Somak Holidays offers a superb choice of child friendly family safari holidays to Kenya, where the whole family can enjoy the wealth of experiences on offer. On a Somak child friendly family safari in Kenya one of the must see places, especially for the children, is Giraffe Centre which is located just outside Nairobi. The centre has been ostensibly set up as a breeding centre for the endangered Rothschild giraffe, but now operates conservation/education programmes for Kenyan school children. There is good information on giraffes available here, and an elevated feeding platform where visitors meet the resident giraffes face to face. Hand feeding giraffes is an education in itself (watch the children's faces as the rough tongue licks their hands). You will see, close at hand, how they use their long, prehensile tongues to remove leaves from prickly acacia branches. The AFEW (African Fund for Endangered Wildlife) Giraffe Centre is also home to Giraffe Manor, a beautifully maintained colonial home, now an exclusive guesthouse. To the absolute delight of the children and adults alike the centre's giraffe population wander freely through the lush gardens, and pay an occasional visit to the house itself, often pushing their heads through the French Windows to inspect the breakfast table. This is an extremely popular tour on child friendly family safaris. The children just love touching and feeding the giraffes. Not only is it fantastic fun for all the family, it is very informative and educational. At Somak we are keen to tailor-make child friendly family safaris to suit all budgets. It is our belief that if the children are happy (which they undoubtedly are on a Somak child friendly family safari) then the parents are happy. Somak Holidays offers child friendly family safari holidays on Kenya Airways. Kenya Airways operates daily from London Heathrow Terminal 4. Kenya Airways operates a convenient schedule of overnight flights to and from Kenya. Kenya Airways also offers excellent upgrade prices to Kenya Airways Premier World. Kenya Airways also offers a generous baggage allowance of 2 bags at 23kgs per bag.
