A private safari gives you the freedom to travel at your own pace — perfect for families, couples and groups of friends. You have your own vehicle and guide, so game drives can be as long or as short as you like, with time for swimming pools, picnic lunches and afternoon naps.
Why Tanzania is great for families
- Short drives between parks on the northern circuit
- Lodges with family rooms, pools and kids' activities
- Abundant wildlife that keeps younger travellers engaged
- Cultural visits to Maasai villages and local schools
- Easy to combine with a relaxing Zanzibar beach stay
Tips for safari with children
Children of all ages are welcome on a private safari, although some camps have minimum ages for game walks. We recommend 4 to 6 days for first-time family safaris and choosing lodges inside or close to the parks to keep driving times short.
