What is inside

What the planner covers

What works at four, at eight and at fourteen — plus the drive times, the minimum ages and the packing list nobody gives you.

  • What actually works at each age, from toddler to teenager
  • Minimum ages at camps, and how to get round them
  • The parks that forgive a short attention span
  • Realistic drive times, and why flying is worth it with children
  • Malaria, sun and the health questions to take to your doctor
  • What a child actually does for three hours in a vehicle
  • A family packing list, built around a 15kg soft bag
  • A worksheet to fill in before you enquire

No cost, no obligation. We ask for an email so we can send it and, if you want it, follow up once.

How it works

Three steps, about four minutes

Fill in the form

Dates and budget are optional here — if you only want the guide, name and email are enough.

Read it

It opens in your browser immediately and prints cleanly to PDF if you would rather have a file.

Ask us anything

If you told us your dates, our Kenya specialist follows up within 24 hours with a tailored outline. If you did not, we send the guide and leave you alone.

About the download

Is it really free?

Yes. No payment, no card, no trial. We publish it because people who plan well are better to work with, and because some of them come back to us when they are ready.

Will you spam me?

No. If you give us dates, our specialist sends one tailored follow-up. If you do not, you get the guide and nothing else unless you ask. Every email has an unsubscribe link and we do not sell or share your details.

Do I have to book with you to use it?

No. It is written to be useful even if you plan the whole trip yourself or book elsewhere. It would be a poor advertisement if it were not.
