Our tours are tailored to different levels of fitness and age groups. The 4-day, 6-day, and 7-day adventure tours require a good fitness level and are not recommended for children under 10 years old. These tours involve a controlled level of risk and challenging situations, ideal for families with prior adventure experience. On the other hand, our 4-day and 5-day wildlife tours are slower-paced, education-centered, and 100% wildlife-oriented, making them suitable for children younger than 10. These tours are physically challenging in terms of terrain but require zero mobility conditions, ensuring a safe and engaging experience for younger participants who have an interest in nature.
Children under 5 years old with no experience in wilderness tours may find even the 4-day and 5-day wildlife tours challenging. However, these wildlife tours are designed with a slow pace, educational content, and fun activities that help most children adapt well. If a child has no interest in nature or is not accustomed to hiking, these tours might not be the best fit. Our groups are kept small, with no more than 6 people, to ensure a personalized experience.
