Sky’s the Limit: 2023 Travel Trends

The 2023 travel trends are out and a holiday with SkySafari is right in line with experts’ predictions

Travel advisors and editors have reported their predicted travel trends for 2023 in top publications including Conde Nast Traveller (US & UK), Washington Post and Forbes. Coincidently, SkySafari offers many of the options that travellers are looking for on holiday.

This year, connecting with local communities, transformative travel, ethical travel, educational itineraries, and sustainability are all major factors which travellers are considering when they book their trip. SkySafari ensures guests will experience all of these and more whilst on an 8-day or 10-day programme in Kenya or Tanzania or the 13-day programme in East Africa, thanks to activities such as visits to local Maasai villages and community schools, meeting with anti-poaching sniffer dogs units in Lewa and Loisaba, fully immersing guests in wildlife and showing how conservation efforts help to protect these ecosystems. A journey with SkySafari gives back to communities through conservation programs via Land & Life Foundation, Loisaba Conservancy and Randilen WMA.

Thanks to SkySafari’s all-inclusive itineraries, another major travel trend for 2023, guests will stay at Elewana Collection properties during their safari with full board status which includes local culinary options for meals, including bush breakfasts and stunning sundowners in the open savannah. Local culture and active excursions are also part of the all-inclusive experience with activities like bush walks, mountain biking (including new e-bikes), and night game drives.

SkySafari is also on trend with family-friendly travel and multigenerational travel, allowing guests to book a private plane for up to 8 pax, ensuring an intimate trip with their closest loved ones. For those looking to book Kenya in 2023, there are even options for a free upgrade to full buyout for bookings of minimum 4 pax, depending on dates of travel.

Experts have also highlighted how important it is for guests to have opportunities to switch off and enjoy the sound of silence. All SkySafari itineraries ensure guests have ample time on game drives, to fully experience the amazing natural environment and wildlife. Taking in the splendour and calm hush of the bush is one of the most beautiful aspects of being on safari.

Above & Beyond Destinations

Kenya and Tanzania are Top Destinations for Travel in 2023

Along with the latest travel trends, SkySafari is pleased to offer itineraries in Kenya and Tanzania, both of which have been cited as top destinations for travellers in 2023.

Conde Nast Traveler and The Points Guy selected Kenya amongst their top destinations, while CNN highlighted Tanzania. SkySafari’s Kenya itineraries invite guests to experience more than just the Masai Mara with visits to Amboseli National Park and Loisaba Conservancy. Similarly, the Serengeti, while incredibly spectacular, is not the only stop on SkySafari’s Tanzania itineraries, which includes visits to Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. SkySafari also offers the ultimate safari 13-day East Africa itinerary which combines both Kenya and Tanzania, ensuring you experience the very best of both countries.
