Kenya Family Safari - Kenya Family Safaris - Sweetaters Luxury Tented Camps
(6 Nights)

There can be no more exciting holiday for children than an African Safari. Parents and grandparents will enjoy the delight of their young families when they see the wild animals in their natural surroundings for the first time.

Children will be thrilled to see the animals which they have only read about in books or seen on television, and parents can help by teaching their children the importance of wildlife conservation.

The lodges we have chosen all have swimming pools for the times between game drives, as well as large areas of grounds where the children can expend their surplus energy.
This itinerary is our suggestion for an introductory family safari, but there are many other opportunities in other parks which children would enjoy and we would be delighted to quote on any selected itinerary or make suggestions for those particular requirements.
