Families on Safari Angama Mara and Angama Safari Kenya

Family Friendly Safaris in the Maasai Mara, Kenya

This safari is designed for families and multi-generational travellers who want the Maasai Mara to feel exciting, comfortable and easy. You’ll experience the Mara two ways: first from the dramatic escarpment views of Angama Mara, then immersed in the wilderness rhythm of Angama Safari Camp in the Mara Triangle — with return flights between Nairobi Wilson and the Mara included in this package.

The day-to-day is intentionally flexible. Some families love an early start and long game drives; others prefer shorter outings with downtime in between. We’ll shape the pace around your group — perfect for parents travelling with kids, grandparents celebrating a milestone, or families making shared memories on safari.

If you’d like, we can also add thoughtful family touches — from celebrating a milestone birthday on safari to tailoring drives and meals around your group’s needs.

Why families love this safari:
* A balanced pace with space to rest between adventures
* Two distinct Angama styles: panoramic lodge comfort + tented camp immersion
* Flexible game viewing that suits mixed ages and interests
* A setting that makes shared memories effortless — the kind everyone talks about for years.

This is also a lovely day to include one of Angama’s special touches (such as a Shamba lunch or a picnic stop) and finish with sundowners before dinner back at the lodge.

Your guide will suggest the best areas based on what’s been seen recently, whether that’s predators on the move, river sightings, or the open plains where cheetah often hunt.

Mid-day is perfect for family downtime: a swim, a nap, a relaxed lunch, or simply enjoying the lodge facilities before a late-afternoon drive in beautiful golden light. Return for a hearty dinner and a restful night, ready for the next chapter of your Mara adventure.

Why African Signature

Curated Destinations

The Right Place We don’t do "everywhere." We focus on the corners of Africa where the fences are down and the wildlife is still truly wild. From the floodplains of the Zambezi to the dry pans of the Kalahari, we only send you to regions where the land is vast enough to get lost in and the sightings are worth the journey.

Tailored Experiences

The Ground Level Safari isn't just about sitting in a vehicle. It’s about the crunch of grass under your boots on a walking safari, the silent glide of a boat through a reed bed, or the patience of sitting at a waterhole for three hours. We design your days around the rhythm of the animals, not the schedule of a hotel.

Sustainable Stewardship

The Real Impact Travel here has to mean something. We partner with people who are actually on the front lines—the ones running anti-poaching units, protecting habitat, and ensuring local communities see the value in keeping these lions and elephants alive. Your trip is what keeps those boots on the ground.

 Travel Insurance

Protect your investment and don’t forget Travel Insurance! This is mandatory for all our bookings.

In addition to trip cancellation and interruption, most travel insurance plans include coverage for trip delay, missed connection, lost or delayed baggage, medical expenses, and emergency evacuation with repatriation of remains. 24-hour assistance services are included to help the traveller with things such as emergency medical assistance, lost baggage tracking, emergency cash transfer, emergency or last-minute travel arrangements, assistance with replacing lost travel documents and much more.

Why Buy a Travel Insurance Plan? Because Travel Mishaps Occur Every Day! No matter how hard you try, there are some things you just can’t plan for:
If a family member gets sick. If your baggage is lost. If your trip is delayed. Your passport is lost or stolen. If the weather prevents your travel. You need to see a doctor for a sudden injury – your health insurance may not be valid overseas, and medical evacuations can be really expensive. If you miss a flight connection (- e.g. only 80% of US flights arrive on time) You don’t want to lose all your money if you have to cancel your trip. Sometimes, even expert travellers need a little help.

Whilst we will provide you with a Temporary Membership to the Flying Doctor’s Emergency Evacuation scheme in Tanzania, this has to have a corresponding international insurance to cover hospital and emergency cover when you land at the nearest available medical facility.

Please be sure that the travel insurance that you have is right for you!
