Children on safari
Samara's Aardvark programme especially caters for children, taking them on adventure safaris, providing private dinners and hosting young children at the lodge while mom and dad take a break. Our team is well versed at looking after and entertaining 'future conservationists'and the rangers are excellent with inquisitive, hungry young minds. The exciting children’s programme centres on the AardvArk reed enclosure where children can cavort amongst giant and miniature wrought-iron cut-outs of animals found on the reserve – giraffe legs more than two metres high and a life-size family of motionless meerkats amongst them. There’s a sandpit to excavate and weird and wonderful trees and bushes.

The programme caters to children of all ages, allowing parents to take game drives without interruption from tired small people who will be whisked away into a bush wonderland and be indulged in a myriad of thrills.

During the evening, babysitters are available on request.
