Traveling Like The Thornberry’s, A Family Adventure Travel In Africa


In this generation, childhood will be incomplete without being caught unaware about the movie and cartoons The Wild. Hold your breath; this is not a promo ad for the movie. It is just that most of the kids now are really dreaming of sharing the same experience with the Thornberry’s. Who will not envy the Safari experience that the Thornberry kids had? However, for those moms and dads who want to grant their kids’ wish, here is a guide on how you can have a family adventure travel. Actually, it is not just an ordinary family travel but also a family adventure travel with the touch of a Safari experience!

There is no other place that could be equated to the Safari experience that Africa could offer. If you and your kids are really looking for a family travel that is worth keeping, go and start reserving for a flight in Africa now.

Topping the list of “musts” is a Safari experience on the open parks. Let your kids touch and feed those tamed animals. Let them walk along the grasslands especially of the Ngorongoro Crater where luscious plants are scattered around. Let them experience Safari adventure and discover for themselves the beauty of nature. Nairobi National Park and Karen Blixen's are some of the places that provide experience and highlight your family adventure travel. Take note that these two parks are found in the heart of a city.

Instead of booking and reserving rooms in exclusive deluxe hotels, try to lodge in the ecolodges where ecofriendly services are provided. Most of these ecolodges are allowing camping and mounting tents. Aside from the wonderful sleeping set up, try the fresh foods that they are serving. Fruits and vegetables are freshly picked to provide the healthiest possible ways to each visitor.

Your adventure travel will not be complete if you will not travel like the Thornberry’s way! Tour your family around Africa, have Safari experience by using trailblazing land rovers. However, if your family really craves for a real family adventure travel, try camelback riding or horseback riding. If you are still unsatisfied, use hot air balloon so you will have a clear panoramic view of the land.

Asking for the perfect time for the whole vacation? Worry no more, daytime or nighttime, travel in Africa will still be as exciting as you wished because even at night, nocturnal animals are musts to spot!

To finally complete your family travel in Africa, have a book on indigenous communities. Dwell on their place. See and feel their culture.

To experience all these adventure, you can actually choose from the two ways of booking a trip – planning and setting your adventure itinerary by yourself or let an agency do all the chores.

Do not worry about the budget because family packages are available. Better book and reserved now and like the Thornberry’s, you will surely have a great family adventure travel and Safari Experience.
