East AFRICA TRIP
SEPTEMBER 9 - SEPTEMBER 20, 2019
Fancy a game of tennis in the bush? Come and experience the true beauty of the African wilderness all while improving your tennis game. With beautiful safaris and customized tennis clinics, we offer a once in a lifetime tennis and cultural immersion experience. For full trip details, please look at the digital itinerary below.
TennisSafari is open to all levels and ages, our clinics focus on everything from fine-tuning skills and form, to introducing the basics of the game. It’s a great opportunity to build solid technique, and to learn new skills, all while having a blast!
We’ll focus on stroke development and refinement for both basic and advanced skills, the use of spin, repetitive/tactical drills, overall fitness and footwork, and competitive/match play situations. Our drill sessions are a great way to get in a workout before or after a full day of activities.
Drill topics include: Groundstrokes, Net Play, and Doubles Strategy, and each two hour workout session will include doubles and singles play-action drills, strategy, and match play.
Each workout is for the competitive adult player who is looking to work hard on their game, or for the recreational player who is looking to improve their USTA ranking, the social player or the beginner.
This adventure is suitable for travelers who live an active lifestyle, love tennis, enjoy good health & mobility,
and comfortable participating in 2-4 hours of daily physical activities.
Check in, kick back & relax. Work-out is optional
