Amplify your family bonding moments in Africa

When my children all lived in at home, my wife Gwen and I implemented monthly family forums as one way to nurture our nuclear family relationships. Now that our children are all grown up - with full lives, busy schedules, and families of their own; holidays are the best moments to come together, connect, and bond. If you plan it, they will come! 😊

Africa offers spectacular opportunities to amplify holiday bonding moments. Magnificent wildlife and awe-inspiring vistas, tropical islands and superb lodges, gorilla tracking, and conservation immersions.

The time we spend together as a family on our African vacations is priceless, and we can't wait for the next one! So, gather your clan, start planning and let Africa weave her magic into the fabric of your family's story.

Happy holidays!
