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