Zambia has a handful of great safari camps, lodges and dedicated houses which offer superb facilities for family safaris – and these pages will help you to identify them, and choose between them.
 
Zambia’s family safari houses typically these come with between two and four bedrooms, and are self-contained with their own kitchen (chef provided), own 4WD for safaris (with professional guide), so you and your family can set your own safari schedule – to sleep, eat and game-view when you want to do so.
 
On more modest note, many safari camps in Zambia are owner-run – and many of these are excellent for family holidays with slightly older children, who will really appreciate the child-friendly guiding that’s found here. So read on for some ideas of Zambia’s best safari camps for families and children – and then click on the camp names for more details of each one mentioned.
