"Kenya's
Intrepid Sojourn"
 The Ultimate Educational, Ecological, Cultural and Fun Experience!
| There have been and are other Family
Safaris, but no other appears to offer such a wonderful opportunity for a whole family -
from grandparents to children to be able to interact with the culture, children and
wildlife of Africa, and, more importantly, to interact with each other in a superbly
unique environment, whilst enjoying the traditional fun and adventure of a Safari!
All the hotels and lodges featured are
very children friendly , and the arrangements for most days allow for the
children to be taken care of by trained animators and naturalists, whilst the adults can
participate, or do other things, as they wish. Air travel is used extensively to allow for
more time for fun and educational activities, and less time becoming agitated, tired
and restless on bumpy and dusty roads.
THIS Family Safari
offers
child discounts, even with the children in
their own room, thus avoiding the often cramped alternatives of two extra camp beds in the
parents' or grandparents' room! |
 |
Key features include
All accommodation has a pool
Naturalists are readily available to look after the children
Air travel is used extensively to reduce time spent on bumpy and dusty roads
including flights: Nairobi/Samburu and Nairobi/Mara/Nairobi/Mombasa
Game drives are in a 4x4 vehicle with an English-speaking driver-guide
All meals, snacks (except in Nairobi) and bush meals on safari
A few of
the children’s activities include: interaction with Maasai
from children to village elders, making campfires, throwing spears, basic
Kiswahili lessons, tracking and spoor-casting, traditional dancing and much
more...
