This 7-day itinerary is the perfect family holiday, combining the wonder of an African safari with the relaxation of a tropical beach break on Kenya's stunning south coast. The adventure begins at Amboseli National Park, where some of the largest and most photogenic elephant herds in Africa roam against the spectacular backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro — Africa's highest peak. Two full days in the park provide ample time for game drives that reveal not only elephants but also lion prides, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, and over 400 species of birds in the park's unique marsh ecosystem. The journey then takes you to Diani Beach, consistently rated as Africa's best beach destination. Four nights in a beachfront resort offer the chance to swim in turquoise waters, snorkel colorful coral reefs, ride camels along the shoreline, or simply build sandcastles with the kids. The resort's kids' club, family-friendly pools, and diverse dining options make it easy for everyone to find their rhythm. For the more adventurous, optional excursions include a visit to Shimba Hills National Reserve to see the rare sable antelope, a dhow sunset cruise, or a glass-bottomed boat trip to Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park. This safari-and-beach combo proves that the best family holidays offer both adventure and downtime in equal measure.
Depart Nairobi after breakfast and drive south toward Amboseli National Park, situated at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. The scenic 4-hour drive crosses Maasai and Kamba country, with views of the mountain growing ever more dramatic. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive as elephants parade across the marshes with Kilimanjaro towering behind them.
