Where to Go on a Family Safari in Kenya

Masai Mara National Reserve

The Masai Mara safari is Kenya’s crown jewel — vast savannahs, big cats, and endless adventure. Families can enjoy private vehicles, balloon safaris, and guided bush picnics.

Amboseli National Park

Famous for elephants and Kilimanjaro views. Ideal for younger children with short, easy drives and abundant wildlife.

Lake Nakuru National Park

Perfect for birdwatching, rhino sightings, and gentle game drives. The park’s compact size makes it great for family safaris.

Ol Pejeta Conservancy

A sanctuary for rhinos and chimpanzees — and a great place to teach kids about conservation.

Diani Beach

After your safari, unwind by the ocean — swim, snorkel, or build sandcastles on Kenya’s most beautiful beach.
