There is no better safari geared up for families in the world. We had the best time ever as did our seven year old daughter, and the staff couldn’t have done any more for us. This place is THE gold standard in luxury safaris and Riverdene ensured it worked for children too without compromising quality for adults too. Cannot recommend highly enough and thanks so much to all the team!

From the staff to the accommodations everything was amazing. They are there to make your stay an unforgettable experience. A must stay for a safari experience when visiting South Africa with kids.
