African Family Safari Trip Planning Over the Holidays

African Safari Trip Planning During Thanksgiving Dinner, – Nov. 8, 2013, Bushtracks Expeditions, Healdsburg, CA

When carving out the best family vacation to Africa, there are a myriad of things to consider. With the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday quickly approaching on Thursday, November 28, many travel companies like us are bracing for the peak travel seasons. The trend our travel planning experts at Bushtracks Expeditions have observed is that our African Safari aficionados tend to travel to Africa, and other destinations, less often during the major holidays like Thanksgiving, Hanukah, and Christmas. Instead, our travelers find the Thanksgiving dinner table is the ideal setting to plan and discuss their next family vacation.

The Perfect Recipe for a Family Safari Vacation

One recipe for cooking up a successful family vacation to Africa is to set aside dedicated time during and after the dinner to brainstorm. The critical points may start with the essentials first: timing of the trip, length of vacation, desired destinations, regions, activities and more. After the basics are covered during this family vacation planning chat, detailed topics such as budgets, specific safari camps and lodges will need to be fleshed out before booking your once in a lifetime trip!
