SENIOR CITIZEN TOURS

Kenya Travel for Active Baby Boomers

Senior citizens tours in Kenya has been a big part of Ontdek with 70% of our clients falling in the 50 plus category. At our foundation in 1996, we made a deliberate decision to offer our wildlife safaris in the nature–themed format of guided game viewing walks, bird watching holidays and responsible wildlife viewing away from mass tourism.

Travel to Africa is an out-of-comfort-zone experience to many senior travelers. We have complied the information & travel tips below, all gained from our hands-on experience, as well as interactions with active baby boomers who travel with us. We consider them hardy for active senior planning a safari to Kenya or to Africa:

- If ever there is an area of travel where trust is crucial it is with seniors. Do a due diligence on your outfitter for your senior’s safaris. Go on and check the independent reviews of the company, better still if you can get a one-on-one feedback from people who have traveled with them.

- A travel tip on price – while you of course have a budget you want to stick to, let price not be your main yardstick in choosing an operator. Better to pay slightly more and you are sure of quality & provider’s reliability.

- You expect your provider for your senior citizen tour to offer inside info about Kenya + what is safely doable etc. But be on the look out that the provider will not push you to a safari that he thinks suits a 50plus traveler and not one that suit your interests. You don’t have to take an off-the-shelf safari package where you are cooped up in a safari bus all day.

- If taking a group tour – find out the likely composition of the group. Though many senior citizens are young at heart, they still prefer a group with like-minded elder travelers. It might stretch your patience if for 2 weeks you are in a group of 22 year olds.
