Family Memories | Kenya
16 Days
Private Tour – your dates to suit
Tour Overview
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime family escapade across Kenya’s stunning landscapes! Our adventure starts in the heart of Nairobi, where adorable baby elephants steal the spotlight at a local orphanage. Feel the thrill as you hand-feed giraffes at a nearby sanctuary, creating cherished memories your family will talk about for years.
The journey then takes you to the picturesque shores of Lake Naivasha, where a boat trip promises an up-close encounter with playful hippos, but the real wilderness experience begins in the world renowned Masai Mara, Kenya’s wildlife haven. Safari drives in search of the iconic “BIG 5” offer heart-pounding moments and the chance to witness some of the most incredible wildlife on the planet, up close. Picture yourself in a cosy permanent tented camp beneath the African sky, surrounded by the sounds of the wild – this is a a truly memorable experience for the whole family.
But the adventure doesn’t end there! For the last 3 nights of the tour, we whisk you away to Kenya’s stunning Indian Ocean coast, where powdery white sands meet the turquoise waters. You can’t help but dive into relaxation mode here on the coast, as you lounge on palm-fringed beaches, soaking in the sun, and taking refreshing dips in the crystal-clear sea. If you need a little more action however, a glass-bottom boat ride is a great fun wee adventure, where you will anchor on a sandy reef and embark in a spot of snorkelling.
As we head back to Nairobi, we’ll take a leisurely day to explore the city’s vibrant markets and cultural gems. The journey culminates in a grand farewell dinner, a perfect way to reminisce about the incredible adventures shared, new friendships made, and the unforgettable memories of your African odyssey.
Get ready to embark on a voyage filled with wildlife wonders, beachside bliss, and endless family joy!
