"A professional guide can give a personal touch to a safari experience that enables you to truly connect with the surrounding environment... Kennedy Omwenga, our Micato Safari director, vastly improved every aspect of the journey. He was a Maasai elder... and brought his deeply rooted understanding of Kenyan wildlife and culture everywhere we went. He formed such a special bond with my sons that by the end of the trip, they were calling him rafiki, or friend, in Swahili."
"Since I knew my three tween and teen boys would prefer longer stays at fewer places, we booked only three stays. The longer stints helped us feel more at home in each location... At our first stay, Hemingways Nairobi, we enjoyed the gorgeous grounds and swimming pool before visiting the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a marvelous sanctuary where orphaned baby elephants are raised and later reintroduced to the wild."
"The most memorable wildlife experiences occurred while we were on the grounds of ol Donyo Lodge, where we spied cheetahs and elephants - forcing my sons to forget all about their iPads. They instead took guided mountain-bike rides and practiced using traditional African slingshots, given to them by the staff."
