We make the itinerary and offer you the best accommodation to suit your requirements and suit all age groups. We understand the importance of attending to the requirements of children and hence offer you resorts which have a kid friendly atmosphere and amenities. It is our belief that children too need exposure to the various cultures and lifestyles of different parts of the world, which gives them the knowledge and experience about the diversity in the world and that in turn shapes them to be friendly global citizens. The hotels we tie up with have the most cordial staff and crew who take care of our guests with utmost hospitality and give genuine importance to family atmosphere. We will ensure your family gets the opportunity to interact with the people of Kenya, understand their culture and life, and play with the local children. We are associated with hotels that exclusively offer family friendly amenities like play area, swimming pools with lifeguards, babysitting services, green lawns for kids to play, and uninterrupted internet services for our guests to connect with their family, friends, colleagues, etc, back home. While we offer luxury accommodation, we will also choose the best properties in case you are looking at a budget tour, where no compromises in the quality or safety is made.

LESS TRAVEL COST FOR CHILDREN

We believe quality family time is valuable and as much as adults need, children also need to visit places, meet people, and explore the world in their own way. We love kids, and would love to travel with kids and make them grab an awesome experience and make wonderful memories that they can feel excited about and cherish in their future. With the intention of encouraging good family time vacation, Magicarpet Wildlife Travels Ltd has an added attractive feature, offering remarkably lesser prices for children. We negotiate lower rates for children between six and ten years of age. Additionally, the young ones get separate beds in your rooms and facilities to make them feel special. This saves you from packing much stuff for your kids. Subject to the season of travel, we offer half of the adult travel rates for the younger ones.

TRAVEL IN SMALL GROUPS

We understand that the quality travel time for few people is by travelling with their loved ones and known people and in limited numbers. They get the most satisfying experience and pleasant time being with their own people and it helps them connect better during the tour than the busy life schedules back home. We therefore offer group family tour packages. Not to forget, lesser the better. Travel gets much easier and fun when in small groups. If required, we limit the number of travelers in the group to not more than ten to twelve at a time. And we will not mix two different groups in one tour. This helps us connect better with individuals, give utmost attention and care, and establish a friendly bond with our travelers. It also helps us obtain the best accommodations and quality service and organize better short trips within the main tour for all the people in the group.

WE VALUE YOUR CHOICES

Magicarpet Wildlife Travels Ltd has always been encouraging family safari holidays. As is the case in any group, a family has many people involved and they have their individual priorities. We know that and value that. Unlike other tour operators, we do not speak to just one person over the phone and discuss the travel. We have a family discussion time right from knowing your individual preferences and finalizing your package to taking care of you during the entire tour as you wished. We believe in connecting in a much closer way with our travelers about planning their tours and communicating. We listen to your requirements, offer and suggest what suits you, know your final choices, and help you finalize the desired Kenya family vacation to make it comfortable and pleasing to you and your family, more importantly your children. Personal level of communication makes a great impact on children and helps us know them and create a friendly bond with them. Overall, we will plan the itinerary and tour in such a way, that everybody is happy at the end of the day.

INDULGE IN THE EXOTIC KENYAN CUISINE

Food is one of the greatest temptations while on travel. Trying different cuisines, tasting the wonderful dishes of another land and culture is definitely a treat to your taste buds. Kenyan cuisine has its own authentic touch. The traditional food of Kenya is as mixed and diverse as its tribes, wildlife and landscapes. Each tribal area as its own specialties, but there are some common Kenyan specialties that are offered allover Kenya. We choose the hotel that offers various type of cuisine, from Continental, Indian, Chinese and the local Kenyan. However, we tell you the must-try food in Kenya. As tea and coffee is grown in Kenya these are the favored beverages across the country. In the more rural areas you will find maziwa lala, which is a fermented milk, it is easily digested by someone that is lactose intolerant. You must not miss the brewed Chai and coffee. Street foods are popular in and around the markets, which are found all over the country. The more popular street foods are Mishkaki (small skewered meat pieces BBQ’d on an open fire); corn on the cob charred on the open fire still in their husks; Samosas, a dish showing India’s influence on the country, and of course hot chips usually covered in glowing sauces like chili and tomato sauce, and whatever herb may be available at the time. For natural sweets Kenyan’s enjoy “mabuyu”, which is the seed of the Baobab coated in red sugar syrup. The main staples of Kenyan cuisine are: Maize meal (called Ugali when cooked and unga when raw) and rice. Rice can be served in so many different ways, but usually it is plain boiled rice. Kenya grows some amazing tasting fruits, plump mangoes, oranges, tree tomatoes, bananas, plums, grapes and passion fruit to name a few. So for dessert, fresh fruit is often the main choice. The most liked items by travelers are mahamri (fried dough), Pilau, Biryani, fermented porridge, and the soft chapatti (flatbread). Then of course there is “nyama choma,” which translates as burned meat, but is a flavorsome Swahili barbeque, which you can relish along with the local people of Kenya. Hopefully, this has whet your appetite to go there and try some for yourself. Our tour guide will give you the information to suit your food preference and will take you to food joints which reflect Kenyan culture and they let you mingle with the local Kenyan people at those places you visit. And we also will plan some local music and dance during one of the dinners, so you get that complete authentic touch to your trip.

