Family safaris explained
Safari days the whole family enjoys
Our family safaris keep drives shorter, build in time to rest and choose lodges that welcome children, so every age gets the most from the trip.
Start in Nairobi with the elephants and giraffes, head to the Maasai Mara or Amboseli, and finish with sand and sea at Diani Beach.

Questions
Family safari questions
Common questions from parents planning a Kenya safari.
Is Kenya safe for a family safari?
Kenya is a popular family destination. We plan routes, lodges and drive times with children in mind, and your driver-guide stays with you throughout.
What age is suitable for a safari?
Children of most ages enjoy a safari. Some lodges and activities have minimum ages, so share your children’s ages and we will plan around them.
How long are the game drives?
We keep drives shorter and build in breaks, so younger travellers stay comfortable and engaged.
Can we finish at the beach?
Yes. Longer family safaris can end on the coast at Diani or Mombasa.
What about health and vaccinations?
Ask your doctor about recommended vaccinations and malaria protection for children before you travel.
