Bonamy Travel

25/06/2025

Planning a safari with your wider family can be a real challenge. But, trust us when we tell you that it's well worth it, and that it'll result in some of the best 'quality time' you will ever spend together.

This week, we're sharing three sample itineraries to spark your imagination, for you to think about how a multi-generation safari might work for you. These aren't set packages; every Bonamy journey is designed from scratch. These examples will give you a sense of how the adventure might flow, and how we turn great trips into lifelong memories.

Planning a family safari that spans generations can be a challenge - but it’s also one of the most rewarding journeys you’ll ever take. Fully tailored adventures that balance privacy, comfort, and unforgettable experiences for all ages.

We’re seeing more and more families come to us wanting to plan safaris that include everyone, from the youngest kids to the oldest grandparents. And it makes perfect sense.

A multi-generational safari is about much more than wildlife. It’s about slowing down together. Sharing firsts. Swapping stories. Watching the children learn from their elders, and vice versa. These are trips where kids forget their screens, adults truly relax, and everyone walks away with a deeper connection to each other and the world around them.

We’ve written a short guide to help you think through how to make these trips work beautifully. From pacing to private guides, here’s what matters most.

There are few travel experiences as rewarding as going on safari with your family. Whether it’s grandparents and grandchildren, siblings and cousins, or a mix of personalities, a multi-generational safari becomes part of your family’s shared story.

If you love elephants, this will break your heart and inspire you.

Zimbabwe’s giants are dying slow invisible deaths caused by our waste. But Ele-Collection offers a solution, which Bonamy is fully backing.

There’s one moment on safari you never forget.
Not the sundowners, not the sunsets—though those are incredible too.
It’s the moment you lock eyes with a predator in the wild.

One of our repeat guests, Janis, said it best:
“I felt exposed beneath that steady gaze—like I’d stepped into his world, just for a moment.”

That feeling? That pulse in your chest?
That’s what keeps bringing people back to Africa again and again.

We don’t just take you to the wild.
We take you to that moment—the one that stays with you.

If you’re after something a little different - wilder, greener, closer to the ocean - you’ll find it at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve.

Here you can:

• Ride horses across flower-dotted valleys

• Watch whales breach just offshore

• Explore secret caves and ancient forests

• Enjoy a 4x4 botanical safari through one of the world’s most biodiverse regions

• Fat bike across wild beaches and dunes

Or, just take it slow and relax by the pool while you soak up the incredible views.

All while knowing your stay is helping to protect this rare corner of the world, supporting conservation, reforestation, and local communities.

Big adventure. Big impact. And one of the most beautiful places in South Africa to experience it all!

We love what we do, but hearing just how much a trip meant to someone is by far the best part.

Here’s what our wonderful clients had to say about their time away with us:

“Team Bonamy was exceptional in every way - from the first planning call to the moment we returned home.

Our trip (safari in South Africa followed by a beach holiday in Mauritius) had a few last-minute changes due to unexpected life events, and they were so understanding and flexible throughout.

They provided an incredible range of personalised options - each very carefully chosen to suit our budget and preferences.

We were spoilt for choice, and Toby was always available to help us make decisions and open doors to experiences we would never have found ourselves.

The holiday was perfect and the safari was truly spectacular - with every possible surprise, experience and unforgettable moment imaginable, as well as the most wonderful team!

We were completely blown away and would recommend Toby and his team without hesitation.”

Whether it’s your first safari or one of many, we’re here to make it personal, seamless, and absolutely magical. Get in touch!

This is where silence has sound.

At Kwessi Dunes, everything slows down in the best possible way. The sky feels endless. The desert stretches as far as the eye can see. And suddenly, all the noise in your head disappears.

Spend your days climbing ancient dunes, floating over the Namib in a hot air balloon, and quad biking across wide, golden nothingness with only the occasional oryx for company.

Then, fall asleep in a cosy bed under a sky so full of stars it hardly feels real. 🌌

You don’t just visit a place like this - you feel it. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll want to come back before you’ve even left.

You know that feeling when someone just gets it?

That’s what we aim for—every time.

The lodge that feels like it was made for you.
The perfect amount of downtime between game drives.
The little surprise that shows up just when you need it most.

We know that travelling in the African wilderness can feel a little… well, wild.

But when you travel with us, you’ll never feel lost in it.

From first chat to final flight home and beyond, we’ve got you.

We plan every trip with the same care and attention we’d want for our own.

When you’re ready, we’re here to help you create your journey of a lifetime. Just pop us a message!

Kenya just as it should be - epic safaris, extraordinary landscapes, and a few blissful days by the beach:

“We have used travel companies before but none that meet the level of care that Bonamy showed.

From the first call, they really took the time to understand what we wanted - asking about past trips, what we loved, and why.

We have just returned from our 2 weeks in Kenya where we had 3 parts to the trip, two safari camps and finishing with a beautiful few days relaxing at a beach resort and we couldn’t be more pleased.

Every aspect of the trip was fantastic. The camps and resorts exceeded our expectations and every detail was thought through.

Even while we were away, knowing Bonamy was there if we needed them meant we could just relax and enjoy.

We will be back!” - Client Testimonial

There’s nothing better than knowing how much a trip meant to our clients! Helping you experience Africa in a way that feels effortless and deeply personal is what we love most. 🌍
