals that come down to drink. After-wards we head back to our lodge for lunch and a period of relaxation before heading out for our last afternoon game drive.

Day 4: Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve (B)
This morning is our last game drive, returning to the lodge for breakfast, before packing up and departing. Arrive back in Hluhluwe, Gazebo Safari Lodge by 12h30 (giving clients time to connect with Hluhluwe to Durban shuttle if required).

Please Note:
As your camp is entirely your own, although we have provided time guidelines above, you and your family may choose the duration and time of your game experiences. The camp staff and rangers have an understanding of children and will always bear their best interests in mind. Arrangements can also be made for children to be left at the camp whilst the parents enjoy a game drive. Your family safari is entirely flexible.

Optional Pre & Post Tours

The Hluhluwe area is emerging as a great adventure hub with so many fun and varied activities that the whole family can enjoy - see our Hluhluwe and St Lucia day tours and activities page for more information.  From kayaking, to game viewing on horse back or on quad bike, turtle tracking (a night time foray to find these massive sea creatures - seasonal), dolphin and whale trips out into the ocean, wild waves adventures and more.  We have offices, with our own vehicles and guides, based in Hluhluwe and St Lucia.

Throughout Southern Africa we have a range of accommodation for holiday makers who may wish to extend their holiday, and our Internet Consultants will know just the right accommodation options to suggest for families in all of these areas. 

We can easily help you to extend your vacation - why not tack on two nights in Sun City - another destination that is an explosion of fun for children

Perhaps a few nights along the Garden Route, which is a wonderful area to self-tour, with a wealth of activities for the whole family, ending your tour in Cape Town, where again we have a myriad of accommodation options for you to choose from and a full range of day tours which can be taken on a private basis as well.
