Family Adventures in the Bush
Children at Jaci's
Safari is for Everyone
At Jaci's, we believe that safari is an experience best shared across generations. Children aren't just welcomed - they're celebrated, with programmes designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and create lifelong memories in the African bush.
From tracking animal prints to earning their Junior Ranger badge, young explorers at Jaci's are given the space to learn, discover, and fall in love with the wild.
Age Guidelines
We welcome children of all ages at Jaci's, with tailored experiences and safety protocols designed for different age groups.

Junior Rangers Programme
Our Junior Ranger course is designed to turn young guests into confident bush explorers, teaching them about animal tracking, identification, bird calls, and responsible wildlife viewing.
Led by our experienced guides, the programme includes hands-on activities, interactive lessons, and plenty of time in the field. At the end of their stay, Junior Rangers receive an official certificate to mark their achievement.
