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 Five safari destinations including the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, where unforgettable wildlife sightings are practically guaranteed (always a hit with kids!). What's more, Tanzania's long tropical coastline and the beaches and coral reefs of Zanzibar make this East African country a top choice for a family safari and beach break combined.
Taking children on safari can be tricky — many lodges have an age restriction for game drives, and finding activities that keep every member of the family happy is always a challenge. We take the hassle out of your holiday planning by putting together Tanzania family safaris that include not just phenomenal game viewing but other great activities too, such as mountain biking, camping in the Serengeti, playing football with local kids, and visiting a school to exchange ideas and make new friends.
We carefully select safari lodges and tented camps that specialise in families — trained staff, plenty to do, child-friendly menus, and sporting and cultural exchanges. To avoid long distances and grumpy kids on bumpy roads, our family safaris can fly you between lodges and camps, each set in magnificent locations across Tanzania's top reserves.
Browse our range of safaris and tours, and if you don't see exactly what you're looking for, contact one of our safari specialists and we'll tailor-make an itinerary that ensures everyone has an unbelievable time — from the birding-obsessed parent to the lion-obsessed junior.