EXPLORE KENYA WITH THE LOCALS

Kenya is an undoubtedly gorgeous African country. Many dream of the tropical weather, white sandy beaches and lazy afternoons out in the sun enjoying a cold beer and looking out into an amazing landscape. These are some of the best things that can be found in Kenya. With lush plains, awe-inspiring mountain ranges, impossibly beautiful weather, a coastal region that rivals the Caribbean and gracious people to boot, Kenya will simply blow your mind. Narobi, Kenya’s capital is one of the most developed cities on the continent when it comes to infrastructure. The roads could be better, the housing is superb and the city is a 24/7 business hub that has something for everyone. There is a reason as to why Kenya is the unofficial ‘African Safari Central’. We have it all, from the Big Five to lesser creatures that can only be found in this part of the world. The best part is that with our beautifully formulated safari packages, you can actual see these animals in their natural habitat. You can even touch, feed and ride them if you know where to go. From balloon safaris that will give you the most gorgeous bird’s eye view of the plains and actual game drives that will bring you so close to the wildlife that the hair on the back of your neck will stand, Kenyan safaris will simply have you screaming your heart out. In the Maasai Mara, you can take a breathtaking balloon ride over the most beautiful, wildlife riddled landscape in Africa. Kenya is highly proud of its gorgeous camping sites. Not only will you enjoy a cool evening in the African bush, but you will also get to sit back, sojourn with nature and actually count the stars. The lodges are exceptionally beautiful and luxuriously decorated. They are also situated in the most ‘Safari-centric’ locations in the country. Some of us are just not built for the wild, and that is perfectly fine. For these people, Kenya has an assortment of gorgeous 5-star hotels that will be your home away from home. You can pamper yourself at the spa or just enjoy a lazy dip in the pool, or still best, put your feet up and read your favourite book while sipping a chilled beer or a hot coffee. The Great Wildebeest Migration which takes place between Serengeti in Tanzania and Masai Mara in Kenya has been named one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is a delight and hard to imagine two million animals moving from one national park to another. This is a sight to behold and where else can you see this other than in the Masai Mara? You are in Kenya to see the exotic wildlife that strives here. Zebras, gazelles, cheetahs, lions and a host of other wild animals indigenous to this part of the continent can all be found in the beautiful plains. Do not forget to bring your camera and go wild, literally.

Weather is the very first thing to consider while planning a travel. Kenya has a beautiful tropical weather with long sun filled days and amazing starlit nights and just enough rain to make it pleasant for you to enjoy your stay in the country. Since Kenya is situated on the equator, there are no extreme temperatures, and through the year the weather is quite pleasant. Africans are a generally friendly people and Kenyans embody this culture to the fullest. Their sense of hospitality is unmatchable and every request will be met with a smile and beautiful grace (remember to tip). Kenyans are extremely fond of foreigners. Kenya has around forty odd distinct ethnic groups and this makes for an interesting blend of people. You will find Kenyans speak Swahili and English only, so communication is never a problem while you tour Kenya. Magicarpet Wildlife Travels Ltd is a team of friendly, professional local guides who are born and raised in Kenya, and we will show you our birthplace, its wildlife and nature, culture, local people, and cuisine, with pride and better than anyone else. And when you travel with us, it’s a different experience.

LUXURIOUS TENTED CAMPS AT MAASAI MARA

For those of you who are adventurous, we can suggest tented camps for your stay. A luxurious tent in the middle of the forest, along the banks of the Mara River, is one magical setting. The tent system was a setting that was reserved a century ago for Kenya’s colonial governors. It is a dream-come-true experience to stay in the forest even for some time along the river bank with water flowing on the side and amidst the moving birds, hippo, and crocodile. The entire camp is under canvas with all of the comforts of a luxury hotel. The tents line the riverbank, tucked into the forest and they enjoy uninterrupted views over the Mara River. Others have views across the sweeping plains of the Masai Mara. The tents are big, bright and allow in lots of natural light. All tents are classic safari style. There is a bar tent with deck overlooking the Mara River and dinning tent with views over the plains. Some tents even have a spa so make sure you get facials and massages in the forest along the river bank. What is extraordinary with us is that most of our tents are unfenced so you can easily spot an animal, for example a lion or elephant, pass by. That does not call for any worry at all as we have guards right there to watch the surroundings and protect you. All you need to do is unwind, relax, and enjoy your time and make the best of your “tent-time.”
