Family Safaris
Your favourite family story Starts Here!
Imagine your children spotting giraffes beyond the window, watching elephants move through the grass, and asking questions they never thought to ask at home. Now imagine enjoying those moments together, with a safari planned around your family’s interests, comfort and pace.
At Mallya Tours, we create personalized safari itineraries. Tell us your children’s ages, when you’d like to travel and what matters most to you. We’ll help you turn the idea into a trip that makes sense for your family.
AN Eye-Opening Educational Experience
A safari with Mallya Tours stays with your children for years. Here, kids get out of the seat and into the bush. With an expert guide, they walk through the savanna, read animal tracks in the dust, and creep up on grazing zebra. Some nights they sleep in a treetop hideout above a waterhole, watching the animals arrive to drink.
They also meet the people who know this land best. A morning with the Maasai might include a lesson in archery. With the Hadza, your children can forage for wild fruit the way local families have done for generations. Every visit is arranged with the community’s agreement, so your kids learn from people, not from a performance.
Tell us your children’s ages and what they love, and we’ll plan the days around them.

TAKE THE WHOLE FAMILY: MULTI-GENERATIONAL SAFARIS
A shared safari can bring generations together in a way few holidays do. But everyone may enjoy it differently. One person wants an early start; another needs a slower morning. Children want variety, while grandparents may value comfortable accommodation and fewer moves.
Tell us who’s coming and what each person needs. We can explore a personalised itinerary that gives everyone something to look forward to, with space to enjoy being together.
Your family’s safari starts with a conversation
We offer both luxury safaris and affordable family safaris, and we’re happy to tailor things to fit your group. There are also generous discounts for children, making it easier to bring the whole crew.
