Rarely did they include the younger people in the household. However, there is little more rewarding than taking your kids on a safari in Africa, or showing them some of the most stunning tropical beaches and islands in the Indian Ocean. Luckily things have changed a lot and nowadays family travel has found a firm spot in these two stunning countries. To make your life easier, I\u2019ve selected 5 properties across different regions, making it easier for you to design your next getaway in East Africa.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-angama-amboseli-kenya\">Angama Amboseli, Kenya<\/h2>\n<p>For many the name Angama might sound familiar, and that\u2019s because they equally have one of the most luxurious safari lodge in the Masai Mara. However, Angama Amboseli shouldn\u2019t be ignored, on the contrary. With only 10 guest suites this is certainly not another giant safari lodge, overpromising and underdelivering your next experience. No, it\u2019s the total opposite. Situated in its own private sanctuary called Kimana (which by the way is the first community conservancy created in Kenya) it delivers the ultimate safari luxury\u2026..privacy and no crowds. Certainly something you can\u2019t take for granted anymore nowadays.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"767\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209761 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Angama_Amboseli.Kenya_1-920x767.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Angama_Amboseli.Kenya_1-920x767.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Angama_Amboseli.Kenya_1-460x383.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Angama_Amboseli.Kenya_1-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Angama_Amboseli.Kenya_1.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Angama_Amboseli.Kenya_1-920x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Angama_Amboseli.Kenya_1-920x767.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Angama_Amboseli.Kenya_1-460x383.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Angama_Amboseli.Kenya_1-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Angama_Amboseli.Kenya_1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Out of the 10 suites, 2 are specifically designed for families where they connect 2 units with a hallway, allowing the kids to freely move in between.

A welcome goodie bag upon arrival with a cool safari hat (my daughter even went to bed with it), a guide book in which they can tick all the animals they\u2019ve seen and other fun items which come in handy for their stay. Besides that, the team organises fun activities throughout, making sure the little ones are kept occupied in between the game drives. My kids favourite spot to hang out?

Nonetheless the wildlife is abundant and for those searching for an alternative place to witness the great migration, look no further. AndBeyond Grumeti River Lodge is not only located in this unique area, it\u2019s name also refers to the water which is right in front of the lodge, providing a home for countless hippos. You\u2019ll hear and see them throughout the whole stay, creating a wild backdrop when you\u2019re sitting on your terrace or having lunch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"767\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209766 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_1-920x767.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_1-920x767.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_1-460x383.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_1-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_1.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_1-920x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_1-920x767.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_1-460x383.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_1-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The family room here is right next to the main area and provides ample space for 2 adults and 2 kids. With their own room and bathroom, the kids can really feel like they have their own private sanctuary while the parents are still near. Of course this works vice versa too. Also here the kids will find a backpack on their bed filled with goodies. There\u2019s even a magnifying glass to study the smaller animals which they\u2019ll come across on safari. One of the main attractions for the kids however is the private plungepool on the terrace. I\u2019m not sure if the hippos expected guests that would enjoy the water even more than they do. Another hit is the stunning pizza oven where the youngster can create their own pizza together with the chef, giving the safari some Italian flair.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"767\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209759 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_2-920x767.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_2-920x767.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_2-460x383.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_2-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_2.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_2-920x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_2-920x767.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_2-460x383.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_2-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_grumeti_tanzania_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-legendary-lodge-arusha-tanzania\">Legendary Lodge Arusha, Tanzania <\/h2>\n<p>Arusha might not be the main destination for many, but it is the gateway for most of the Tanzanian safaris so most visitors will stay here either before or after their safari as flight connections aren\u2019t always ideal.

They have 12 cottages but you can call them villas as they are all separately located across the verdant greenery, and 2 of them are 2-bedroom villas, making it ideal for families.

They even provide bicycles for everyone to ride around the grounds if you feel like it. But surely don\u2019t forget to take a dip in the pool while the staff brings you the most delicious cocktails and kid friendly mocktails. This is a place to wind down after a long flight or an intense safari, and everything is made in such a way that you can instantly feel at home as a family (or couple). Want to play croquet in the garden or rather find your inner Van Gogh with the easels that are invitingly standing in the garden? Not a problem.

Mnemba has a rule to only allow a maximum of 2 kids on the island at any given time, hence why there\u2019s only one family Banda.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"767\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209760 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond.mnemba_zanzibar_1-920x767.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond.mnemba_zanzibar_1-920x767.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond.mnemba_zanzibar_1-460x383.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond.mnemba_zanzibar_1-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond.mnemba_zanzibar_1.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond.mnemba_zanzibar_1-920x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond.mnemba_zanzibar_1-920x767.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond.mnemba_zanzibar_1-460x383.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond.mnemba_zanzibar_1-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond.mnemba_zanzibar_1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>No pool or kids club on the island, but there\u2019s no need for it. There\u2019s an endless pool all around and the kids are kept busy in multiple ways. Key players are of course the team on the island that happily take the kids for a sushi making class, or an epic snorkelling trip in the crystal clear waters surrounding Mnemba. The island itself is of course also a great place to hang out, and it houses Africa\u2019s most rare antelope species, the Ader\u2019s duiker. It\u2019s a conservation effort happening right under your nose, yet one only a handful of people can witness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"767\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209768 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_mnemba_zanzibar_2-920x767.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_mnemba_zanzibar_2-920x767.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_mnemba_zanzibar_2-460x383.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_mnemba_zanzibar_2-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_mnemba_zanzibar_2.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_mnemba_zanzibar_2-920x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_mnemba_zanzibar_2-920x767.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_mnemba_zanzibar_2-460x383.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_mnemba_zanzibar_2-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aluxurytravelblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/andbeyond_mnemba_zanzibar_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Would you take your family to one of these properties?
