Kenya Family Holidays

From tending goats and cattle, building bush camps and gaining experience in wildlife tracking at Saruni Mara’s ‘Warrior Academy’, to soaring over the vast plains of the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon, and staying at Nairobi’s Giraffe Manor Hotel, feeding the resident giraffes from your breakfast table, a family safari in Kenya can be an exciting and life enriching experience for both parents and children alike.  

Intrepid children will relish the opportunity of sleeping in a tented safari camp or lodge right in the heart of the action.

Imagine their excitement if they hear a lion roar in the middle of the night or see an elephant wander freely through the camp.

They will love the thrill and excitement of venturing out into Kenya’s spectacular national parks and reserves for game drives with an enthusiastic local guide. Your guides will expertly locate hyenas, mandrills, warthogs and other wildlife, bringing The Lion King to life. 

As well as game drives, many of Wayfairer's partner safari lodges and camps in Kenya offer special activities for children, such as visiting the original Masai or Samburu villages, learning how archery, pangas and spears and tracking herds of elephants.
