December Holiday Packages in Kenya for Families & Couples
Tulla Travel coordinates the stay, the travel down and the ground arrangements for your December break, plus the outings you actually want. Diani, Mombasa, Watamu, Naivasha, Nanyuki, Dubai and Zanzibar, quoted live for your dates by the same team that runs our corporate programmes.
Festive inventory tightens as December approaches. Share your dates early so we can confirm the best available options.
How a December getaway with Tulla works
You tell us the dates, the party and roughly where you want to be. We request live December availability and rates from the properties that fit, arrange the travel down in whichever way genuinely serves that destination, and put the options in front of you in writing. Nothing on this page is a published rate or a held room, because festive inventory changes daily and we would rather quote you something real.
Planning something for a team or an organisation instead? That belongs with group travel management or an incentive travel programme.
Take as much or as little of it off your hands.
Stay only or self-drive
We secure the accommodation and meal plan for your dates and you make your own way there. Suited to Naivasha, Nanyuki and the coast if you are driving.
- Accommodation and meal plan requested for your exact dates
- Room configuration requested for your party, including children
- Directions, drive times and arrival guidance
Transport inclusive
Accommodation plus the way there and back, in whichever mode genuinely serves the destination. SGR or a flight for the coast, a private vehicle for Naivasha and Nanyuki, a flight for Dubai and Zanzibar.
- SGR, scheduled flight or private vehicle, whichever fits
- Airport or terminus transfers at both ends
- One coordinator holding the whole journey together
Complete getaway
Everything coordinated as one booking: stay, travel, transfers and the activities you want, with fees that sit outside the stay itemised clearly.
- Stay, travel, transfers and chosen activities in one quote
- Park, conservancy and marine park fees shown separately
- Visa support arranged where the destination requires it
Rates and availability are live-quoted for every path, because December inventory changes quickly. Park, conservancy and marine park fees are itemised separately from the stay.
Where Kenyan families and couples actually go in December.
Suggested trip lengths below are planning guidance drawn from how these trips usually run, not fixed packages. Everything is built around your dates.
Diani
The most requested festive beach week for families, and comfortable for couples on a shorter stay.
- Suggested length
- 4 to 7 nights sits best; 3 feels rushed once travel days are counted
- Getting there
- Flight to Ukunda, SGR to Mombasa with a transfer, private vehicle or self-drive
Mombasa, Nyali & Bamburi
Easiest coast trip with children of any age, and the widest choice of ways to get there.
- Suggested length
- 4 to 7 nights, with one half-day outing built in
- Getting there
- SGR, scheduled flight, private vehicle or self-drive
Watamu & Malindi
The quieter north coast: strong for couples, and for families who want reef water on the doorstep.
- Suggested length
- 5 to 7 nights, because the journey is longer
- Getting there
- Flight to Malindi, or SGR to Mombasa with an onward road transfer
Naivasha & the Rift Valley
For families with only a few days, and couples who want a lakeside stay without flying.
- Suggested length
- 2 to 3 nights, the shortest festive break from Nairobi
- Getting there
- Private vehicle with a driver, or self-drive with accommodation only
Nanyuki & Laikipia
Bush instead of beach, reachable by road, and a gentle first safari with children.
- Suggested length
- 3 to 5 nights, one activity a day
- Getting there
- Private vehicle with a driver, or self-drive with accommodation only
If you would rather leave the country for the holidays.
Dubai
December weather suits mixed ages, and there is enough for teenagers and grandparents alike.
- Suggested length
- 4 to 6 nights, with attractions spread out rather than stacked
- Getting there
- Direct flights from Nairobi, plus transfers and attraction bookings
Zanzibar
A beach base with something to explore, strong for couples and for families who want both.
- Suggested length
- 5 to 7 nights, or a split between Stone Town and a beach
- Getting there
- Short flight from Nairobi, with island transfers and guided outings
Both need flights, hotel and transfers coordinated together, and we handle any visa documentation alongside the booking.
Travelling as a family
The detail that decides whether a family trip works is rooming and travel-day length, not the brochure. Give us the ages and we plan around them.
- Adults, children and children's ages, so we request the right room or connecting-room configuration
- Child rates and child policies confirmed per property in writing, since they differ everywhere
- Meal plan chosen deliberately: all inclusive often works better with young children
- Travel days kept short, with the longest journey never on the last day
- Activities matched to ages, and quoted separately so you can drop any of them
Travelling as a couple
Shorter, quieter and better placed. Over the festive period the difference between a good couples trip and a crowded one is usually the stretch of coast and the dates.
- Quieter locations suggested first: Watamu, Malindi, Naivasha, Nanyuki
- Shorter stays built well rather than stretched to fill a week
- Dinners, dhow evenings and celebrations requested ahead of the festive rush
- Transfers arranged privately rather than shared, where you prefer
- Anniversary or proposal plans coordinated discreetly with the property
Prefer a safari over the holidays?
These are our existing itineraries rather than festive-specific trips. They work over December, and we quote them the same way.
Masai Mara
For travellers who want the classic Kenyan safari over the holidays rather than a beach.
- Suggested length
- 3 nights minimum for the drive or flight to be worth it
- Getting there
- Scheduled flight or private vehicle from Nairobi
Amboseli
Elephant herds and Kilimanjaro views, and a shorter drive than the Mara.
- Suggested length
- 2 to 3 nights
- Getting there
- Private vehicle or scheduled flight
Samburu
Quieter northern country for repeat safari travellers.
- Suggested length
- 3 nights
- Getting there
- Private vehicle or scheduled flight
For something built from scratch rather than adapted, see bespoke safaris in Kenya, or browse all tours and excursions.
