Here, without the routine of daily family life, the family members can let their hair down and give each other the much needed attention. A popular holiday spot the world over is the Maasai Mara advantageously located on the southern part of Kenya. The Mara, as it is popularly known, is easily accessed by road or air from Wilson Airport in Nairobi.

Wonderful Adventures at the Mara

A family holiday at the Mara is a great opportunity to enjoy the wildlife as one also enjoys the modern amenities from the numerous hotels, lodges and campsites located in the area.
