Overview

Family-kenya-safari-sabuk
Kenya was one of the first countries to embrace the joys of family safaris in Africa. And it remains one of the best.

A big plus point for family safaris in Kenya is that many of the private reserves and concessions don’t just offer game-viewing by vehicle. They also offer also camel rides, horse riding and tracking with a Masai warrior. Or fishing in the river and even canoeing or tubing in season. So there's no excuse for your kids to get bored!

We tailor-make each of our Kenya family holidays to suit your family's interests. We may combine at least two contrasting wildlife areas with a few days relaxing on the beach at the end. Kenya is a malarial area - mainly at the coast. Generally family safaris in Kenya are best suited to slightly older children (i.e. ideally six years and over). They’ll really appreciate the ease with which you can skip from the bush to beach after your fix of safari excitement…

We don’t have prescribed Kenya family safari holidays on the website. But many of our sample safaris are suitable for families - see below. Usually we hand-craft a family safari after discussing your specific interests.

Exclusive-use Safari Houses in Kenya

Another plus for family safaris in Kenya are the number of 'Safari Houses' on offer. These are exclusive use houses or villas. Your family party takes the whole lodge, not just one or two inter-leading rooms. The Safari House usually comes with its own game ranger. So that you have freedom to plan your family’s game drives. Plus a private chef and staff team. Some of these villas are adjacent to a larger lodge. (So that you can join in selected lodge activities as you wish.)

As you can imagine, this leads to a much more relaxed and flexible family safari in Kenya. No constant worrying about noise levels, no self-consciousness about an impromptu game of 'Marco Polo' in the pool. You are free to choose your own game-viewing rhythm, heading out early one morning and taking it more relaxed another day. You can eat what you want, when you want it.

Some great examples of Safari House perfect for families are at Sabuk, Saruni Mara, Saruni Samburu and Loisaba.
