Good afternoon,
I am in the initial stages of looking into a family vacation for March-April 2022.
I am hoping some of the sponsors here can help me out in the planning process as it is a little different than what I am used to planning.
It all started with my mother in law telling me she wants to see Africa with my father in law. They are not hunters but definitely not against it. She also loves cruising, so she was going to book a cruise up the coast. Looking at the stops and itinerary I am not sure she would really get to see the true Africa that I love. I mentioned that maybe a better plan would be to join my family (wife and 2 kids will be ages 9 and 6) on a hunt/excursion vacation for 7-10 days and then go on her cruise afterword.
She loved the idea of staying in a hunting camp and doing tours of areas like Kruger, Victoria Falls, local schools to deliver supplies etc.
Ideally would be in a modern tent camp with amenities (as I would love to experience this myself) but not against a lodge. Would like the group to go on different tours every other day or so while I hunt with 1 or both of my kids. Animal list is really irrelevant to me and would be secondary to the sight seeing. More importantly is having the in laws experience Africa the way I love to see it.
Would be a total of 4 adults (1 hunting) and 2 kids (1 hunting ages 9 and 6)
Can anyone give me some ideas as to whether this is a possibility or just a wild dream?
If any sponsors of the site offer these types of trips or can provide any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Please pm me with options along with estimated costs, as with all of my plans the budget will likely impact most of the decisions I make.
Look forward to hearing the suggestions and feedback.
Thanks in advance.
