Friends of Africa Family Safaris
A
family safari vacation to Africa is an adventure carefully
chosen to share a big adventure together and see the
exciting wildlife in beautiful African settings has all the
ingredients of a unique family holiday. Add in easy access
to beaches like Zanzibar, Mombasa, Pemba, Mafia and the
chance to come into contact with other cultures like the
Maasai in a friendly non commercial environment, adventurous
Mountain treks like Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya and
you have a holiday of a lifetime. We have recently been
called by someone organising a safari for his honeymoon, who
recalls his family safari as a teenager as the best holiday
of his life. And by a couple who have been waiting 10 years
since their safari honeymoon to treat their own children to
a family safari.
We invite you to explore Africa
Countries with us. Our guides are famous for their all day
game drives, knowledge of wildlife, and experts at seeking
out the rare sights of Africa.
Top Destinations
Tanzania
There is no better way than a camping safari to truly experience the African Bush. After the excitement of game viewing all day, you return to your campsite where another adventure begins. It may be gazelles making their way to a favorite watering hole or curious baboons wanting to inspect your tent while all around you the sky is emblazoned with the brilliant colors that make East African sunsets famous. As night falls, the heavens come alive with millions of stars that seem so close, you could almost pluck them from the skies. . full story

Kenya
The highlight of most Kenya safaris is the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve, widely regarded as the best game-viewing park in Kenya. The "Big Five" (lions, leopards, buffaloes, elephants and rhinos) may be spotted here, and more than a million wildebeests and zebras migrate annually to Masai Mara from the parched Serengeti plains of neighboring Tanzania. Some Kenya safaris also visit Masai villages, where guests can interact with local cattle-herders. full story

Namibia is a country of contrasts straddled between two deserts - the Namib along its coastline and the Kalahari in the eastern interior. It is a large country of over 800,000 square kilometres, close in size to Botswana and Zimbabwe added together. Namibia is bigger than France and Great Britain combined, yet the population is only 1.5 million people.
Gorilla Tracking
Famous for mountain Gorilla Tours, Uganda, Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, boasts of not only having more than half of the remaining mountain gorillas in the world but also a great wealthy of natural flora and fauna. Full Story
A gorilla visit can entail anything from a 1 to 4-hour trek through the forest, led by experienced trackers who have spent their entire lives living in or close to the forest. Your trek will be enchanting as you weave through overhanging vines, moss-covered Hagenia trees and giant Lobelias that thrive in the tropical climate. You may spot golden monkeys or see buffalo, bush duiker and a wide variety of bird life. But the high point, of course, one of the greatest wildlife experiences on earth, will be spending an hour with the gentle giant gorillas as they go about their daily life, feeding, playing, resting, raising their young. At the end of your visit you will understand what kept conservationist Dian Fossey living in this same forest for 18 years protecting these wonderful animals.
