Family Wildlife Safari in Kenya
10-Days family safari visiting most popular parks in Kenya, with
interesting features for children and adults alike.
Our years of experience have taught us that families travelling
together have unique needs in terms of areas of interest, itinerary
design and pace. As a result of this, we have sampled specific
itineraries to suit families, and this is one of them.
This is by no means exhaustive, and should act only as a guide as to
our flexible safari programs. Write to us with specific requirements
and we shall be happy to work with you in creating a most memorable
family safari. Important information to provide should include
number of children and their ages.
The prices quoted below are based on 2 adults (parents) and two
children aged below 12 yrs. Again this is meant to give you a guide
in your planning budget.
Brief information about this safari:
The safari departs from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park, located
about 250 km South of Nairobi and lying at the foot of the majestic
Mt. Kilimanjaro. The park is famous for its big game and great
scenic beauty - the entire landscape is dominated by Mt Kilimanjaro.
After Amboseli there is a day/night break in Nairobi so as to cut
short the driving distances, before proceeding to Sweetwaters Game
Reserve. While in Nairobi, enjoy a walk at “The Nairobi Safari
Walk”, which is quite an adventurous experience, and as well visit
Giraffe Centre, with a chance to feed the giraffes.
Sweetwaters Game Reserve is a private sanctuary near the foot of Mt.
Kenya, with variety of wildlife. Among the highlights at the reserve
include a visit to the Chimpanzee Sanctuary located within the
reserve, which is the only one of its kind in Kenya, a visit to
Morani the tame rhino, the Visitors Information Centre and the
optional night game drive. It will certainly be worth your time to
stay here for 2 nights (1 full day).
The safari then proceeds to the floor of the Rift Valley, to Lake
Nakuru National Park, world famous for flamingos that carpet the
lake. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including the
endangered black rhino.
Lake Naivasha will be your next stop, where the family will enjoy a
boat ride on the lake and a guided walking safari at Crescent
Island, one of the few places in the world where one can walk freely
amidst wild animals – there are no predators.
The highlight of the safari is the finally the visit to Maasai Mara,
arguably Kenya\'s most popular game sanctuary, where you will have
the best opportunity of spotting the Big Five- lion, leopard,
buffalo, rhino and elephant.
