Fam Trips

Fam Trips


We have a reputation for providing sensibly-paced, well-planned and highly cost-effective trips that give you an opportunity to experience our partner’s properties and operations, with hopefully a few laughs along the way. Whilst we can’t guarantee any specifics, we do try to visit locally competing lodges and camps, to allow you to compare and contrast.

WYW: WHEN YOU WANT
We all know what it’s like, there’s a fam trip going to that lodge, or destination you’ve always wanted to visit, but you can’t get out of the office when it’s running. Well, with our new WYW fam trip approach, we’re hoping to help by providing more individually tailored fam trips, meaning we work around you. We’ll try and put you together with other operators to keep costs down. Equally, we are happy to arrange stays at individual lodges if you are organising your own trip.  Just let us know where you want to go and we’ll do all we can to help.

REGISTER INTEREST
By registering your interest, you are advising us that you are keen and available to particpate in the trip, want to reserve a place and want more information as soon as it is available. It also ensures you get first option on trips (and remember places are extremely limited). All prices are subject to change, in circumstances beyond Kamili’s control.

For more information on any of these trips or for a WYW trip, please contact info@kamilisafaris.com or call 01664 823750.

N.B. Prices shown are, in the main, the current GBP equivalent, which has been provided in the main currency of the specific country. So cost at time of payment may vary slightly.

2016
Itineraries and planned trips

Kamili is scheduling an extensive programme of fam trips throughout 2016, with the opportunity to visit all of our partners across 11 countries.

We have suggested some dates for these trips, but if these do not suit you, we will look into arranging something else at a time you would prefer.

During our fam trips, we also give you the opportunity, wherever possible, to compare and contrast by visiting other competitor properties in the area.
