Tanzania Family Safari Holidays

A family safari works best when it is planned around the ages and energy of your children. We choose shorter drives, family rooms and activities that keep everyone interested.

Why Tanzania is the perfect destination for families

Tanzania offers wildlife that children remember for life, from elephants and giraffes to lions on the plains. Guides are used to explaining animals to young visitors, and many lodges have pools and relaxed schedules.

How to experience northern Tanzania with children

The Northern Circuit has shorter distances between Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro, so children spend less time in the vehicle. We can add the Serengeti with a flight to keep transfers short.

Family-friendly adventures

Besides game drives, we can add a cultural visit, a bush breakfast, swimming at the lodge or a few days on Zanzibar. A shorter first game drive helps younger children settle in.

  • Game drives with a private vehicle
  • Cultural visits and village walks
  • Pool time at the lodge
  • A beach stay on Zanzibar

What is a flying safari?

A flying safari uses short flights between parks instead of long road transfers. It suits families with children who find long drives hard, and it gives more time at the destination.

What age is recommended for children?

There is no single age that fits every family. Each lodge and park sets its own rules, and some camps accept only older children or offer special family arrangements.

Tell us your children's ages when you enquire and we will choose lodges and activities that welcome them.
