A one-week
safari with a difference! Designed specially for families, this holiday offers
comfortable accommodation and activities for the children. Beginning with some
unforgettable animal encounters near Nairobi, your wildlife safari continues to
2 very different reserves, rich with game - Samburu and the Masai Mara. There
is an option of a beach holiday afterwards. Travel between the parks is by air
to avoid long road journeys. Accommodation is in luxury tented camps and all game
drives are in 4x4 safari vehicles (not vans).
The Adventure
Club for ages under 12 include activities such as build your own mini Maasai homestead,
have a close brush with a toothbrush tree, learn to make a fire with a pair of
sticks, catch and study the brightest butterflies, plant a tree and help bring
back the rains, cast big cat tracks from the real thing, make friends quiver with
your own bow, learn how to identify birds of all feathers, and stalk victory in
our bush treasure hunts. The Adventure Club for ages 12-17 include activities
such as bush orienteering, first aid, snakes, bird identification, tree identification,
mammal behaviour studies, and guided bush walks.
