Bush to Beach: A Family Safari in Kenya

We designed this bespoke Kenya itinerary for a family traveling with a young child, balancing rich wildlife viewing, meaningful cultural encounters, and ending with a beach extension.

They start off in the renowned Lewa Wildlife Conservancy which is set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Kenya. Home to thriving populations of black and white rhinos, Grevy’s zebras, and resident predators, Lewa allows for private, flexible game-drive schedules that effortlessly match a child’s daily routine. They also got to take advantage of an opportunity to visit the Reteti Elephant sanctuary, an experience that delights all family members. The family with their young child got to witness the baby elephants receive their morning milk feeding. Next, their itinerary moves south to the private Mara Naboisho Conservancy, where dedicated Maasai guides bring the bush alive for young explorers through engaging animal tracking and wilderness lore.

Their adventure concludes along the powder-white shores of Diani Beach, offering an effortless transition from safari thrills to seaside leisure. It provides the perfect, relaxing pause for the family to unwind and reflect on their journey before heading home.

With young children, exploring East Africa is sure to be transformative and memorable. It is important to plan with the right pace, properties, and guiding in mind. Let Next Adventure start designing your custom itinerary today for a seamless and exhilarating safari for all ages.
