5Continents Returns from “Unforgettable” FAM Trip to Kenya

by Bruce Parkinson  May 28, 2025
5Continents Returns from “Unforgettable” FAM Trip to Kenya

The 5Continents Kenya fam group.

5Continents recently hosted a  FAM trip to Kenya, offering 10 travel advisors a firsthand encounter with one of Africa’s most vibrant and inspiring destinations. 

The trip was escorted by Sabrina Greca, Director of Business Development and Marketing, and operated in collaboration with Twiga Tours, 5Continents’ trusted on-location partner.

“From the moment the group landed, Kenya opened its arms and its wild heart,” Greca said. 

“Agents experienced daily safaris, breathtaking animal encounters, and rich cultural immersion, all while enjoying the service and thoughtful attention to details 5Continents is known for.”

Highlights included:

  • Feeding giraffes at the iconic Giraffe Centre.
  • A moving visit to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where several participants chose to adopt an orphaned elephant.
  • An awe-inspiring hot-air balloon safari over the Masai Mara at sunrise.
  • Visits to local Maasai villages, offering insight into traditional customs and way of life.
  • Countless wildlife sightings, from lions and elephants to rhinos, zebras, and cheetahs.
  • Hosted dinner at Twiga tours’ owners private home, adding a wonderful human dimension to the trip.

“This wasn’t just a trip — it was a sensory journey,” added Greca. “From the sounds of the savannah to the warmth of the Kenyan people, every detail was infused with meaning and magic. Our long time partners and friends at Twiga Tours delivered an experience that was both seamless and deeply moving.”

Camille Wilson of the The Travel Agent Next Door, participated in the fam as part of her first visit to Africa. 

“This first-hand experience has a part of my heart. Not sure how I will top this. From each and every day witnessing the majestic wildlife in full action, feeding giraffes, falling in love with 4-year-old Weka… a joyful, full of attitude toddler elephant who I am proudly sponsoring for life.

I can’t wait to return with my family, (and the trip) has allowed me to speak more intelligently on Kenya to my clients.

Linda Dennis, another TTAND advisor, had this to say about the trip: 

“Honestly, a Kenya safari was never something I thought I’d do — until this opportunity popped up in my inbox. Discovering how 5 Continents crafts their safari experiences sparked my excitement, especially knowing that as part of a FAM trip, some unforgettable surprises awaited us.

“From the moment Twiga Tours, the local partner, welcomed us like family, to our guides who amazed us daily with their deep knowledge and passion for the safari and their homeland — every moment was truly inspiring and indeed magical.”
