What sets it apart
Our luxury Kenya family safari gave our family ample opportunity to explore Kenya’s arid, remote and wild north. With the incredible flexibility and first-rate service provided at both luxury family villas we’d chosen, we really were able to slow down and appreciate all that this wonderful country has to offer.
Knowing that this safari visited only low-risk malaria areas gave us peace of mind, as did the full complement of friendly staff at both villas, who ensured that everything was seamless, enjoyable and worry-free, even taking our children on special activities so that we could have some time on our own.
We really could do as much, or as little, as we wished, staying at our villa to soak in the breathtaking views, to laze around the pool or to indulge in spa treatments. Of course, we loved the family-friendly activities too, and the Warriors Academy, private game drives, walking safaris and helicopter excursions offered just the right amount of drama and excitement to keep all ages entertained.
Our safari was also educational – we returned home with a much greater understanding of Kenya’s conservation challenges, and how they’re being addressed. Knowing how critically endangered rhino is, it meant a great deal to us that our children were able to witness this majestic creature roaming freely when other generations may not – a fact that had my daughter in tears.
We went on cultural visits – where the whole family was thrilled to discover Samburu and Turkana culture – and saw first-hand how each of the establishments we stayed at cooperates with local communities to conserve the environment and wildlife, while also preserving the rich local heritage of local tribes.
