Children's programme
Make your family safari more exciting with fun, age-appropriate children’s programmes. From wildlife tracking to bush walks and stargazing, children can learn, explore and connect with nature.
A children’s safari programme brings the African bush to life through activities designed especially for young travellers. At Nziza, we can arrange these experiences at selected family-friendly properties, where children can explore, learn and have fun alongside experienced guides and trained staff.
While the children are busy discovering the bush, parents can enjoy some well-earned time to relax or take part in their own safari activities.
Why Choose a Children’s Programme?
A family safari should be exciting for everyone, including the youngest travellers. Children’s programmes turn the bush into an outdoor classroom, where learning happens through doing, exploring and asking questions.
Depending on the property and the children’s ages, they might learn to follow animal tracks, discover how to light a fire, explore the natural world, meet local communities or simply spend time outdoors. These hands-on experiences help children see Africa beyond the animals and develop a deeper appreciation for its wildlife, people and landscapes.
Things to Do on a Children’s Programme
Every property offers something different, but activities may include:
- Guided bush walks to discover plants, insects, animal tracks and wildlife
- Learning how to identify and follow animal footprints
- Bushcraft activities such as fire-lighting and making simple bows and arrows
- Cultural visits and activities with local communities
- Baking and cooking at camp
- Stargazing and stories around the campfire
- Nature walks, games and outdoor adventures
Where to Experience It
Children’s programmes are available at selected Nziza partner properties in Kenya and Tanzania.

Plan Your Family Safari
A children’s programme can turn a family safari into an adventure your children will remember long after the journey ends. One day might involve learning to track an elephant, while the next could mean baking at camp, exploring the bush or listening to stories beneath a sky full of stars.
Nziza can build these experiences into your tailor-made safari and recommend properties based on your children’s ages, interests and the type of family experience you are looking for.
