Breakfast with giraffes, rhinos at Nakuru and big cats in the Mara, planned around children.
We designed this safari around children: short drives, a private vehicle so you can stop whenever someone needs to, and lodges that love families. It starts with breakfast at Giraffe Manor, which children remember for the rest of their lives.
Lake Nakuru is small and full of animals, the perfect first park. Then a short flight to the Mara and Governors’ Camp, where elephants walk past the family tents.
