We’ve been operating The Family Traveler for more than two decades.  One of our favorite types of trips to book is honeymoons for the children that grew up with our trip planning.  A new generation making their way in the world.  We had such an opportunity with the Berman Family from Bala Cynwyd, PA with a memorable trip to Kenya.  After their Thanksgiving weekend nuptials, they set off for a 10-night safari experience through various parts of Kenya to take advantage of the diverse topography, lodging styles, and local culture.  The honeymoon started with a highlight stay at the famous Giraffe Manor located in the suburbs of Nairobi.  An ideal place to decompress from the long trip with flights through Germany.  They said their Giraffe Manor experience was unreal where they fed the resident Rothschild giraffes in the morning and evening while cozying up in the British Colonial-style manor home.  They loved chatting with the locals who worked there about the country’s culture and lifestyle; a great introduction to their stay.  They were then driven to the Loldia House in the Great Rift Valley near Lake Nakuru where they spent time animal viewing and had a lovely picnic by the lake.  The next stop was flying to the picturesque Solio Lodge for more animal viewing by jeep and on foot along with horseback riding.  This famed lodge set in a valley between the slopes of Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Mountains is also a private rhino breeding sanctuary.  A trip highlight was eating breakfast in the bush with the rhinos just a few feet away!  They said it was truly incredible.  Their last stop flew them to the Massai Mara for a tented stay at Angama Mara where animals were in abundance including elephants, lions (they saw a pride of more than a dozen), zebra, buffalo, wildebeest, cheetahs, and they even spotted an elusive leopard which they said was very exciting! Here they also took an early morning hot air balloon safari and saw hippos and giraffes from above.  A private guide showed them a bit of Nairobi before the journey home.  They let us know that the tour guides and staff at each place they stayed and each safari they went on were so incredibly genuine.  They couldn’t get enough of watching animals in the wild.  The Bermans also fell in love with the culture and learned everything they could about the beauty found in nature! In addition, they continue to be in contact with so many other wonderful travelers and honeymooners they met along the way.
