Inspirational safari & beach family holiday to Kenya and Seychelles
This hassle-free family holiday combines a safari in Kenya's famous Maasai Mara with a beach stay on a private island in the Seychelles. Fly in by light aircraft to the Maasai Mara, one of Africa's exciting wildlife destinations and stay at Mara Plains Camp in a family suite. This luxury camp is located in a private conservancy bordering the national park and offers day and night game drives and opportunities for a balloon safari. Following the safari, you will head for an overnight in Nairobi at the famous Giraffe Manor, an elegant hotel which also so happens to be home to a herd of resident Rothschild's giraffe who may visit morning and evening, sometimes poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary.
Whilst in Nairobi you may also like to take the children to the elephant orphanage. It's then time to head to the Indian Ocean for your private island experience at Six Senses Zil Pasyon, staying in a Pool Villa. The resort offers water sports, superb beaches, a kids' club with daily activities and daily free ice cream by the pool.
