Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania is one of the most special places for a game drive in the world. Once a massive volcano rivalling the tallest in Africa today, the cone collapsed on itself 2-3 million years ago, creating the largest intact volcano caldera in the world.

2 Days in Serengeti National Park with Kids
Everyone knows Serengeti National Park. Simply mention its name and people will envision the classic African landscape – rolling savannahs of grass, with acacia trees scattered around the landscape, wild animals everywhere. We’ve always wanted to visit Serengeti National Park with kids, so we were super excited when we finally got a chance to visit during our family trip to Africa.
Maasai Mara National Reserve with Kids
Maasai Mara National Reserve is one of the most famous game parks in Kenya, and perhaps all of Africa. Sharing a border with the Serengeti National Park, Maasai Mara is renowned for its incredible amount and diversity of African wildlife. When we planned our family trip to Kenya, we just knew we had to visit Maasai Mara with kids.
Maji Moto Cultural Camp with Kids
Celine and I had been to many “cultural experiences” in Africa before, and they were always disappointing, non-authentic tourist traps. When we were planning our family safari trip to Kenya, we wanted to mix in some culture for our kids to break up the game drives, but we wanted to avoid the awful fake stuff put on for tourists. When we heard about the Maji Moto Cultural Camp, we knew we had found the right place.
3 Days in Lake Naivasha with Kids
When choosing destinations for our family holiday to Kenya, Lake Naivasha was a clear choice due to its unique blend of nature, adventure and relaxation. After several days of amazing game drives in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, we were looking for an opportunity to enjoy some outdoor physical activity. During our three days in Lake Naivasha with kids, we found many family-friendly outdoor adventures in which highlight the regions’ natural beauty and rich wildlife.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy with Kids
If you are looking for an excellent game park for a family safari in Kenya, we recommend the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The land for the Ol Pejeta Conservancy was previously owned by an arms dealer, but thankfully today it belongs to one of Kenya’s top conservation projects. We spent three days in Ol Pejeta Conservancy with kids, and had some truly amazing wildlife encounters.
