A week built for travelling with children: shorter driving days, camps with pools and family tents, guides who are good with young spotters, and a route that keeps delivering new things before anyone can get bored. Lions in the Mara, boats and giraffe walks at Naivasha, elephants under Kilimanjaro at Amboseli.
We pace it deliberately. Game drives run when the wildlife is active and the kids are fresh, afternoons leave time to swim, and every camp has been chosen because families genuinely settle in there. It is the safari to book if you want the trip to feel like a holiday for the parents too.
Gentle start: baby elephants at the Sheldrick Trust and giraffes at eye level in Karen, then a relaxed first night in Nairobi.
Down the escarpment to camp, pool time after lunch and a first family game drive.
Morning with the prides, then an afternoon visit to a Maasai village where the kids usually steal the show.
Final Mara drive at dawn, then on to Naivasha for an afternoon boat ride among the hippos.
Walk with giraffe and zebra in the morning, rhinos and flamingos at Nakuru in the afternoon.
Cross to elephant country with Kilimanjaro on the horizon and an evening drive among the herds.
Elephants under the mountain at dawn, then the drive back to Nairobi in time for evening flights.
