Family travel

Confirm ages, room occupancy and activity participation before choosing a property. Safari suitability is lower for toddlers.

Choose your hotel around the practical food and transport plan.

Getting there & choosing a base

Jomo Kenyatta International (NBO); some safari flights use Wilson (WIL), requiring a separate transfer.

A prebooked driver simplifies city and airport transfers. Self-drive is not necessary for this suggested plan. Confirm which airport your safari flight uses and the baggage allowance.

JW Marriott Nairobi is a luxury city option, not verified here as a kosher hotel or a walkable Shabbos base. It must not be confused with JW Marriott Masai Mara’s published kosher kitchen.
