Going on a safari in Kenya with your family can be one of the most magical experiences for your entire family. That is because Kenya is a country like no other.

Get Used to Kenya

Many think that it would be great to go on a safari as soon as they land in Kenya. But it is a good idea to keep in mind that the time difference and the climate change would be challenging for everyone to handle. Therefore, when using Kenya Holiday Packages, make sure to ask to stay in Nairobi for a few days. This would be a great way to take it easy and get used to the new environment.

If using an establishment such as SkySafari, make sure to request a private guide. Having someone accompany you through all the safaris would be a great plan as they are very knowledgeable. Furthermore, many have experience with children, therefore they know how to keep the children entertained and interested during the safari.

Find Kid-Friendly Activities

In addition to going on a safari together, there are many other ways to keep the children entertained during a safari. One option would be to teach them about the Maasai culture, this is normally done by taking them to visit a Maasai village. There they would be able to learn how to make jewellery or even belts.

Where to Stay

When in Masai Mara, there are a multitude of accommodation options that you can select. However, ultimately it depends on how adventurous you want to be. That is because it is possible to stay anywhere from a lodge to a tent. It is also possible to stay in a treehouse. Therefore, make sure to consider every family member’s feelings when looking for accommodation.
