How to Get There
Most family safari holidays in Kenya start from Nairobi, the gateway to adventure. You can take a scenic road safari or opt for a fly-in safari to save time and maximize comfort for young travelers.

Road safari from Nairobi to Amboseli or Tsavo (4–6 hours).
Short flight from Nairobi or Amboseli to Ukunda (Diani Beach) or Malindi for your beach extension.
Families already at the coast can begin their Kenya safaris from Mombasa or Diani Beach, exploring Tsavo East and West, then returning to relax by the sea — the ultimate Kenya beach and safari holiday.
Best Time to Visit
Kenya is a year-round destination, but June to October (dry season) is ideal for safaris and beach relaxation. The wildlife is easier to spot, and the coast enjoys warm, calm waters.
Best Months for Family Safaris and Beach Holidays:
June – October: Best wildlife viewing (Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo).
December – February: Excellent beach weather in Diani, Watamu, and Malindi.
July – September: Witness the Great Migration Masai Mara — a once-in-a-lifetime experience for kids.
Wildlife & Landscape
A family safari in Kenya introduces children to the raw beauty of nature — from towering giraffes to playful elephant calves.
Top Safari Parks for Families:
Masai Mara National Reserve: Big Five, migration, hot-air balloon rides.
Amboseli National Park: Elephants framed by Mount Kilimanjaro.
Tsavo East & West: Short, accessible safaris from the coast — perfect for families.
After the excitement of the savannah, relax on Kenya’s coastline — where turquoise waters meet palm-fringed sands. The marine life off Watamu Marine Park and Diani Reef is just as spectacular as the savannah — colorful coral gardens, playful dolphins, and sea turtles await.
