Trip Informations
Swap the bustle of Kenya's capital for the calls of flamingos, zebras and rhinos as you journey from Nairobi to Maasai Mara. Set out on 4WD game drives in search of your family’s favourite Lion King characters, including lions, cheetahs and elephants, spend time with the Maasai locals and learn about their traditional tribal culture. See giraffes up close at the Langata Giraffe Sanctuary, look for hippos playing in the shallows of the Mara River and spend a night near Lake Naivasha. Travel across the Great Rift Valley hear native birds sing as you walk around Crater Lake and relax at camp each night with the other families – the kids will love the swimming pools!

Spot roaring lions, African elephants and magnificent zebra on multiple game drives through in the famous Serengeti National Park.
Camp under the stars near Lake Naivasha – Experience the thrill of camping among natur spend the night with your family by the campfire, then drift off to sleep to the sounds of the African night.
Set off on a full-day game drive through the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Then, make friends with warriors of the Maasai tribe around the campfire – they'll be on guard for lions while you and your family camp overnight
Look for black and white rhinos as you travel through Lake Nakuru National Park. This large game reserve is known for breeding these endangered animals.

Is this trip right for you?
Please take into consideration if you are travelling with younger children that the going can be slow over the long distances and often bumpy roadsas travel times can sometimes be long and often on bumpy roads. Some days have driving times of 6 to -7 hours.
Please consider the season and research the weather conditions. Remember to come prepared with adequate clothing.
This is a participatory camping trip and everyone will embrace the team spirit by helping with camp setup, food preparation and cleaning. You and your family will be putting up and taking down your tent as you move from place to place.
In Loita Hills (Day 5) you’ll stay in a secure bush camp with basic facilities and cold showers. Hot bucket showers will be available in the morning. Wi-fi is not available and only minimal upgrades are on offer at tonight’s bush camp however the rewards of experiencing the Maasai culture should more than make up for the lack of creature comforts.
Our purpose-built overland vehicles allow for excellent game viewing, equipped with large sliding windows. They have no air-conditioning, however, so they can get dusty and hot at times.

Our Kenya safari was unforgettable. We learnt from the Masai, experienced incredible wildlife from zebras to leopards, and a magical Masai Mara sunrise balloon ride. Rustic camping added to the adventure, and Joseph, Alex, and Elvis made everything smooth, safe, and joyful. A trip our family of four will treasure forever.

There are multiple reasons for choosing intrepid. The main one being the intrepid foundation and the commitments of intrepid holidays to give back to the communities they visit. It was inspiring to see the work done to reduce inequality both financial and for women. The holiday was amazing the safari met all of our dreams.

I’m Catriona aged 8 from Scotland. I had the nickname Rafiki from my African intrepid crew. That means friend in Swahili. My safari trip was excellent. I liked because I liked learning about African animals and seeing them up close in their natural habitats.

The Kenya family safari and cultural trip was great fun. The crew looked after us well, making it fun and educational! Our food was excellent thanks to our terrific chef Elvis. I would readily recommend to any family wanting a bit of adventure and chance to see not only some amazing wildlife but also learn about the Kenyan culture.

My name is Aarav, and I went on a 7-day safari trip to Kenya with my parents to celebrate my 10th birthday. I absolutely loved Kenya, especially the Masai Mara! The hot air balloon ride on my birthday was amazing, and seeing Simba (a lion!) from the sky was the best part. Diana and Judy were so kind to me they surprised me with a big birthday cake, a chocolate cake, and even popcorn! They sang songs and made me feel really special. Thank you so much! I love Kenya!

My second family adventure with intrepid taking a grandchild. Places we visited exceeded expectations. Wildlife everywhere. I felt the cultural experience much more authentic on Kenya safari. Loved visiting the village sponsored by intrepid and seeing all the help that has been given.

I am 9yrs old and enjoyed every minute of this safari with my twin sister and our mommy and daddy! We learnt so much about Kenya and the food and the people. I loved visiting the Maasai village and seeing all the animals in the Maasai Mara. Also feeding the giraffes at the sanctuary in Nairobi. I loved cooking with Chef Evy too.
