There's nothing like a family safari to create fun moments for your family... especially the kids. You and your children will be talking about the time you saw a cheetah race by on the plains or you spotted an elusive leopard perched on a tree branch above. 

No question about it, a family safari is an opportunity for everyone to not just appreciate the natural world but to appreciate our family with whom we share this precious time. 

Want to get up really close to the sights, sounds, and scents of nature? To truly immerse yourself in our fascinating natural world nothing beats a walking safari.

If you've gone on safari then you're sure to have heard of Africa's "Big Five" - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. 

However, there is another wildlife collectibles category that isn't as well-known but highlights much smaller African game, some of them quite tiny but still fascinating... like the elephant shrew.
