What travelers are saying

"The trip worths the money spent on it. The skills and knowledge from the guides and the COO Oliver demonstrate why it's important to have a guide in this kind of tours. We had the chance to see the big five and be amazed by astonishing sunrises. For those like me who love camping and the countryside, the safary was so good. Waking up early is mandatory if you want to see the animals doing their things before the morning goes by. I had the chance to use both the minivan and the Toyota LandCruiser and I have to say that both of them are good for different areas (the Landcruiser was amazing, by the way ^_^) Oliver and his team spoke both spanish and english and surpresingly with really technical and well formed vocabulary. It seems they are really used to speak in spanish with the tours, which is nice when you listen about scientific and nature terms. In overall, I enjoyed the tour and the hotels, and also the meals (my favourite meat in the world now is the crocodile, superb!), with different tastes and flavours depending on the area (the night bbq at Massai mara was so real eating lamb as they use to do) Thanks Oliver for the nice trip, I hope I can come back anytime with the kids too!"

Family Friendly Tour Selection Trips

  • Find a tour that focuses on kid friendly activities. Many guided tours welcome children, but not all focus on activities specifically geared toward them. So finding a kid-centric tour can keep them entertained and engaged. And these tours usually try to craft a balanced itinerary so parents get a fulfilling travel experience as well.
  • Cultural tours with a lot of demonstrations and hands on activities are perfect for kids - they help bring the past to life! 
  • If going on a tour that involves adventure activities, such as river rafting or zip lining, make sure to double check all age requirements. These are in place for everyone’s safety and are important to adhere to.
  • Families often get discounted rates for museums, tours, and landmarks, so be sure to ask about this when booking your trip.
