Tanzania Family Vacation

Experience the exhilaration of safari and the relaxation of Indian Ocean beaches

The family holiday of a lifetime

Experience the exhilaration of safari and the relaxation of Indian Ocean beaches on a memory-making family adventure.

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.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
