Family Fun Escape
Family | Adventure | Bonding
A carefully curated experience designed for families to explore, play, and create lasting memories together. From boat safaris among hippos to walking with giraffes on Crescent Island, every moment is balanced for both young explorers and grown-ups seeking rest. Little ones have their own special moments too, with access to our dedicated playroom featuring board games, PlayStation, Xbox, table tennis, and art supplies. For very small children, attentive caregivers are available upon request (advance booking required, extra charges apply). Paint & Sip together, discover Maasai culture at the Maa Museum, cycle our 5km trail, or simply splash in the pool. This is Naivasha, through the eyes of a child. And through yours, watching them discover it.

YOUR EXPERIENCE
Arrival & Welcome
Arrive at Enashipai Resort and Spa. A warm welcome awaits the whole family—cooling towels, refreshing drinks, and a special Enashipai activity pack for the children to begin the adventure. Settle into your family room or interconnecting suites, designed with space and comfort in mind.
Boat Safari on Lake Naivasha
Step onto your private boat and push off into the quiet waters. Within minutes, the wild begins. Hippos surface and submerge close by—always a moment of wide-eyed wonder. Fish eagles perch in dead acacias, waiting to call. Your guide knows how to capture the imagination of young explorers, pointing out kingfishers, cormorants, and perhaps even a crocodile sunning on the shore.
Crescent Island Walking Safari
A gentle adventure for all ages. Crescent Island is a private sanctuary where animals roam unfenced and unafraid. Here, you walk among giraffes moving between acacia canopies, zebras grazing peacefully, and waterbuck watching from the bush. Your guide makes it educational and exciting—teaching animal tracks, sharing fun facts, and ensuring even the smallest legs can manage the terrain.
Maa Museum Discovery
Visit Kenya’s first privately registered museum—and discover that museums can be magical for children too. Six years of curation have gathered traditional tools, intricate beadwork, ceremonial dress, and contemporary Maasai art. Our guides know how to bring the stories to life for young minds: How is beadwork made? What is a warrior’s role? Why are cattle so important? Family Activities – Your Choice
Cycling or Scooters
Our 5km trail winds through the resort, perfect for family exploration. Bicycles for adults and older children, scooters for the little ones. Self-guided, unhurried, with fever trees to spot and flora to discover along the way.
Paint & Sip
Together, create something beautiful. Children create their masterpieces with colourful paints (mocktails in hand), while parents enjoy a selected cocktail or mocktail. Guided by a professional instructor, step by step, no experience required. Each family member takes home their own artwork.
Swimming & Resort Games
More pool time, or perhaps family games on the lawn. Our collection of outdoor games—Boccia, Ladder Golf, Corn Hole—is available for spontaneous fun.
Family Dining
Throughout your stay, enjoy relaxed family meals at our restaurants. Children’s menus available, with favourites that even the pickiest eaters will love. High chairs and attentive service mean parents can actually enjoy their meal too. A special family high tea can be arranged—delicate sandwiches, warm scones, and child-friendly treats served with views over the lake.
Kids’ Zone & Playroom
A dedicated, safe space for children to play. Inside, they will find:
- Board games and puzzles for all ages
- PlayStation (PS4 & PS5) and Xbox for gaming fun
- Table tennis and pool table for friendly competition
- Art and painting supplies for creative expression
- A cozy corner for reading and quiet time
Caregiver Service (Advance Booking Required, Extra Charge)
For very small children, our playroom can be staffed with attentive caregivers upon request. Whether for an hour or an afternoon, your little ones will be gently cared for while you enjoy some time to yourselves—perhaps a treatment at Siyara Spa, a quiet moment by the pool, or simply a coffee enjoyed in peace.
Optional Evening Magic
As the day softens, gather for a family sundowner by the bonfire—a magical moment of storytelling under the stars. Or, if energy permits, enjoy the evening atmosphere with games and laughter around the fire. Departure
