Why Choose This Family Safari Holiday
What makes a Family Safari Holiday work is the balance between coverage and pace: enough time in each location for a proper game drive, without the trip feeling rushed. Your driver-guide and vehicle stay with you throughout, and lodges are chosen for their location near the parks visited.
Best Time for a Family Safari Holiday
Most of the parks on this Family Safari Holiday can be visited year-round, though the dry months generally give the easiest game viewing as wildlife concentrates around permanent water. The green season brings lower rates, fewer visitors and lush scenery, with trade-offs in some road conditions. We can help you time a Family Safari Holiday to match what you most want to see.
This Family Safari Holiday combines the Maasai Mara and Amboseli at a gentler pace than our standard itineraries, with family-friendly lodges and camps, shorter game drives, and flexible timing built around children.
Itinerary
We work with lodges that offer family rooms or interconnecting tents, and we can adjust game drive lengths and start times to suit younger travellers.
Day 1 – Nairobi to Maasai Mara
Depart Nairobi and drive to the Maasai Mara, arriving for lunch and a shorter afternoon game drive.
Day 2 – Full Day Maasai Mara
A day of game drives paced around the family, with breaks back at camp for children to rest or use the pool where available.
Day 3 – Maasai Mara to Amboseli National Park
Drive to Amboseli, arriving in the evening.
Day 4 – Full Day Amboseli
Game drives around Amboseli’s elephant herds, with Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop, again paced with family breaks built in.
Day 5 – Amboseli to Nairobi
Depart after a final morning game drive and return to Nairobi.
