School’s out, and adventure is in! 🎉 The August holidays are here, and it’s the perfect time to treat your kids (and yourself) to a well-deserved escape. Whether you’re dreaming of sun-drenched beaches, lakeside sunsets, or forest magic, Kenya is packed with family-friendly gems just waiting to be explored.
But let’s be honest, traveling with kids can be smooth sailing or total chaos. That’s why smart planning (and a little help from BuuPass) makes all the difference.
Here are some top destinations to explore with your kids this holiday, along with tips on how to get there stress-free.
Mombasa – For Beach Days & Swahili Adventures
Swap city noise for crashing waves and salty breezes. In Mombasa, your kids can build sandcastles on Nyali Beach, ride camels at Diani, or discover history at Fort Jesus. It’s educational and wildly fun. Don’t miss Haller Park home to giraffes, crocs, and giant tortoises!
Kisumu – For Boat Rides & Lakeside Chill
Kisumu serves up cool lake breezes, epic sunsets, and fresh tilapia straight from the source. Take the kids on a boat cruise at Dunga Beach or swing by the Impala Sanctuary for a mini safari. Less hustle, more peace, and memories that stick.
Moyale – For the Bold & Curious
Have little explorers with big imaginations? Moyale is an off-the-map gem where Kenyan and Ethiopian cultures meet. The ride is long, but with a comfy, reliable operator (booked on BuuPass, of course), the journey becomes part of the adventure. Perfect for storytelling, bonding, and opening young minds to new horizons.
Kakamega – For Nature Walks & Forest Magic
Get the kids off screens and into the wild! Kakamega Forest offers leafy trails, rare bird calls, and butterfly spotting that’ll leave your family wide-eyed. Pack some snacks, grab binoculars, and let the adventure begin.
Nyamira, Busia & Kitale – For Slower Days & Deeper Bonds
Sometimes, the best trips are the simple ones. Nyamira’s rolling tea hills, Kitale’s museum and farmlands, and Busia’s border-town buzz each offer a slower pace—perfect for reconnecting with your kids and yourself.
