Uganda has so much to offer families.
Whether you’re looking for a large family villa to accommodate the whole family or a hotel with facilities to please the adults and the kids, Uganda has it all; from luxury hotels with Kids’ Clubs that keep the kids busy to allow the adults sometime alone, to Lodges that are surrounded by a wealth of attraction for the family to explore or a beachfront family resort with lots of family activities.
Going on Family Safari
A family safari holiday could be full of excitement for Kids; hand feeding giraffes and stroking young baby elephants in protected Zoos, discovering wild animals on a hot air balloon flight or on a game drive, going on a guided bush walk led by an armed guide and visiting a the traditional villages.
Not only, will a well planned family safari be an unforgettable and exciting, but will also be very safe and educative to the young once; who have fresh minds and want to learn about Africa and its environs. Some of the major place for a family safari in Uganda would include the famous Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Mburo, Murchison Falls national Park, Tour Lake Victoria and Victoria Nile or visit Kibale National Park and Bwindi National Park for Gorilla and Chimps trekking for families with kids who are over 18 years.
As we all know, children tend to get bored from doing one thing for long; at Kentz Safaris, we try to mix the game drive with other activities like horse riding, mountain biking, hiking, swimming, playing family football, tennis, picnics and so on.
A family safari has no age restrictions, but we at Kentz safaris recommend that families with kids between 0 – 5 year should avoid the long safari drives, and engage in short trips to animal orphanage, museums, zoos and other attractions that are close to your hotel.
Family Beach Holiday
Uganda is a landlocked country with a few beaches along the shores of Lake Victoria and on its Islands. The beaches are convenient for weekend beach vacations, family getaway, fishing or water sporting tours.
Along the Lake's shores, there are luxury family resorts and villas that are strategically located on the lake-front and have plenty of Kids facilities. Entebbe town and Kampala city, are just a short drive to the Lake and provide a wide range of family hotels that you can also choose to live in while on a beach holiday in Uganda.
