Encounter Africa's storybook wildlife up close and discover the Maasai and Samburu tribes on this thrilling family safari to Kenya. Explore the Samburu region of northern Kenya and the famous Maasai Mara staying in child-friendly, yet luxurious, camps, offering fun-filled, nature-based activities for the kids. The adventure begins in Saruni Samburu in Northern Kenya. Here an exciting 'warrior' programme has been set up for children where they will learn bush skills, how to make a bow and arrow, identify and track animals on foot and learn basic survival skills.
On game drives see the enormous herds of Samburu elephant and the Samburu Five - rare species only found in Samburu. You will then move onto a private concession of the Maasai Mara - legendary for its big cats and huge herds of wildebeest during the great migration. You'll sleep under canvas in a family tent at Cottar's 1920's Camp. Enjoy game drives together as a family and then relax at the pool during your down time. It's a vacation the family will treasure for many years to come.
