Tanzania Family Safari

Tanzania is one of Africa’s classic safari destinations, and it’s fantastic for families. With some of the most iconic landscapes on the continent, from the vast Serengeti plains to the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater, it’s the kind of place where stories are born - the ones you’ll be telling around the dinner table for years to come.

The famous Northern Circuit makes for an incredible guided road trip, linking world-class parks like Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. Expect days packed with wildlife sightings that will thrill the kids - lion, giraffe, elephant - and evenings gathered around the campfire under star-filled skies.

In the south, parks like Nyerere (formerly Selous) and Ruaha offer a wilder, more off-grid experience, ideal for older children and teenagers looking for something a little more adventurous, with a real sense of space and freedom.

Wherever you go, Tanzania’s warmth shines through. It’s a hugely welcoming country, and many camps cater brilliantly for families, offering larger tents, kid-friendly meals, and guides who know exactly how to keep younger safari-goers engaged. Days can be as active or as relaxed as you like, and with your own private guide, everything moves at your pace.

Safety is understandably a top priority for parents, and our specialists are here to provide expert guidance and peace of mind. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the fun, and because we know which camps work best for different age groups, you'll get tailored advice from the very first conversation.

After the thrill of the bush, unwind on the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar or the mainland coast. Here, you’ll find warm, shallow waters perfect for paddling or snorkelling, relaxed boutique resorts, and the chance to slow down and enjoy some well-earned rest. For those craving a bit more action, there’s plenty to dip into, including kayaking, diving and spice tours.

A family safari in Tanzania isn’t just about seeing wild animals, it’s about discovering a whole new world together. It’s the joy on your child’s face as they spot their first elephant. It’s the stillness of the savannah at sunrise. It’s time away from screens and routines, connecting with nature, and with each other.

Our Tanzania specialists know Kenya inside out and understand the unique needs of travelling families. Whether it’s your first safari or your fifth, we’ll help you plan a trip that’s adventurous, enriching, and full of special moments.
