Zimbabwe Family Friendly Lodges

Zimbabwe Family Friendly Lodges

Below is our selection of what we at Uyaphi.com regard as the establishments that are best suited for family orientated safaris in Zimbabwe. A selection of lodges, camps, and hotels that cater to children of all ages with suitable accommodation, meals, and safari activities will entertain and educate the little ones.

Accommodation options include safari villas/houses where one has exclusive access to the entire establishment, family suites comprising either two-bedroom or one-bedroom units with up to four beds or if the children are old enough, a room/suite of their own. These options will always depend on the family's age and, of course, one's budget.

The selection of Zimbabwe lodges below is what we at Uyaphi.com regard as the best options when visiting this magnificent country.

Important note on Zimbabwe with children, Malaria is present in most areas. This will need to be considered when planning a safari to this country (and most of Southern and Eastern Africa, for that matter).
