Traveling to Africa with Three Generations
Why Tanzania and Kenya are Perfect Family Destinations
As a native of Cologne who has lived in South Africa with my family for years, I have experienced many family trips – but trips with three generations are something very special to me.
WEIGHT & LUGGAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Only soft cases or duffle bags are permitted – without frames or rigid structures. Hard cases do not fit into the small storage space of the aircraft and must be left behind.
Light aircraft (like all aircraft) have a limited load capacity (maximum take-off weight). The weight of the travellers is just as important as the weight of the entire luggage (including hand luggage and camera bags).
I therefore have to ask for your weight at the time of booking and pass it on to the shuttle flight operator in advance for planning the flight and seat occupancy. This also results in a restricted baggage limit (usually 20 kg per person). I can book additional baggage for you in advance. However, the surcharge is often the price of an additional seat.
Why Tanzania & Kenya are Ideal for Multi-generational Travel
Private safari vehicles for maximum flexibility
Comfortable, small lodges with personal service
Safari for every age
Whether the little ones, teenagers, parents, or grandparents – safari works here for everyone. The drives are not strenuous, often relaxed, and the guides explain everything so that everyone can follow. Nature here creates moments that connect generations.
Beach extension as the perfect addition
After days full of exciting wildlife viewing, relaxing by the sea simply feels good. Zanzibar (for Tanzania) or Diani Beach (for Kenya) are dreamlike places to unwind together, swim, or simply let your soul dangle. For children, there are shallow beaches; for grandparents, peace and comfort.
