We welcome children of all ages at Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp.
Our friendly guides will be able to offer dedicated children’s activities. These include teaching the art of poling a mokoro - a local dug-out canoe commonly used in the Delta. It is propelled through the shallow waters of the delta by standing in the stern and pushing with a pole, in the same manner as punting. Find water and identify edible plants in the bush. Learn how to make rope out of natural materials.
Children aged 15 years and younger are required to share with an adult. The camp is able to accommodate 2 triples per night. Children aged 15 years and younger aren’t allowed on walking safaris.

Child minding is charged at a nominal fee, which is paid to the child minder.

Afternoon and evening game drives include classic sundowner cocktails and canapés at specially selected spots before returning to the camp for pre-dinner drinks and dinner.
