Tanzania offers great and memorable opportunities for family safaris. It is a fantastic destination for wildlife loving youngsters as of the age of 6. We would not recommend travelling with children under 6 years. The Northern Safari Circuit with its sheer concentration of wildlife is hard to beat! Nyerere National Park in Tanzania’s southern region is worth considering too. Combining your wildlife safari with a beach break at Zanzibar would make the experience unforgettable.
Throughout the country, many properties are well set up and equipped to host families. Often, they have family rooms or interconnected rooms. Additionally, some lodges have swimming pools and larger communal areas. Ajubatus Safaris is more than happy to advise you about the most children-friendly accommodations, and activities. Also, we can advise you on the best itinerary to make the safari unforgettable for the young ones as well.
The Serengeti – from witnessing the Great Migration to catching sight of the big cats that follow the herds, you and your children will be mesmerized by this national park every time you set off on a traditional game drive!
The Ngorongoro Crater – the views from the Crater rim are sure to have you and your little ones gasping with awe. Well worth a visit for the scenic vistas alone, the Crater is also steeped in history, so the kids can enjoy a little learning as you cruise along the caldera floor.
Zanzibar – you can’t beat family time spent on the beach, and that’s why we recommend a few days’ post-safari along the white sandy beaches of Zanzibar.
Family game drives in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are special. Since, with Ajubatus Safaris you will have your private vehicle and Driver Guide, you will be able to do the game drives at your own pace, that suits your family best. Also, you will be able to explore the wildlife well away from the crowds.
Some of the parks in the Northern Safari Circuit have the opportunity of a walking safari, while some properties provide safari activities for youngsters – tracking, making bows-and-arrows, and going on walks around the camp with staff. There’s always something to look at close to camp, from birds to smaller mammals, and the staff are great at entertaining children.
Zanzibar offers plenty of things to do too, such as playing on the beach, trying a few watersports, and taking trips to spice farms, Jozani Forest, and tortoise-rich Prison Island.
The experienced staff of Ajubatus Safaris is more than happy to develop a children-friendly itinerary, which makes this safari a lifetime memory for all family members.
