9 Days Kenya Family Safari Beach Holiday
A nine-day itinerary built specifically for families travelling with children, combining Masai Mara game drives with beach time on the Kenyan coast. Pacing, camp choice and activities are adjusted throughout for a mixed-age group. See our family safari and beach page for the general planning approach behind trips like this one.
Days 1-2: Arrival and Nairobi
Arrive into Nairobi and settle in before the flight to the Mara the next morning. An optional day-one visit to a giraffe sanctuary or elephant orphanage is a popular, low-key way to ease children into the trip before the safari begins in earnest.
Days 3-5: Masai Mara
Three nights at a family-friendly camp with a minimum game-drive age policy we'll confirm in advance, interconnecting or family rooms, and a guide experienced with younger travellers. Game drives are paced to hold children's attention, with shorter outings built in alongside the standard morning and afternoon drives.
Days 6-9: Diani Beach
A short domestic flight connects the Mara to the coast, where the remaining days are spent at a family-oriented beach resort with calm, reef-protected water, kids' activities and flexible meal times. See our Kenya Coast page for more on the Diani area.
What's Included
