Kenya
The ultimate family safari destination
Kenya is where safari dreams come alive. The Masai Mara during the Great Migration is one of nature’s greatest spectacles, but Kenya offers so much more for families — Laikipia’s conservancies have incredible child-friendly lodges, and the coast around Diani is pure white sand paradise.

Jessica's Family Tips
- Many safari lodges have minimum age requirements — I’ll find ones that welcome younger children
- Consider a private conservancy over the main reserve for a more intimate experience
- Anti-malaria medication is recommended — consult your GP well in advance
- A beach add-on after safari is the perfect family combo
