Incredible game viewing the whole family will love, coupled with comfortable lodging
Tanzania offers a huge scope of safari for families.
Depending on your tastes, preferences, ages and abilities we’ll help you choose from the wild game concessions in its lesser-known corners with authentic campaign-style camps, to action-packed game drives in the Serengeti. There is a lot of choice, and we can help put together a bespoke itinerary that fits you all perfectly.
From our experience, Tanzania is a country better suited to older families as the choices for young families here are quite limited given the remote locations, age restrictions at the accommodation, and the level of travelling involved with many of its destinations. Nevertheless, we have a great portfolio of family-friendly lodges, camps and villas in Tanzania that have kids clubs and special activities for younger children so please speak to one of our consultants.
Your personal safari designer will advise and recommend on the best places to stay and tours to be had as a family. They will shoulder the detailed planning and a personal itinerary organised to the highest of standards.
