Multi-generational Safaris
A safari is a magical adventure, but experiencing it with family makes it even more special. Multi-generational safaris bring grandparents, parents, and children together for an unforgettable journey through Africa’s wild landscapes. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or quality time with loved ones, a multi-generational safari is the perfect way to explore the wilderness at a pace that suits everyone. Here’s why a multi-generational safari is an ideal travel experience for senior travelers.
A VACATION THAT SUITS ALL AGES
One of the biggest advantages of a multi-generational safari is flexibility. Whether grandparents prefer a relaxed safari drive while younger family members embark on a walking safari, a tailored itinerary ensures everyone enjoys the experience in their own way. The optional use of a Wild Eye Private guide can also elevate the experience by personalizing the schedule to accommodate different energy levels, interests, and mobility needs, making it a seamless adventure for all generations.
CREATE LIFELONG FAMILY MEMORIES
Imagine watching a herd of elephants at a watering hole with your grandchildren or sharing a sundowner while lions roar in the distance.

Unlike standard group safaris, private multi-generational safaris allow for a personalized wildlife experience, through the use of private safari vehicles which are often included for large private groups or can be arranged at an additional expense. Whether you want to spend hours observing a leopard in a tree or prefer shorter safari drives, the experience can typically be tailored for each outing, to your family’s preferences. Some lodges also have game-viewing decks and photo hides, allowing guests to enjoy wildlife without even leaving camp.
