Family Travel in Kenya

About Kenya:

If ever you want to experience the ultimate African safari, Kenya is the place to visit. View the amazing migrating herds of the Masai Mara, travel to the capital city of Nairobi, visit the Islamic Island of Lamu, experience the unique culture of the Maasai and Samburu people and enjoy breathtaking views of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. Kenya is indeed a diverse, beautiful and enchanting place and offers something for every one.

Is Kenya Family Friendly?

Kenya has a wide variety of family orientated facilities, from overland safaris to kiddies clubs at some of the beach resorts. Guests can even combine a bush and beach adventure for the ultimate family experience in Kenya. There are many accommodation and Kenya lodging options available that cater for the needs of a family. Many of the activities benefit both the young and old.

Guests should confirm with guides and managers which activities are suitable for younger children as some of the activities are only available to guests 16 years old and older.

Many of the safaris are designed for families but it is always wise to confirm this with the guide or ranger as safaris, especially walking safaris, can be long, tiring and strenuous and younger guests might get restless and bored.

Health:

All travellers to Africa should get reliable, careful and professional advice on health safety before deciding on their destination. Please note that Kenya is a Malaria region but if the correct procedures and medication is taken, there is no reason why you and your family cannot enjoy this amazing country.

Guests should make sure that anti malarial drugs are taken and your medical advisor should be able to recommend the ideal drug suited to you and your family. Other basic preventative measures that can be taken while in Kenya include wearing long sleeved shirts, pants, socks and pyjamas in the evening, using insect repellent and using mosquito nets.

If all these rules are followed, you and your family can enjoy a memorable visit to a rich, diverse and mesmerizing country.
