Kenya Family Safaris : Beyond kids and animals, what could be more natural? Children naturally have a love for our avian and four-legged friends, as any zoo would demonstrate. Imagine now bringing your family on a safari to see a wide variety of species up close on the hills and savannahs that are their natural habitat. Kenya is the ideal destination for an African family safari since it offers a mystical setting where people of all ages may spend quality time together. Take a trip in a hot air balloon above Masai Mara, witness the elephants’ procession near Mount Kilimanjaro, or have fun on Diani Beach sand dunes. Kenya is a great place to go on a family safari if you’ve ever thought about it; the country offers family-friendly hotels, fun, and adventure in abundance.
Let’s Go to Nairobi First.
In addition to serving as the departure point for several safaris around the nation, Kenya’s bustling capital city is an excellent location for convenient family wildlife excursions. At the unique Giraffe Centre, your kids will enjoy getting up close and personal with huge Rothschild’s giraffes, and they will share their joy with Kenyan students. Youngsters may scale the feeding platform, offer giraffe food pellets, and then watch as a massive green tongue licks them clean!
Who is not fond of young elephants? As the orphaned baby elephants rush to get their enormous baby bottles, your entire family will be giddy with delight. This is the environment of the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, where young elephants live and play soccer balls and roll in the mud.
Your family may visit Nairobi National Park in only 10 minutes from downtown if they’re looking for an easy and quick vacation to an actual animal park. You can see lions, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, and much more in the wild, all within sight of the city’s skyscrapers, and all just a few minutes from your accommodation.
Extra Simple Family Safaris in Kenya
Do you want to plan some short family vacations to the local national parks? These one-day trips from Nairobi may be taken alone or as a part of a longer package:
You can explore Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha in a single day, and you’ll be rewarded with stunning acacia woods that are home to zebra, giraffe, antelope, and a variety of birds, including storks, pelicans, and vivid pink flamingos. At Lake Naivasha, you may even embark on a sailing expedition. Additionally, your family may get up close and personal with giraffe, zebra, and buffalo while on a guided cycling trip at the neighbouring Hell’s Gate Park.
Children of all ages enjoy watching the families of free-ranging elephants in Amboseli National Park march in front of the majestic, towering peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Sightings of elephants are assured.
Ol Pejeta Wildlife Sanctuary: Chimpanzees among lions, leopards, rhinos, and elephants? Indeed, this rare reserve is very near to Nairobi and offers all the big game, but it’s also the only spot in Kenya where you may witness chimpanzees in their natural habitat.
Family Memories at Masai Mara
It’s the most well-known park in Kenya, and your kids will never forget the event there. The Great Migration, a breathtaking show of wildebeest and zebra crossing the park yearly, takes place from June to October. Millions of these herding animals stretch to the horizon in the Masai Mara. Give your family this memories to cherish for ever.

Tsavo East National Park welcome sign
Giant elephants wallowing in the red-dusty earth and giving themselves a pink “makeover” have a certain allure. The kids will be overjoyed. The vast Tsavo Parks, East and West, are unique areas teeming with wildlife and surprising treasures like secluded verdant oasis inhabited by hippos and crocodiles, as well as a large rhino sanctuary guarding hundreds of the cuddly animals. Best of all, a one- or multi-day safari from the Kenyan coast just requires a short travel to the parks.
Don’t Forget the Beach
A family holiday wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the beach. Kenya’s golden coast, with its gorgeous and kid-friendly Diani Beach, is the ideal place to round off a Kenya safari holiday. Situated on the warm Indian Ocean, this place offers activities for all ages, including jet skiing, camel riding, and snorkelling.
