Family Safari Escape

Touch down on a scenic bush flight into the heart of the Mara. As you arrive at Hemingways Ol Seki Mara, your private guide welcomes you to your spacious family tent with panoramic views of the Naboisho plains. After a relaxed lunch and time to settle in, head out on a gentle afternoon game drive. Kids can spot their first zebra or elephant with a specially designed safari checklist. Back at camp, enjoy an early al fresco dinner around the fire, followed by stargazing and storytelling under the African sky, while our team entertains younger explorers so parents can unwind.

Begin the day tracking wildlife with your expert guide, lions, giraffes, and possibly a cheetah in full sprint. Mid-morning, visit a neighbouring Maasai village for a respectful, engaging look into local traditions, complete with beadwork demonstrations and warrior games. After a picnic lunch in the bush, kids join a supervised wildlife treasure hunt while parents savour a quiet moment back at camp. Reconnect at sunset for drinks with a view, followed by a lantern-lit dinner and toasted marshmallows by the fire.

Start with a guided sunrise walk for a close-up view of tracks and signs in the earth. Back at camp, kids learn bushcraft and junior ranger skills, tracking, bow-making, and how to safely identify animals, while adults relax or enjoy a massage. In the afternoon, set off in search of big cats and dramatic wildlife sightings, topped off with sundowners in a remote spot. The day ends with a candlelit family dinner beneath the stars, complete with stories from your guide and night sounds all around.

Wake to birdsong and the rising sun. Take one last morning drive or linger on your tent’s veranda, soaking in the silence and space. After a hearty breakfast, your bags are packed and ready for your return flight, leaving with memories, shared stories, and a deeper connection to nature and each other.
