With beautiful wilderness, the wild animals and rich cultures; Namibia is the ideal destination for a family vacation! Most 3-star accommodation, provincial and national parks, allow children of any age without problems. However, not all activities will be suitable for young children.
Please, clearly indicate your preferences, requirements and your children’s ages at the time of your trip, in your request for a quotation from Tailor Made Safaris. Our travel experts will then create a trip based on your wishes. |
Are there any places my children can't go to?Unfortunately, a number of luxury lodges do not admit children under the age of 12. This is to ensure an undisturbed stay for other guests, as young children can be boisterous and may negatively impact other guests’ experiences. Should you wish to include luxury lodges in your family holiday simply let us know and we can advise which ones will be suitable for children.
Can my child join a game drive?It is most probably possible, but not all lodges cater the same way for children:
Be sure to let your consultant know what kind of experience you're looking for so he/she can match what you had in mind to the best of his/her abilities. |
Why are these policies in place?

How to successfully travel with children in Namibia?
When embarking on a self-drive game drive, you may of course decide whether your children will accompany you. For your own safety please keep your children under close supervision.
The key to successfully travel with children is not to zoom through. Kids will appreciate the small things: make stops along |
the road and look for flowers, bugs and tracks. Don’t rush past; you will see more than just the emptiness. Namibia is not the easiest destination to travel in with small children, because of the dry heat and mostly long distances. Always make sure to have enough water, snacks and entertainment (toys, books, games) in the car!

Please note your child’s entire trip will not be discounted at 50%. The Tailor Made Safari’s team factors in all appropriate discounts prior to invoicing.
Can my children and I sleep in the same room?
When travelling with 1 child: most accommodations have no problem adding an extra bed/mattress or crib to your room/chalet. If you need a crib please indicate this well in advance so that it can be booked.
When travelling with 2 or more children: A number of |
accommodations have family rooms available. As these are very popular, we unfortunately cannot guarantee their availability. Where shared rooms are not available, we will attempt to keep families in neighboring rooms or units.
