Before you go
What the guide flags for families.
- The Giraffe Centre and the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage are the two easiest wildlife stops for children; book Sheldrick ahead. (Kids)
- The Nairobi National Museum's snake park and the Karura Forest bike trails suit school-age children. (Kids)
- A stroller is hard: pavements are broken, so a carrier helps. (Kids)
