The benefits
of family travel



We’ve asked the experts and they all concur, family travel, particularly in nature is one of the most beneficial things a family can do together.

Multigenerational travel allows important opportunities to share and explore family history through storytelling and memory sharing. It is also a wonderful opportunity to share and learn more about the family’s own heritage. Parents and Grandparents see the world through their history and lived experiences, while kids see it through a new life lens.

"This mixing of world views enhances how we see ourselves and how we view the world!” Jean Armstrong - Development Practitioner

What People
Say about
OUR SAFARIS

Fantastic trip all overall! Lodges and hotels were generally perfect for our needs and our budget, activities were great as well, thank you!

Richard Leinberger

Nurture Africa planned the perfect holiday for us. All details were sorted by them and all we had to do was enjoy our fabulous African adventure.

Dear Shem and Angelica, It is so difficult to thank you succinctly for the most fantastic holiday imaginable. We all loved the Africa Tulip. It was a perfect stop over for the family. The children and mums spent hours by the pool swimming and sun bathing, whilst the rest of the adults chilled in the shade. Everyone was wowed by the ambience, attention from the staff, and the wonderful Indian food. Now for the safari, we saw so many animals on the first game drive from Kogatende Airstrip to Nasikia camp that the family were almost overwhelmed before we had even arrived. The next morning proved even more spectacular. A herd of elephants crossed the horizon silhouetted by a magical rising sun. This was followed soon after by pride of lions toying with the remains of a zebra. Thoroughly sated two males and four cubs fed together, more cubs and lioness lolled about, and all bathed in glorious golden early sunlight! I do so hope the photos do it justice. Over the next few days we sighted 6 cheetah, 2 leopards and about 20 lions plus lots more. The children loved watching the crocs and hippos and fell about laughing at the hippos poo-spreading. There was no intention of waiting for a migration crossing however we decided to lunch near the river. Five minutes into our lunch boxes the guides told us to pack the food away as the animals on the far bank were looking unsettled. We drove closer to the crossing point 7B and a few minutes later we took off at break neck speed as the crossing was in full flow. How lucky were we; it was all so exciting! The two guides, Mohammed and Abu, were great with the grandchildren. After four fabulous days in camp they were ready for some down time and beach relaxation, and so to Zanzibar. We were all amazed by White Sands. The children ran around the Presidents suite counting Jacuzzis and plunge pools. The beach and sea were just wonderful and we felt thoroughly spoilt by the staff and hotel facilities. Lovely as it was after four nights Pete and I were ready for more safari. Amboseli was just brilliant with elephants crossing the pan in line, and wallowing in the swamps. We were also treated to an unusual siting of a serval stealing fish from a swamp mongoose. Tortillis camp was a very special place. Not only did we enjoy very exceptional vegetarian food in great surroundings, but we also watched the elephants tramp to the waterhole whilst we were eating! All the staff were superb, and Ali was an exceptional and patient guide. We will forward photos in due course but we just wanted to convey our thanks to you for arranging such a fabulous holiday. It was great to see the African bush afresh through the eyes of the family. It is an experience we so enjoyed sharing and one we will never forget.

Nurture Travel Africa did a great job planning our trip and met all our expectations. Janet and Angelica were very responsive throughout including making some last minute changes to the itinerary. Their suggestions for safari in Botswana and the hot air balloon ride in the Namibian desert were certainly highlights. Thank you, we created memories that will last a lifetime!

Guy Thornewill

The preparation and guidance throughout the entire safari have been 5-star class. I offered this trip to my daughter for her 18th birthday. She was so overwhelmed that she found it unreal.

We booked a safari with Nuture Africa after consulting with Shem Campion of C4 Atelier. We were looking for something that would accommodate my love of photography with his love of nature and both of our love of birds. We were handed over to the capable hands of Minette Van Den Berg, who worked with us to generate an itinerary that would introduce us to several different areas of Kenya while ensuring we would have the trip of a lifetime.We settled on 9 days plus a travel day in Kenya, three in Samburu, three in Laikipia, and three in the north of Masai Mara. We had our reasons for each – elephant watch had been heralded by Shem each of the times he has visited our camera club, Laikipia is known for its leopards and wildlife, and Mara North is similar to the Masai Mara without as many people and vehicles. This was a big investment for us, both in terms of travel (over 25 hours each way) and money, so we wanted to be sure we could bring home enough memories to last a lifetime. I will say, they knocked it out of the park.Prior to the trip, we stayed in email contact with rapid turnaround for any questions we had. The company handled all the arrangements in Kenya, from our landing in Nairobi and hotel transfer to airport and camp transfers on the road. We never had to wait on anyone; everything worked flawlessly. I can’t thank Minette and Shem enough for introducing us to this lovely country and ensuring we had a top-notch experience. As our first guides told us, you never say goodbye in Kenya, you just say “until we see you again.” We can’t wait to see Africa again.
