About this trip
This is a family safari from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara, built around 4WD game drives and time with Maasai communities along the way. You travel through the Great Rift Valley, stopping at Lake Naivasha and Crater Lake before reaching the Mara.
It's a participatory camping trip, so you and your family pitch in with setting up tents, cooking and cleaning alongside the group. Evenings are spent at camp with other families, with swimming pools at most stops for the kids to burn off energy.
One night is spent at a basic bush camp in the Loita Hills with cold showers and no wifi, traded for a closer look at Maasai culture.
What you'll do
- 4WD game drives in the Maasai Mara looking for lions, cheetahs and elephants
- Visit the Langata Giraffe Sanctuary for close-up giraffe encounters
- Spend time with a Maasai community learning about traditional tribal culture
- Watch for hippos in the Mara River
- Walk around Crater Lake in the Great Rift Valley
- Overnight near Lake Naivasha
- Some driving days run 6 to 7 hours over often bumpy roads, worth weighing up with younger children
- Participatory camping — your family helps put up and take down tents, cook and clean
- The Loita Hills bush camp has cold showers, hot bucket showers in the morning, and no wifi

What's included
- Guide: All Intrepid Family trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to assist your family to take the hassle out of your travels and help you have the best trip possible. Your leader will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for fun things to do and see - for both kids and parents, recommend great local eating venues that will even get the kids trying new things, and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. Our leaders are not babysitters on this trip - we leave that to you (the experts), but they will make sure that group members of all ages are able to explore their destination safely and with as much fun as possible. Our group leaders are not responsible for looking after children at any time and children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times throughout this itinerary.

- Transport: We believe that the vehicles you use pay an important part in your holiday so where possible we include a wide variety of vehicles from local remorks or tuk tuks in Asia to feluccas on the Nile as well as the ubiquitous air conditioned minibus. Overland truck, 4 x 4 safari vehicle
- Accommodation: GENERAL ROOMING CONFIGURATIONS: Family of two - All family groupings of two will be put into a twin room. Family of three - Wherever possible we will put you in a triple room. Please be aware that in a handful of places triple rooms are in short supply. This means that, in practice, a triple room will often simply be a twin room with a mattress on the floor or a further bed squashed in. Where it is impossible to provide a triple room, you will have to decide which of your party takes the single room. Family of four or more - You will most likely stay in two twin rooms. If and wherever possible we will aim put you in a quadruple room. Whilst we will do our very best to ensure that families are roomed close together (in some cases, we can arrange adjoining rooms), we can’t guarantee this. Most family holidays occur during peak season and we sometimes have little to no control over where you will be put. You need to come prepared for this. Hotel (1 night), Cottage (2 nights), Camping with facilities (4 nights)

- Optional: Lake Naivasha - Bike hire - USD12 Lake Naivasha - Hell's Gate NP (Game Drive) - USD65 Lake Naivasha - Boat trip - KES4000
- Insurance: Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips for those travelling internationally. We require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. If you are travelling within your home country or region please confirm before travel that you are entitled to access the public medical system easily should an accident occur. We strongly recommend all travellers have a policy that also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage or personal effects. For international trips, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number has been sighted by your leader. If you have credit card insurance your group leader will require details of the participating insurer/underwriter, the level of coverage, policy number, and emergency contact number rather than the bank's name and your credit card details. Please contact your bank for these details prior to arriving in-country. Travellers who reside within the European Union or Switzerland receive basic international health insurance, so travel insurance is not mandatory under European Union Law. However, as this does not cover situations such as emergency rescues, private health care, or repatriation to their home country, comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended. European Union or Swiss travellers who decline travel insurance when travelling outside of their home region must sign a Travel Insurance Waiver Form at the Group Meeting.
