Children's Programme - Child Policy
We have spent a great deal of time carefully considering our child policy to ensure the correct balance between providing an exciting safari experience for children, ensuring our young guests' safety at all times and providing a wonderful family holiday, yet ensuring that the enjoyment of other guests is not compromised at all.
- The children's programme is on a fully inclusive basis: all meals, soft drinks at Mark's Camp and on game drives, activities, entertainment, child minder's services and children's facilities are included in the rate.
- The children's programme is designed specifically for children under the age of 8 years, but children older than 8 (including parents) are welcome to join in on any or all of the activities.
- The child minders look after children and babies of all ages as well. They are on duty from 06h00 - 10h00 in the mornings and again from 16h00 - 22h00 in the afternoon/evening. Should any additional childminding be required outside of these hours, the host or hostess will gladly arrange it. Kindly note that the additional hours are an extra charge of R50 an hour.
- Children under 8 years of age may not, under any circumstances, join the adult's game drive. They will be taken on their own 'Bumble Bee' drive accompanied by their child minder to see the less dangerous game. For safety reasons, the children's rangers will avoid close range Big 5 sightings.
- Children under 8 years of age may not dine with the adults in the main dining area.
- No child under 18 years of age will be served from the bar.
- If the family is travelling with their au pair, he or she is charged the full adult sharing rate and can join in with either the adult or children's programmes. A family unit will be booked for the child minder and children and an additional room for the parents.
- All activities and participation therein is at management's discretion.
- Any dietary requirements must be advised prior to arrival at Lalibela
