Cardinal Bush Buddies has arrived.
Safari is no longer just for the grown-ups. A new world of wildlife, discovery and adventure is waiting for our youngest travellers — and we cannot wait to show them Africa.
Let their African adventure begin!
We are delighted to introduce Cardinal Bush Buddies, our new safari concept created especially for families travelling with children.
Because a safari through a child’s eyes is a completely different adventure.
Cardinal Bush Buddies is designed to make family safaris exciting, engaging and memorable for younger travellers, while ensuring the adults can enjoy the journey just as much.
From the moment the adventure begins, our young explorers become part of the experience. Think animal tracking, wildlife spotting, junior ranger activities, bush walks, nature discoveries, storytelling, safari challenges and plenty of surprises along the way. But Bush Buddies is about more than simply keeping children entertained.
We carefully design each family journey around the ages and interests of the children, the needs of the parents and the rhythm of the family — selecting the right lodges, safari experiences, activities and travelling times so that everyone enjoys Africa together.
Child-friendly safari lodges and camps.
Junior ranger and wildlife programmes.
Animal tracking and nature activities.

Private family safari experiences.
Carefully planned itineraries with child-friendly travel times.
Time for adults to relax while the children enjoy their own adventure.
Whether it is a child seeing an elephant for the first time, learning how to identify an animal track, ticking off their safari sightings or sitting around the fire sharing stories from the day, we want every young traveller to return home with their own African story to tell.
And for parents, it means knowing that the safari has been planned with the whole family in mind.
Our abilities, skill and competencies have been earned first hand, through dedication and operational
experience across Africa.
