Exploring Kenya with Kids: A Family’s Guide to Safari Adventures
Our family lives for adventures in nature and the outdoors, so it’s no surprise that we’ve longed to go on a family safari trip to Africa. There are so many amazing destinations to go on safari in Africa, but if you’re looking for an adventurous, educational, and unforgettable family destination, consider traveling to Kenya with kids. Kenya offers a unique blend of thrilling wildlife encounters, rich cultural experiences, and stunning natural landscapes that make it an exceptional choice for a family safari holiday.
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.

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.

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.
