Why is this tour inappropriate for a 10 year old?

We only offer tours to children over 12, with an accompanying adult, as often there are long distances involved, and this can be boring for a child. Then, most importantly, there is the safety aspect; we may come into close proximity to wild animals where the travellers need to listen to their guide and act accordingly. To have such a young child in this kind of situation is simply unsafe.

Our tour with Sunway Safaris exceeded our expectations in every aspect. An active Australian couple in our 70's we enjoyed the African "outback" experience, the varied scenery, open spaces and wonderful wildlife. We felt safe through-out the trip. The principal guides, Moses and Prince, were excellent, and lots of fun; the specially designed buses comfortable, even on rougher roads, with great viewing through large clean windows. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, including the tented camp accessible only by Mokoro. The itinerary of 14 nights taking us from Jo'burg to Maun, Okavango Delta, Moremi, Chobe, Victoria Falls gave us mostly 2 and 3 night stays and we did not feel rushed or tired though we are used to getting up at sunrise. A special thanks to our wonderful expert wildlife safari drivers and guides, especially Solomon at Moremi and Phillip and his team of Mokoro paddlers.Show more

Fabulous experience from start to finish.The locations of all the accommodation were breathtaking. The drives on very poor roads were long and tiring but we were prepared for that.The quality and variety of the food prepared by our guides was excellent and it was fun to join in the preparations with the rest of the group.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sunway Safaris for an unforgettable trip to Southern Africa.Show more
