Travel with kids, Tanzania family safaris

Family Safaris in Tanzania

A safari holiday is one of the most breathtaking and worthwhile trips you can do with your children. Just visualize their terms the first time they see a real lion, giraffe or elephant, or their excitement the first time they enter your safari tent to find it complete with beds and a bathroom rather than a classic camping tent in the garden. Luckily all of our Tanzania Luxury safaris are family-friendly due to minimization of driving distance and comfortability of our safari vehicle, Lodges as well as the great arrangement of the day game drive by our safari guides.

Trips with under-fives children

If you are travelling with children under five, the key thing is choosing a malaria-free safari destination.

Tanzania safari tours are an option as areas are malaria-free. Though the flight to Tanzania may take up to 10 hours from your country, also there may be time difference so all our Family safari tours arranged with one night of rest in Arusha after your arrival. It is also possible to do self-drive in Tanzania but from our experience, it is not so friendly because you need someone who knows the areas, and kids will enjoy much more.
