Wonderful 7 nights journey through Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Edouard, our tour guide, has been the most patient and accommodating person. He is a terrific guide who can spot animals miles away! We obviously saw the big 5 on many occasions and much more! He has ensured our journey was smooth and was the sweetest person with our 10 years old. The hotel selection was v nice, with high levels of comfort. Albert, the owner of the company, is a v nice man, has been v helpful and accommodating during the preparation of the journey and during. Again a v smooth and fabulous journey. Ps money wise, safari is not a cheap experience but I have found albert company to be v competitive in comparison with others and again this is the trip of a lifetime! Thank you

What our customers ask about Kenya Family Tours
What are the best family-friendly activities and attractions in Kenya?
Kenya's national parks provide an extraordinary mix of wildlife and cultural experiences that appeal to all ages. The Masai Mara serves as a natural classroom where families can spot lions, elephants and giraffes during daily game drives. Lake Naivasha's calm waters let children observe hippos and water birds from a safe distance in small boats. At Amboseli families can watch elephant herds roam against the snow-capped backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Each park was a unique experience with many animals and beautiful scenery. We saw 4 of the big 5 in Masai Mara and picked up the rhino at Lake Nakuru."
What types of accommodation are available for families in Kenya?
Accommodations across Kenya's parks range from high-end lodges to well-appointed safari camps that cater to families. The Saruni Mara Lodge features family units while Miti Mingi Eco Camp provides spacious tents with modern amenities like private bathrooms and limited electricity from 6 PM-10 PM. Near Lake Nakuru the Lanet Matfam Resort welcomes children with dedicated facilities and play areas. As mentioned by one TourRadar traveler: "The hotels were very nice and clean, and most of them have big rooms. But most important there are animals right at some of the hotels."
When is the best time to take a family safari in Kenya?
Families find the most reliable wildlife viewing during the dry seasons from June to October and January to February. The Masai Mara reaches its peak from July to September when millions of wildebeest make their annual migration across the plains. While Amboseli's elephants are present year-round the dry season provides the clearest views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "We went in July so we also saw wildebeests crossing the river."
How long should families plan to stay in each national park?
The sweet spot for most families is 2-3 nights per major park. This allows for a relaxed pace with time for morning and afternoon game drives. Plan for 3 nights in the Masai Mara 2 nights in Amboseli and 2 nights at Lake Naivasha. According to frequent visitors this schedule gives children enough time to explore without getting restless while maximizing wildlife sightings during peak viewing hours.
What cultural experiences are available for families in Kenya?
Local Maasai communities welcome families into their traditional villages for around USD 20 per person. Children can participate in the Warrior's Academy at Saruni camps where they learn tracking skills bush knowledge and local traditions. These hands-on experiences include lessons in traditional dance beadwork and daily customs. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The Maasai village visit was a highlight for our children offering unique insights into local life and traditions."
