In a world that is full of so many other distractions from what is raw and real, it is a true blessing to be able to raise our children surrounded by the greatest gift that the earth provides us with – Mother Nature with all of Her treasures and lessons.
The vast and varied nature of Londolozi provides a unique sense of wonder for our children that no other environment can, with its wildlife and landscapes. It is an opportunity to stimulate the senses, allow creativity to flourish, imagination to prosper and the soul to connect with what is important in life.
It isn’t just enjoyable- it is vital to their well-being and healthy development. Through their own experiences with the natural world around them, children are able to identify with their surroundings and therefore feel connected to the magic of the wild.
At Londolozi, we welcome children from the age of six and up in two of our camps to join us on safari, and in between the safaris there is a whole host of activities to keep them entertained and out of the parent’s hair. So when thinking about when to take your children out into nature, the sooner the better, get the children into the wilderness as young as possible and watch them thrive.
On a recent afternoon game drive accompanied by Sam and Seb, we encounter a herd of elephants on the Londolozi airstrip and have a remarkable sighting all the while, Seb is enamoured by the abundance of wildlife around us.

Excellent Sean
Thank you so much, Jim.
Most children love animals and nature, so a safari a great way to give them the opportunity to see animals from close by and watch their behavior. Thanks for this lovely family-bumble video, Sean. And good look for the birth of member number 4 of your family!
Thank you so much, Christa. Raising children in the wilderness is such a blessing.
Congratulations, Sean and Sam! Seb is adorable and we are so excited for all of you! Enjoy all the amazing wildlife with your growing family! 🥰😘
Thank you so much, Dolores. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
How very sweet! All the best to your family as you add another ranger.
Thank you so much, Willa.
Congratulations, Sean and Sam! When’s the baby due? – please post something on the blog when he or she arrives.
Thank you so much, Suzanne. So this post was delayed slightly, we had a little girl, Olivia Rose Zeederberg on the 27th February.
Sean, CONGRATULATIONS on your expanding family! This video was extra special to see you Seb and Sam on a drive. The sighting with the elephants was amazing. It seemed like they were coming to you to say hi!
We look forward to bringing our grandkids to Londolozi in the next couple years. Our children had early experiences there and we could not recommend it more highly!
Thank you so much, Michael. I am so glad that you enjoyed it. Sharing this magical place with the kids is such a special privilege.
First of all, congratulations on the impending arrival of baby #2. I’m sure Seb will be happy to have a sibling to knock about with around camp. Your video actually brought tears to my eyes as it was so touching to see your son out in the big open space, watching the movements of elephants, zebras and wildebeest. Most other children his age will only observe them in zoos, of which I’m not a fan, especially for elephants. It’s always beautiful to watch a herd with little ones, staying close to mom, trunk flailing about in search of ??? Thank you for such a peaceful Sunday safari – see you in about 3 weeks!!
Thank you so much, Denise. We are hugely grateful to be able to expose Seb to the wildlife out here. Seb was in awe of the elephants, and any animal to be honest. See you soon.
CONGRATULATIONS! So exciting! Best wishes for speedy delivery! Seb is ADORABLE and yes safari is a million times better than the zoo but zoo is all we could manage when my boys were little and I wanted them to appreciate and respect animals too. Since having been on safari now (Kenya) can’t ever visit a zoo again but our photos of ellies, widebeast, rhinos, hyena, giraffe, cheetah and a leopard grace our walls to encourage everyone who visits our home to go visit Africa!
Thank you so much, Anita. We are so grateful that we get to expose our kids to the wildlife out here. But do appreciate that not everyone is able to so do not take it for granted.
Congrats!!! Very exciting.
Thank you so much, Linda.
Very nice change of pace Sean. LOVE the word “bumble”!!! Beautiful family!
Thank you so much, Bob and Lucie.
Sean that was a wonderful surprise to see your wife Sam and son Seb on the video today. He seemed to enjoy the elephants and he was so intrigued by them. Your family is awesome and soon there will be another addition to your awesome family. May you Sean ,Sam and children have many more enjoyable hours spent together,surrounded by wildlife and spectacular scenery. Londolozi is the perfect place to introduce the children to the wildlife and to teach them everything you know Sean.
