Few lodges and indeed Parks in Africa allow children under a certain age to stay or enter. The optimum age is from 8 upwards, below that it is too young. Tanzania's Northern Circuit is ideal for kids - not too many boring long periods. I led a party of 5 adults and kids using GFS in Tanzania and it was fantastic.
