Plan Your Perfect Family Safari Together
Your Family. Your Adventure.
Thanksgiving is the perfect time to plan your safari with your family. Imagine the scene: a festive Thanksgiving table laden with turkey, stuffing, and all the fixings. Instead of the usual football game discussions, why not steer the conversation towards something different this year: a safari planning session.
The Benefits Of Family Safari Planning
Shared Excitement: Planning together can create a sense of unity and anticipation. Plus, it's a great way to keep the conversation flowing at Thanksgiving dinner.
Personalized Experience: Tailoring your safari to everyone's interests ensures everyone feels included.
Educational Opportunities: The world is your classroom. It's like a real-life geography lesson without boring lectures. Your research may even spark a lifelong interest in nature and conservation.
Develop Problem-Solving Skills: Collaborating on decisions can help develop problem-solving and teamwork skills. Just researching international flight options can be a challenge, but it's a great way to prepare your kids to be a world traveler.
Strengthen Family Bonds: Shared experiences can strengthen family bonds and create lasting memories that will be cherished for years to come.
Cultural Awareness: Safaris are not just about the animals; they’re also about connecting with local communities. Planning together gives your family a chance to appreciate different cultures and learn that not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving with mashed potatoes.

Ways to get your family involved:
Family Brainstorming Sessions: Have a casual meeting to discuss everyone's expectations and interests. Just make sure to keep the snacks flowing!
Research Together: Explore different countries and their unique offerings. It's like a virtual vacation before the real one.
Assign Tasks: Divide and conquer! If your kids are animal fanatics, let them research wildlife. If they prefer thrills, let them scope out hot air balloon rides—because who wouldn’t want to see giraffes from the sky?
Make it Educational and Inclusive: Tailor the planning process to the age and interests of your children. For younger kids, focus on fun activities like animal identification and a map to learn Africa's geography. For older kids, incorporate educational opportunities to research and plan using the best international flights and destinations.
Let a Seasoned Safari Expert Help: Gather all the details and bring them to a safari expert for the final touches. You don't want to leave anything to chance when it comes to planning a safari.
