Family Safari Accommodation: What Should You Look For?

Taking children on safari requires more planning than simply choosing an attractive lodge. Parents often wonder what is the best type of accommodation for a family safari in Masai Mara? Space, bathroom facilities, food arrangements, location and access to suitable activities all matter when travelling with children.

Mara Siligi Camp has five family tents designed with wider layouts and separate sleeping areas. The tents provide space for families while retaining the atmosphere of a traditional safari camp. Each includes an ensuite bathroom, hot water and solar-powered lighting.

When comparing a masai mara camp for a family holiday, parents should also consider whether the property has experience accommodating children. Mara Siligi Camp can arrange guides experienced in hosting families on request, helping families plan their safari around their needs.

Another useful consideration is the distance between the accommodation and game-drive areas. Where should families stay in Masai Mara to reduce travel time? Staying close to park gates can help shorten the journey into the reserve, which can be particularly helpful for younger travellers.

Mara Siligi Camp is around 10 minutes from Mpuaai Gate and 15 minutes from Talek Gate. Its location allows families to access the reserve without beginning every safari day with a lengthy drive.

For families looking for a safari camp in Masai Mara, the ideal choice should balance comfort, space, location and safari activities. A smaller family-run camp can also offer a more personal atmosphere than a large property with hundreds of guests.
