FAQS

Everything you need to know about renting children's gear or hiring a Safari Sitter for your Kenyan Adventure.

  • While safari holidays are a wonderful time for the whole family, there are certain activities like horse riding or bush walking that might not be suitable for young children. Having somebody trustworthy to mind your little ones while adults enjoy more entrepid activities is priceless.

We trust them with our own families and have every confidence they'll be a welcome addition to your family while you're in Kenya.
