Family Safaris in Africa Offered by Safari Specialist

UK (PRWEB) November 19, 2009

One of the things many parents aspire to, but can find infuriatingly elusive, is the perfect family holiday. There's a relatively short window when the children are old enough to enjoy travelling, but young enough not to feel that the only thing that would make it better would be if the parents weren't there. And then of course there's the cost of the family holiday.

Most hotels view anyone over the age of 12 as an adult. One well known theme park in the States, (apparently impervious to the inherent irony of their position) even views anyone aged more than 10 years old as an adult, when it comes to paying.

So how refreshing it is to hear of one African safari company, who really understands the plight of families. Far from penalizing children older than 12 years old, Natural High Safaris takes the view "Who wants to be a grown up?

One thing that a safari in Africa awakens in us all is our inner child, so Natural High are delighted to be able to offer a range of spectacularly authentic family safaris in Africa, where any family travelling with children up to the age of 21 will only pay the child accommodation rate.

So for families looking for an exceptional experience, one that takes them and their children out of their every day world, where can they begin? Well, if it's wild animals they want to see, then few African countries can rival the quantity and diversity of National Parks in Tanzania. A Tanzania safari would be a very good choice for a family seeking real adventure in Africa.

The Serengeti offers high-octane game viewing, with the wildebeest migration taking centre stage, and ample chance to see all the major animal species. For families looking to get a little more remote and perhaps do a bit of walking, then Southern (Selous and Ruaha) and even Western Tanzania (Mahale and Katavi) are good places to start.

For something completely different, a safari in Kenya could be perfect since Kenya boasts some of Africa's most beautiful scenery. While places like the Mara provide stunning game viewing, what most people come to Kenya for is its vast wild areas where there are few rules and the feeling of wilderness is intoxicating. Here anyone can walk, ride, swim in rivers and generally behave like they last did when they were 8 years old.

Anyone considering their options for a family holiday might well be thinking about the adventure of a safari trip but this is always a better choice when the children are allowed to be children in every sense including the cost of the holiday.

After more than a decade working as a safari guide, camp manager and bush pilot, Alex Edwards started Natural High Safaris offering a range of safari adventures.

Natural High Safaris offer a wide range of safari experiences in several African countries including Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia and Botswana.
