Family Travel
“I took my mother on safari for her birthday, and Travel Sommelier made it the trip of a lifetime. Darren understood what we were looking for right away and created the ultimate itinerary for us–a night in Victoria Falls plus stays at three very different, very stunning Botswana camps. We felt very taken care of in a very foreign land, and my mother was treated to not one but two birthday celebrations while we were away, which was all Darren’s doing (Darren, thanks for making me look good!). Darren’s deep knowledge of Africa–the camps, the culture, the airports, the animals–was invaluable. And Natalie was so friendly, responsive, and organized. We couldn’t have done it without them. I would recommend Travel Sommelier to absolutely anyone planning a trip to Africa.” –Sarah H, NY, NY

Travel Sommelier has noticed a new trend in multi-generational travel. Safari provides both an enriching and practical forum for such journeys.

Many lodges have family-friendly configurations. Kids’ camps provide a fun, educational experience and at the same time, are built-in child-care. Children can choose to go on some, all, or no game drives. When they stay at camp, they will be entertained with crafts, cooking lessons and other fun activities. The camps see many tears when children need to say good-bye at the end of a trip! Families can structure their meal times all together, after the kids go to bed, grandparents with grandchildren and Mom and Dad alone, or however else they wish.

The resounding feedback from clients is that multi-generational safaris exceeded
their expectations as a meaningful family bonding experience and they will treasure the memories forever.
