A 13 Days Tanzania Family Highlight Safari is the perfect way to bind families together in shared gratitude and wonder. No matter your age, these delightful memories will last a lifetime and also strengthen family bonds. By retelling stories from both positive experiences and challenging times, families build lasting connections. Children, in particular, love Africa, and it loves them in return! As parents and grandparents share Tanzania’s wildlife and culture with their children, the experience becomes enriching. Not only will you immerse yourselves in the beauty of the land, but you will also share their enthusiasm for new wonders. Children will learn and grow through firsthand contact with the fabulous creatures, places, and cultures they had previously only seen in pictures.
However, certain concerns may arise, but we will help you overcome them. First and foremost, health is a consideration. With proper guidance on necessary vaccinations, improved insect repellents, and mosquito net accommodations, you can travel without worry. Furthermore, malaria prophylactics will offer additional protection, ensuring peace of mind. For early mornings and evenings, warm clothes are important due to higher altitudes. Additionally, ensuring convenient and comfortable transport for both older and younger family members is crucial. You must also select suitable accommodation. Depending on your budget, you can opt for large, popular tourist spots or choose more secluded locations. Many family camps and lodges provide family tents or suites, and fully staffed private villas and bush houses are available too.
This safari adventure will take you to Tanzania’s famous northern parks, including Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara National Park. Afterward, you will enjoy some downtime and relaxation on the breathtaking island of Zanzibar.

You will be met and transferred by road to Arusha Coffee Lodge, tucked away on a coffee plantation on the outskirts of Arusha, the small frontier town with a big reputation as the safari capital of Tanzania. There are many attractions to lure you away from the Lodge’s delightful gardens and charming, personal service. A day trip to Arusha National Park, with its majestic views of Mount Kilimanjaro, is highly recommended as are a stroll around the Natural History Museum and a visit to the 3.5-million-year-old Leatoli Footprints.

Experience Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro is a place of rare wonders as its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site confers. Formed by a massive volcanic eruption, the world’s largest intact and un-flooded caldera provides a year-round home to an astonishing 25,000 large mammals including black rhino, wildebeest and zebra along with Africa’s densest concentrations of lion. The Crater's forests shelter elephant and buffalo, its wetlands are home to hippos and flamingos while hyena, wild dog, leopard and cheetah make up the full range of predators. After a leisurely breakfast from your hotel, drive into the Ngorongoro highlands and descend into the crater, one of the few places in Africa where the Big 5 can be seen in a single game drive! After a full day of safari and a delicious picnic lunch on the crater plains, return to the lodge for sundowners over the camp fire before a sumptuous dinner.

Day 6-8
Wonderous Serengeti
After breakfast overlooking the lush gardens filled with zebra, a short flight from Lake Manyara airstrip takes you to the rolling grasslands known to the local Maasai as Siringet - ‘a vast land that runs forever, where endless plains meet the sky’ - and Tanzania's first game reserve, the Serengeti National Park. One of the oldest ecosystems on Earth. An excellent all-year-round game-viewing destination, the Serengeti is of course the setting for the great wildebeest migration. Sweeping across the Serengeti grasslands between November and July, the wildebeest herds create a spectacle that attracts predators from near and far. You are guaranteed heart-in-mouth game viewing, not least during the notorious June and July river crossings. On arrival at Seronera airstrip, your guide will be waiting to game drive you to your camp in the central area of the park, Serengeti Sametu Camp. From the first sunray that glistens across the grassland into the sophisticated suites to the crackling campfire singing with the nightlife, The Serengeti Sametu camp offers your experience the perfect balance between a safari in the wild and the comfort of luxury hospitalities. Intentionally situated in a secluded part of the eastern edge of Central Serengeti, a fairly small distance from the Ngare Nanyuki River, our luxury boutique accommodation never ceases to gift you with an endless horizon silhouetted by grazing wildebeest, zebra, and various antelope species, as well as several hundred bird species gliding from one acacia tree to the next in search for suitable nesting space.
