Family Adventure in Kenya

The best time to travel to Kenya is in the dry season from December to February. Temperatures are pleasantly warm, and there's hardly any rain. The lack of water means that the animals rarely move away from the waterholes, making wildlife observation more likely.

After landing, a driver will pick you up and directly take you to your accommodation by the sea: Severin Sea Lodge. Enjoy the azure sea and sunbathe on the white beaches of Kenya. Take this time to relax after the flight because you have a packed safari adventure that awaits you in the next few days!
