5Continents Returns from an Unforgettable FAM Trip to Kenya

An Immersive Journey of Culture, Wildlife, and Connection

Montreal, Canada — From April 29 to May 6, 2025, 5Continents 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 partners.
From the moment the group landed, Kenya opened its arms and its wild heart. 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
• 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,” said Sabrina 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.”

This FAM served not only as an educational opportunity, but also as a reminder of why Africa continues to captivate travelers seeking connection, authenticity, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. The participating agents returned with stories, insights, and a renewed passion to share Kenya with their clients.

Testimony from agents:

Camille Wilson – The Travel Agent Next Door
My first experience in Africa did not disappoint in any way! I feel beyond spoiled that it was Kenya, too. 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. Meeting the very talented ladies creating magic out of clay into colorful jewelry. The delicious food everywhere, each Chef proudly mingle to see if there is anything else they can offer. I loved chatting with the front-line staff in hotels and wanting to be a cheerleader for them on their positive bold plans for life.

Thanks for this opportunity 5CONTINENTS. This first-hand experience has a part of my heart. I can’t wait to return with my family. It has allowed me to speak more intelligently on Kenya to my clients. I’m beyond excited to share all knowing what is awaiting them on their arrival, experiencing Kenya.

 

Linda Dennis – The Travel Agent Next Door
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.

Thanks 5 Continents and Twiga Tours for this once in a lifetime opportunity.
