Planning a Family Safari? Here’s When to Go

Masai Mara can be magical for kids—but timing makes or breaks it. June to October is perfect for family safaris. Roads are dry, animals are easy to spot, and there’s less risk of malaria. Camps like Mara Siligi Camp offer family-friendly Masai Mara packages with early game drives, kid-friendly meals, and flexible schedules. The cooler weather also makes it easier for younger children to enjoy longer drives.

Prefer fewer crowds? January to March’s calving season is a quiet, beautiful alternative. There’s plenty of action with fewer vehicles around. Just make sure your Masai Mara tour package includes accommodations that welcome children and offer private game drives. A good guide can turn a lion sighting into a thrilling story and a giraffe encounter into a memory your child never forgets. Safari isn’t just for grown-ups—it’s for wide eyes and new adventurers, too.
