Every trip is different. But here are three that might just get you dreaming…

Planning a multi-generational trip can feel like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Different ages, different interests, different needs, all under one travel umbrella. But when it works, it really works. We’ve seen it firsthand. Grandparents sharing stories they haven’t told in years. Kids ditching their screens and diving into nature. Parents finally taking a moment to breathe.

In our previous piece, we shared some of the guiding principles we use when designing these kinds of journeys. Choosing the right base camp, keeping the group connected but not cramped, and adding those little moments that make it all feel magical.

This time, we’re sharing three possible itineraries to help inspire your own adventure.

These aren’t templates, and they’re definitely not packages. Every Bonamy trip is entirely tailored to you. But these combinations show how the rhythm of a trip can flow, and how exclusive-use villas, private safari homes, or even just taking over a small camp can transform a trip into something unforgettable.

We often aim for exclusive use on safari, giving families privacy and flexibility. But that doesn’t mean you’re limited to private-use-only properties. Many of the small, characterful camps we work with can be taken over completely, giving you that same freedom and intimacy. And at the end of a trip, it can be refreshing to land somewhere a little more social. A place with a mix of people and kids, where parents can relax while the younger ones run off to play.

Here are three combinations we love:

1. High-End Kenya: Raw Beauty, Serious Style

This is Kenyan luxury at its best. Start in the highlands at Arijiju, one of Africa’s most exclusive homes. Then head to Wild Hill in the heart of the Mara for private safari magic. Finish with your toes in the sand at Alfajiri, with views of the Indian Ocean and space to spread out.

2. Southern Africa: Culture, Wildlife and Coast

Kick things off in Cape Town at the iconic Mount Nelson, with its pink walls and mountain views. Then head to Londolozi’s Founders Camp for one of the most family-friendly big-five safaris around. End on Mozambique’s lush coastline, with full villa living at Colina Verde.

3. Laid-back Africa with Heart

For families who want something a little slower, but no less special. Begin in Livingstone with a homey base at Waterberry Farmhouse. Then journey deep into Zambia’s Lower Zambezi with time on Chula Island. From there, head north to Luangwa House for a bold and beautiful private safari in the South Luangwa National Park. Finish with barefoot island luxury at Kaya Mawa on Lake Malawi.

These are just three ideas. The options really are endless. If you’re starting to think a trip like this could be for your family, we’d love to chat and start shaping something that works just right for you.
