Family Safari Tanzania

Tanzania is a wonderful place for a family safari. A few changes to the usual adult itinerary make it much more enjoyable for everyone.

Slow the Pace

Long drives can tire children quickly. Shorter game drives and a proper rest at camp in the middle of the day matter more than covering lots of ground.

Parks Children Love

Tarangire's elephant herds and the busy crater floor at Ngorongoro keep young travelers engaged better than long drives across empty plains.

Check the Lodges

Some camps have minimum ages, especially for walking safaris or certain luxury lodges. We check this for every property when we plan your trip.

Health and Safety

The usual travel precautions apply, with extra care for sun protection and drinking water for younger travelers. Our yellow fever guide explains entry health rules for travelers of all ages.

Set Expectations Early

Tell children beforehand that some drives are quiet and others are amazing. Wild animals keep their own schedule, and knowing that in advance makes the exciting moments even better.
