They learned about Kenyan culture and observed wildlife in a natural setting of such majesty that they’ll never forget it. Every step of the way, the journey, lodgings, and destinations were tailored to ensure that every member of the family would thoroughly enjoy their time in Kenya. Your family will never forget this adventure! Join us for Generations in the Wild: A Family Safari Adventure and give your children an experience they’ll treasure forever.
