Travel
and tourism is a social right which concerns every human being . However,
it is estimated that over 500 million disabled people in the world do
not take holidays. For those with some form of disability, many of the
existing tourism offers are not easily accessible. we at victoria safaris
have recognized that disability is not inability to tourism.
Demand
for accessible tourism offers is growing, and the tourism industry is
starting to recognize that tourists with disabilities form an important
consumer group. Victoria Safaris specializes in arranging tours for
the physically impaired, blind and the deaf in the community. We book
our disabled clients in the hotels in kenya which has facilities for
the disabled in society. we avail the use of professional nurses during
the escorted tours of the game parks, Boating on Lake Victoria, Birding,
cultural tours etc. for the physically impaired.
For
the blind, we encourage that they come along with their close family
members and for the married, their spouses on our tours . These can
help in explaining for them the sceneries and offer comfort. Blind Students
should be accompanied by their tutors. The deaf can be provided with
the translators during escorted tours both in the wild and on water.
Please note that these tours are usually tailor made two months before
the tour departure date.
A
safari in Africa is both internal and external and one that overcomes
the inherent disability in the person. More importantly, life takes
on a new meaning, and the safari itself gives pride in accomplishment,
and encourages you to take on new adventures and challenges, thus, helping
to overcome fear. Victoria Safaris have successfully handled adventures
for wheelchair travelers, small groups and slow walkers. Our personally
escorted tours reflect a particular fondness for continued learning
and cultural intrigue. Our experience and commitment to specialty travel
allows us to design travel programs that harmonize unique needs and
individual capabilities. Choose any tour from the special interest or
adventure tours offered, and this will be designed to suit your pace,
special medical needs and care. Be it a trek to the Source of the River
Nile, or an overland Maasai Mara safari, Victoria safaris caters to
special needs for people with special disabilities.

of contribution to world tourism, we at Victoria safaris have developed
itineraries which favour the disabled in society. The disabled of any
nature requires at one particular time in life to be given an opportunity
to visit a different environment from the normally inhabited atmosphere.
With this in mind, we customize tours for individuals who are disabled
in society to visit wildlife game in Maasai Mara, beaches, Lake Victoria
and other tourist sites in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
