Recently returned from a 4 night safari in two locations in the Masi Mara. Jonny and Wild Paths did an excellent job planning exactly what we wanted while staying within our budget. We stayed a 2 different camps. Julia's River Camp and Instinct of the Mara. Both were perfect and offered different activities. The planning and communication was very easy and I would highly recommend Wild Paths.

My husband and I had been wanting to book a safari for many years but struggled to find a sustainable and ethically conscious provider, until we spoke with Jonny at Wild Paths, who not only created us a fantastic itinerary, including our key destinations in Tanzania but used local providers ensuring our money benefited the local communities. Jonny provided a personal service throughout the process, checking in with us at every stage. The travel itinerary all went smoothly and accommodation he recommended was a great variety of camps and lodges, all combining comfort and great hospitality whilst being at the heart of the action; it was incredible eating our breakfast whilst watching the elephants take a drink, a privilege watching a giraffe suckle her calf whilst we had an evening sundowner and awesome listening to lions roaring whilst being tucked up safely in bed! The local tour company Jonny chose for us were amazing, with high standards of safety and service as well as excellent knowledge and insight into the wildlife - we saw more animals than we were expecting including all big five but the smaller, rarer sights like the two Servals or the Jackal cubs were truly the highlight. We definitely ticked Safari off our bucket list and would go again with Wild Paths in a heartbeat , I cannot recommend them enough!

A family of 4 ( children 2 and 3 yrs old) We took a trip with Wild Paths in February to Kenya. It was magical, More than just a safari and beach we visited projects and met people who are changing lives for the better across the country. It felt great to be a part (even if just a small part) of. 30% of all profits raised from Wild Paths goes to conservation, that was a big part of why we booked with them. The trip was very well planned and faultless through out. We felt safe at all times. 100% recommend booking a trip with these guys. We will book again for sure. A glowing review from us!

What We Love About Family Safaris

First Safari

Allow your kids to connect with nature, learn about biodiversity, and explore new cultures together. Let them experience the thrill of seeing animals in their natural habitat, creating lifelong memories and fostering a love for conservation.

The best camps

Many safari camps and hotels will accept children, but only some actually cater for kids and an even smaller number are really great at it, luckily we have a trusty contact list.

Experience

Planning a trip with kids is considerable and needs expertise. Our Founder has two young children so is experienced in planning and enjoying trips away with family. Contact us to discuss the best trips for your family.
