Africa for All

TAKE A MULTI-GENERATIONAL TRIP WITH AFRICAN TRAVEL, INC

ASK ANY TRAVELER WHAT TOPS THEIR BUCKET LIST, AND MOST WILL SAY, “A SAFARI IN AFRICA,” then go on to explain the reasons they haven’t taken one yet: Their kids aren’t old enough; they can’t decide where to go; or, they don’t know where to begin.

Fortunately, African Travel, Inc. — the longest established luxury safari operator in the U.S. focused exclusively on the African continent — has a retort for all these rationalizations.

The company offers a variety of safaris that cater to families and bestow a deep sense of connection to the natural world, and to each other. In fact, African Travel is known for specializing in multi-generational trips, tailored to each member of the family – from kids to octogenarians. Perhaps that’s why the company has been named Travel + Leisure’s “#1 World’s Best Safari Outfitter” and received the Departures “Legend Award.”

While the company covers almost the entire continent, these itineraries are the most popular for multi-generational family trips.

SOUTH AFRICA’S NATURAL WONDERS

Over the course of 10 days, families can explore Cape Town — a melting pot of biodiversity and culture. From there, it’s off to the southern tip of the country for a stay at the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve where you’ll board an eco-boat cruise in search of South Africa’s Marine Big Five: Southern right whales, great white sharks, bottlenose dolphins, Cape fur seals, and African penguins. The final days of the trip are spent at the world-famous Shamwari Game Reserve, one of the largest private conservation initiatives in Southern Africa, and home to the coveted Big Five.

WORLD’S GREATEST SHOW

Capturing the wonders of Kenya and Tanzania, guests will follow the most likely route for observing the Great Migration — an annual event where millions of wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River — rare predators following in their tracks. The Ngorongoro Crater, views of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, and the famous largetusked elephants of Amboseli are all easily viewed given the included bush flights between luxury camps. This safari itinerary is also an investment in East Africa’s future wildlife leaders.
