Tips to prepare your safari trip with your children
It’s up to you, you will go on safari with your children. To start your preparations, you must first inquire about the risks your children are exposed to in the destination country, and generally speaking we are talking about health issues here, should they be vaccinated before leaving? Then, when you make your accommodation reservations, remember to check before booking because some lodges do not accept children, or those of young age. And finally, concerning your luggage and your children’s luggage, plan to bring warm and light clothes, because in some places it can be very hot during the day and very cool at night. If possible, also bring a camera and a pair of binoculars for your children to make their own memories.
Precautions to keep your children safe and healthy
On safari, danger can be anywhere. So keep your children in sight and never let them wander away or risk running into a dangerous animal. For hygienic and health reasons, only make them drink bottled water and put in your first-aid kit disinfectant, bandage, pain reliever, anti-pyretic, sunscreen, lip balm for the plane and dry air conditioning, spasfon for stomach aches for possible small health concerns.
Other tips to make the safari with your children go smoothly
A few tips are worth considering for any parent who wants to go on safari with their children to make their safari go smoothly. Since the safari requires patience, something that children usually don’t know, they need to be taught how to manage expectations, by giving them a hobby while waiting: pencils and notebooks, books, etc… And if your children are asleep, only wake them up at the right time because getting up very early and coming home at the end of the day can be tiring for them.
