Family Safari Under Wide Skies

This is a family trip, so adults and children travel together, and at least one child under 18 must be part of your booking. The minimum child age is 5 years old, and travelers aged 17 and under receive 20% off the full adult price.

Families should be ready for long driving days and bumpy roads. Some drives can reach 6 to 7 hours, which can feel long for younger kids, so snacks, games, patience and flexible expectations matter.

This is a participatory camping trip. Everyone gets into the team spirit by helping with camp setup, food preparation and cleaning. Families help put up and take down their tents as the trip moves from place to place.

Loita Hills uses a secure bush camp with basic facilities and cold showers. Hot bucket showers are available in the morning, but Wi-Fi is not available and upgrades are minimal. The cultural experience is the reward for the simpler comfort level.

The purpose-built overland vehicle has large sliding windows for game viewing. It does not have air conditioning, so it can be hot and dusty at times.

Accommodation includes 1 night in a hotel, 2 nights in cottages and 4 nights camping with facilities.

Family rooming depends on group size and availability. Families of two are usually placed in a twin room. Families of three are placed in a triple room where possible, though sometimes this may be a twin room with a mattress or extra bed added. If a triple room is not available, the family decides who takes the single room.

Families of four or more will usually stay in two twin rooms. Quad rooms or nearby rooms may be requested, but they cannot always be guaranteed, especially during peak family travel periods.
