Mahali Mzuri Kids

Keeping Busy

At Mahali Mzuri, we’ve crafted a variety of exciting activities to keep your young adventurers entertained and inspired throughout your safari. From our thrilling Tracking Skills Treasure Hunt, where little explorers follow clues around the camp and learn essential safari tracking techniques, to our Nature Spotting Safari that uncovers the wonders of lizards, insects, and vibrant birds right on your doorstep, every moment is packed with discovery and fun. Whether it’s a lively group game or a quiet activity, we tailor the playtime to your child’s favorites, ensuring endless smiles and laughter.

After a day full of adventure, little ones can enjoy some well-deserved relaxation with our gentle Kids’ Spa Treatment, designed to soothe and refresh young explorers. To end the day perfectly, gather for Story Time with a Twist, where your guide shares captivating tales of the African bush, accompanied by milk and cookies for a cosy bedtime ritual. At Mahali Mzuri, every experience is crafted to nurture a lifelong love of the wilderness while keeping your family engaged and entertained.

Out in The Wild 

We love welcoming young adventurers aged six and up to join their parents on exciting game drives at Mahali Mzuri! It’s the perfect way for the whole family to experience the magic of the Maasai Mara together. To keep the magic alive and ensure a safe experience for all, little ones are gently encouraged to stay quiet while spotting animals in the wild. If you’re travelling with very young children, one parent can relax back at camp while the rest of the family sets off into the bush for the day’s adventure.

With the Olare Motorogi Conservancy roads kicking up a little dust, we recommend bringing sunglasses to keep small eyes comfortable and protected. It’s all part of the fun in the wild!

Life the Masaai-way

Perfect for families with teens, this action-packed experience invites you to channel your inner warrior with traditional Maasai games. Test your skills in spear and club throwing, and try your hand at archery using a bow and arrow, just like the Maasai have done for generations. This complimentary one-hour activity, located close to camp, is open to all guests aged 12 and above and offers a fun, hands-on way to connect with local culture.

As night falls over the Maasai Mara, budding astronomers can look to the heavens during our Maasai stargazing experience. Learn how the Maasai read the stars to guide their herds and mark the seasons, all while taking in the breathtaking brilliance of the Milky Way in one of the world’s most pristine night skies. It’s a magical blend of science, storytelling, and celestial wonder.

Sweet Dreams

At Mahali Mzuri, families can enjoy the magic of the Maasai Mara together in our spacious two-bedroom family tent, perfect for parents travelling with children. Featuring two ensuite bedrooms and a shared lounge area, it offers both comfort and privacy while keeping the whole family close.

For safety reasons, children under 12 must share a tent with a parent or guardian. Older children aged 12 - 15 are welcome to stay in a separate tent, though we recommend they remain with an adult for peace of mind. If your little one is uneasy in the dark, we’re happy to provide a battery-operated nightlight, as the camp’s electricity is turned off at night to support our eco-friendly operations.

Please note that babysitting services are not available, so children must be supervised by a parent or guardian throughout their stay.

Little Bites 

We know little appetites can be a big deal, so we’ve created delicious, kid-friendly meals and snacks made just for them. Whether it’s a familiar favourite or something new to try, our chefs happily tailor every dish to suit your child’s tastes and dietary needs.

From fun bites between adventures to wholesome meals after a day in the wild, we make sure every guest is well-fed and smiling.

Keeping Little Explorers Safe 

Because we’re nestled in the heart of a wild and unfenced landscape, children must always be accompanied by an adult while exploring the camp. Our dedicated Askari (security guards) pay extra attention to tents with young guests throughout the night, ensuring everyone stays safe and sound.

Remember, it’s not just the big animals you need to watch out for - smaller creatures can also react if they feel threatened, so we kindly ask parents to keep children close, always within arm’s reach.

Also, for your little ones’ safety, please note that we don’t have a lifeguard on duty, so children under 12 must be supervised by an adult whenever they’re in or around the pool.

Your family’s safety and comfort are our top priority, so you can relax and enjoy the magic of the Maasai Mara together.
