The
family adventures into africa take in relaxed, gentler adventures, where
the safari is an entire learning experience. Walking in the hills, visiting
game parks, the excitement of a safari through coffee and tea plantations,
following wildlife trails, experiencing heritage villages reviving ancient
cultural arts & crafts.All experiences aid in a special bonding,
making the travel experience a memory cherished by the family forever.Special
care is taken in designing the tour by keeping in mind the needs of
the parents and children alike. Victoria safaris takes into account
the age group, physical fitness and details of health and safety. If
on an activity tour, we would provide equipment for children sizes and
additional staff would accompany the family along the safari, keeping
a higher ratio, thus ensuring safety and minimising risk and interpreting
and understanding the local culture and nature effectively.
Victoria
Safaris has several itineraries suitable for your family's visit to
East Africa-kenya,Uganda and Tanzania.our family tourism adventures
are quite adverse;They include Family Accommodations,Family Tours and
Family Safaris;
Family
Accommodation
When it comes to family travel you want to open your kids’ eyes
to new cultures and ideas by taking them to different countries and
destinations.You can stay with you family in Luxarious Hotels,Lodges
and Camps. But if you won’t compromise their safety by staying
in hotels,lodges or camps in unsafe parts of town—and your budget
is limited. Relax. Victoria Safaris has several alternatives as to how
the best family travel is usually the least expensive. For instance;
 |
Family
Homestays
Victoria safaris wil arrange for your family to stay in a home whether
you want to stay in the city ,beach or in the rural village areas around
lake victoria or any where you may wish your family to stay at.Homestays
is ideal for families. Instead of paying a few hundred dollars each
night for cramped hotel rooms,we will arrange your family stay in a
roomy house that may well come with bikes, toys, and even a car—while
your hosts are house-sitting for you and watching over your property.
Homestays also offers great opportunities for meeting the neighbors.
Family Budget Camping
In Africa, camping usually means crowding into a small tent in the rain,
swatting mosquitoes, and cooking over a fire somewhere off in the woods.In
kenya, victoria safaris will arrange for your Budget camping in the
game parks,wildlife sanctuaries by setting up a tent and providing a
cook for your family or alternatively stay in a lodge on a budget safari.
You will be given family attention and security all the way.With Victoria
Safaris, you can rent a 2- or 3-bedroom tent or bungalow, complete with
kitchen facilities, and relax while your kids explore the playground
within the campsite. We Prefer Lodge safari than to camping for family
tours because of the kids.
Family
Home Rentals
You can rent a home with the help of victoria safaris for the period
you will be in East Africa-Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. It’s still
cheaper and roomier than a hotel, and if you enquire directly to us
for your chosen location, you’ll save a bundle over renting through
a "Real Estate agency.” In our experience, direct rentals
can often cost as little as $250-$400 per week.
Youth Hostels
East Africa,Youth hostels have public lounges and kitchens where guests
can gather and mingle. Yet you don’t have to stay in dormitories,
listening to the snores of strangers and worrying about your kids. Most
hostels now offer family rooms for four to six people, so you can save
money over hotels and meet plenty of fellow wanderers.

Family
Cottages
Family cottages come handy for those who want to maintain family life
while travelling. You will rent a family cottage with all the facilities
as the ones you have in your home .These include; living rooms,beds
and linen,kitchen equipment and Fridges,T.V,sofa sets and any other
items you will require.You will buy your foods from the many supermarkets
in the country and make your traditional meals as you require.Just as
you make meals at home. Provision of a cook is optional at an extra
cost.You will have a tour van and driver for your tours and travels.
Family Off-Season Travel
You’ll save a bundle by avoiding high season travel periods and
you’ll get to interact with more locals instead of mixing with
others from other countries of the world rather than the locals. The
Hotels, Game Parks and Beaches won’t be crowded and you won’t
be waiting for services in the dining halls.
Family
