Anyone taken their kids travelling in India/Africa?Would like some advise please?

No but have taken them to Asia. Just do get the shots first.
I may get to go to India this year for a wedding, however. Looking forward to it.

I don't really have kids but I've been to the Eastern part of India, close to the border of Pakistan. Gujarat has really great food and the temples were amazing.

Advise for travelling?

1. Wear closed shoes all the time unless you want animal and/or human shit on your feet.
2. If you're not into spicy food, you have to tell the person taking your order that you just want it mild coz even 'mild' to them is pretty hot.
3. For women/girls, don't wear clothes that reveal too much skin. The men really stare, and I mean STARE.
4. With the rickshaws, you have to haggle with the driver first and agree on a price first before you get in and go to your destination. They have a strong accent so you really have to listen to them carefully.
5. Take as much photos as you can! India's a great country and I wish I could go back to relive my memories of my travel.

I have personally seen many Europeans traveling in India with children, some as young as new born, A lady I met actually went to India to have her child born there.
I personally wouldn't advocate traveling around with new born babies, however Children will find a thousands of ways to entertain themselves in India, where people are usually warm and accommodating towards parents traveling with children.
However a word of caution, do ensure they have had their shots, avoid drinking unboiled water. Though many Indians would drink directly off a tap, its not recommended, their immune system is used to it.
The heat could be a bother if you come from a cold climate.
I would recommend you to get a copy of the Lonely Planet Guide to India as well as the guide to the places you intend to visit. You would find a lot of helpful tips on traveling with kids to India.
Again wish you a most pleasant, enjoyable, and memorable trip.
When your kids grow up the India they will witness then will definitely not be the India it is now, and they can remember the good old days when they saw elephants and bullock carts fighting for space with modern cars and buses.
Bon Voyage and Welcome to India!
