read moreAs half-term approaches, parents across Kenya are on the lookout for destinations offering a mix of adventure, culture, wildlife, and relaxation for the whole family - at Resident Rates, of course. We’ve got 3 three kid-friendly half-term getaway suggestions that are sure to keep the whole crew happy.
The Mara promises thrilling game drives where kids can spot lions, elephants, giraffes, and wildebeests in their natural habitat. It’s important to book a family-friendly lodge that caters to the needs of young travellers, providing a comfortable and safe environment for the whole family and offering unique and bespoke experiences especially for little ones.
Kenya’s south coast offers sun-drenched days that start and end on the beach. Sleep-deprived parents can make the most of those early morning wakeups with sunrise beach sessions, complete with a dip in the warm Indian Ocean. The calm waters offer the perfect environment for exploring the magical underwater world through snorkelling. Kid-friendly resorts and beachfront accommodations ensure a stress-free stay for families, with water sports, boat trips, andlasting beachside memories await the whole family.
3. Giraffe Manor and Nairobi Fun: Up-Close Encounters in the Capital
For those who can’t escape the city this half-term, combining urban exploration with wildlife encounters will ensure smiles on faces. Begin your adventure with a staycation at the famous Giraffe Manor, where Rothschild giraffes casually join guests for breakfast – a truly unique and Instagram-worthy experience for the whole family. Visit the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a haven for orphaned elephants, and let your kids foster a deeper appreciation for conservation efforts. The Nairobi National Park offers a chance to spot lions, zebras, and rhinos right on your doorstep.
Introduce your kids to Kenya's rich culture by incorporating visits to local villages or cultural centres, where they can interact with Maasai communities and learn about traditional customs.
Choose Family-Friendly Accommodations:
Opt for accommodations that are designed with families in mind, providing amenities such as kid's clubs, swimming pools, and spacious family suites for a comfortable stay.
Select safari lodges or camps that offer educational programs for children, providing them with insights into wildlife conservation and the importance of protecting Kenya's natural treasures.
Streamline your holiday experience by choosing all-inclusive packages that cover meals, activities, and accommodations, allowing you to focus on creating memories rather than logistics.
