Grand Family Safari

My understanding is that the adults will receive a duffel bag which is to be used as their "suitcase" And they will bring a soft sided carry on weighting no more than 15 pounds. The kids will receive a back pack....is the back pack for their clothes or is that to be used as their carry on and they should bring another duffel type bag for clothes. Do any of the hotels provide laundry...ok if you have to pay

I have no idea where that wine menu came from!

I’ll let you know Alan. I think I want my grandkids to just be 👀 out of the top, less chance of them falling out!
I spotted you in the photo

Perfect photo of the basket on it’s side Sue!

You will notice in my photo above, that part of the basket bottom and one side have metal straps. They are skids for landing- it is not unusual for the basket to land upright but then get pulled over on its side and even dragged a little before the balloon fully deflates if there is any wind. During the flight the pilot will rotate the basket so both front and back have an opportunity to face in the direction of flight. He will rotate it again before landing so the metal skids are on the side facing the direction of travel.

With respect to my earlier question, I believe each cubicle has a bench, so you launch in what would a seated position of a chair on its back, so your upper body doesn't stick up too far. See CASueK's photo.

We are taking the Bridges Grand Safari to Tanzania on July 15, 2026 with our daughter’s family and their sons, 13 and almost 11.
We will be visiting an African school. Did you bring gifts for the students and if so, what?

Yes, I took crayons, colorful markers, and pencils. This will be a memorable experience for your grandchildren.

They will probably cry happy tears at the farewell dinner at the very end of your vacation because this kind of experience will leave an indelible impression on them. When you’re flying back home, they’ll ask you, where are we all going next year”. That’s what my daughter did on Tauck’s family K&T trip 25 years ago. She was 7 then and still speaks about that trip. In fact, one of the local guides carved her a walking stick which she still has to this day.
