Suitable for families with children

Family verdict

Go with kids 4–17 for the lion safaris and crocodile centre — both hold children's attention and require minimal walking. The main catch is early safari start times, so prepare for pre-dawn wake-ups and bring snacks to keep energy up. Book the Devalia zone visit for mid-morning when kids are more alert.

Why this rating?

  • Lion safari
