Namibia family tours are trips planned around children. We keep drives short, choose lodges with pools and family rooms, and plan activities kids enjoy, such as dune climbing, sandboarding and game drives. The south and the coast of Namibia are malaria-free, so you can plan a trip for young children with no malaria risk.

Price and how to book
Children often pay less than adults. Our family camping safari charges 50% for children aged 5 to 11. The shorter trips below stay in the malaria-free south and coast and suit families with young children.

Namibia Family Tours FAQs
Is Namibia good for families with young children?
Yes. Namibia is safe, roads are quiet and the south is malaria-free. Some game drives have age limits, so we choose lodges that welcome children.
What is the minimum age for a safari in Namibia?
It depends on the lodge. Many lodges allow children from 6 years on game drives. Our family camping trip starts at 5 years.
Which parts of Namibia are malaria-free?
Sossusvlei, the Namib Desert, Swakopmund and the south are malaria-free. Etosha and the far north have some risk in the wet season.
