Tanzania Family Safaris

Experience the Wonders of the Wild on Your Tanzania Family Safari Adventure

They’ve seen the movie, they know the soundtrack, now it’s time to travel to Africa and introduce your kids to the real thing on a Tanzania family safari.

Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s best known wildlife reserves; classic Big 5 safari destinations including the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater where you're guaranteed unforgettable sightings of wild animals (always a hit with kids!). What's more, Tanzania's long tropical coastline and the beaches and coral reefs of Zanzibar make this East Africa country a top choice for a family safari and beach break.

Creating Unforgettable Family Memories in Tanzania: Making Safaris Work for Little Ones

Taking children on safari can be tricky. Many lodges have an age restriction for game drives, and finding activities that will keep all members of the family happy is always a challenge. We've taken the hassle out of your holiday planning by putting together Tanzania family safaris that not only include phenomenal game viewing but other great activities too such as mountain biking, camping in Africa's greatest wilderness – the Serengeti – playing soccer with the local kids, and visiting a school to exchange ideas and make new friends.
