Family Friendly Kenya - Brand new Special offer announced: two kids under 12 stay free when sharing a room with their parents in the May and October half terms for this bush and beach combo

Africa has a way of getting under your skin and touching your soul. Whether your first introduction is as a child watching Disney’s “The Lion King” or learning about it at school, or perhaps marvelling over an Attenborough “Africa” documentary or following a nail-biting “Big Cat Diary” on your television – or simply drooling over your friend’s safari snaps on Facebook!

For many, an African safari is high on their bucket list of “things-to-do- before- I-die” – and where better to experience the ultimate safari than in one the most famous wildlife parks of all – the Masai Mara in Kenya!

At a time when most holiday destinations are hiking up their prices for the school holidays, Serena Hotels and Lodges (repeatedly voted East Africa’s Most Respected Company) has taken the decision to make Kenya more accessible to and affordable for families – introducing a brand new special offer whereby two children under the age of 12 can stay free when sharing with their parents during the UK half term holidays in May and October 2014.

This special “bush and beach” package twins the recently refurbished Mara Serena Safari Lodge, which boasts one of the best locations in the Mara, with Serena’s ever-popular Serena Beach Resort and Spa, idyllically located on Shanzu beach on Kenya’s Swahili coast. Families will enjoy an authentic taste of the local culture too as Mara Serena resembles a traditional Maasai Manyatta (cluster of domed huts encircled by a Boma of brushwood) whilst Serena Beach echoes a 13th century Swahili town with its winding pathways and colourful markets. Both properties welcome children and Serena Beach particularly has a wide range of facilities and activities on offer to suit all ages. Youngsters are encouraged to learn about local culture and nature whilst they have fun, hopefully instilling a life-long love and appreciation for Africa.
