Overview

This active family safari holiday in Kenya, East Africa is a journey of adventures and experiences from the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, through some of the best African wildlife parks before a relaxing finale on the Kenyan Coast. It is designed to give the complete experience of African wildlife safari, show the colour and character of the local Maasai people and reveal the wild landscape of off-the-beaten track mountains. In Nairobi we visit the Giraffe Centre where we can feed these quirky loveable animals and learn more about endangered species and conservation in East Africa, and we also visit the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. Leaving the city we travel south to overnight in a traditional Maasai village before transferring to the relatively unknown, green Chyulu Hills just north of the Tanzanian border from where there are distant views of Kilimanjaro. Here we wild camp for 2 nights in the bush, a magical experience and enjoy some walking safaris.


It is then onto Amboseli National Park. Famous for its large elephant herds we will enjoy an exciting game safari in the shadow of Kilimanjaro. The wildlife of the plains such as impala and zebra graze the grasslands under the shade of acacia trees, and if we are lucky we may even see some prowling lions and cheetah! Our next stop is one of the largest national parks in East Africa – Tsavo at 22,000km² in size. Here we visit the hippos and crocodiles at the oasis haven of Mzima Springs and go on game safaris. Our finale at the end is the wonderful beaches of the Kenyan Coast. Here we have four nights to totally relax enjoying swimming and watersports on the beautiful coast. East Africa is an amazing destination for a family holiday and there is so much more to see than just the wildlife; this itinerary captures it all.

Suitable for children aged from 7yrs

The purpose of this itinerary is to ensure you and your family have the complete African experience. Everyone will be educated in Nairobi about rehabilitation and endangered species before we actually see these animals in the wild on our safaris. A visit to the fun-loving Maasai people will be an education on their way of life, and we will get off the beaten track for a practical geography lesson.

 

As we are covering a reasonable distance during the itinerary there are a few drives of 3-4hrs and a couple of full day drives. All drives are interspersed with frequent stops and interesting stories from our guide. The wildlife game viewing safaris are designed not to be lengthy so as to ensure that the children are kept interested. Note that some of these park roads can be bumpy, especially if it has rained. The three walks in the bush are on small tracks or paths through grasslands, on the flat or gentle inclines. 

The walking is not technical or difficult, perfect for younger legs.

 

There is a large variety of accommodation; hotels with swimming pools, permanent tented safari camps, wild camping, traditional Maasai mud hut and a beach hotel surrounded by gardens on the coast. For the 2 nights wild camping tents will be erected and full camping service provided, the facilities will be basic but the feeling of being in the wild more than makes up for this. All equipment except for sleeping bags is provided. The guides are all experienced at working with adults and children alike, and will always go the extra mile to ensure that everyone is happy and entertained.

Why KE?

An incredible family holiday in East Africa, with an itinerary unique to KE, that will be forever embedded in family memories.
