Book nowAge rules in plain terms
The Walk With Lions has a minimum age, for the child's safety and the animals'. Younger children are welcome on the guided predator tour, waterhole viewing and the broader day package.
Keeping kids engaged
- Book a morning slot — attention spans fade in afternoon heat
- Let the guide lead; children ask better questions than adults do
- Pair with the Elephant Sanctuary for a second animal encounter
- Bring water, snacks and a hat for each child
Transport with children
Private transfers can carry child seats on request. Mention ages when booking so the vehicle is set up correctly.
