Family Safari

Shorter drives, flexible mornings and guides who are genuinely good with children — built around families rather than adapted for them.

Day by day.

  1. 1

    Arrival and Arusha National Park

    We collect you and head straight to Arusha National Park for a short game drive and, if the group is up to it, a guided walk with a ranger among giraffe and buffalo. Overnight in Arusha.

  2. 2

    Arusha to Tarangire

    A two-and-a-half hour drive, lunch, then an afternoon game drive looking for elephant. Overnight near the park, with a pool.

  3. 3

    Tarangire at your pace

    A morning game drive, then the afternoon free at the lodge. Long days in a vehicle are the fastest way to lose a child's interest, so we build in a break. Overnight near Tarangire.

  4. 4

    Lake Manyara to Karatu

    Manyara's forest, with baboon and blue monkey troops that children reliably enjoy, then up to Karatu. Overnight in Karatu.

  5. 5

    Ngorongoro Crater

    A dawn descent into the crater for a morning game drive with a picnic lunch, then back up to Karatu. Overnight in Karatu.

  6. 6

    Return to Arusha

    A relaxed start and the drive back down to Arusha or the airport.
