Tanzania Family Safari (9n) – Value

On Day 1 of your family trip, you will fly out to Tanzania and transfer by road to Tloma Lodge. This property has a commanding position on the Ngorongoro Crater’s eastern wall. It overlooks a coffee plantation, as well as its own garden grounds. Built in the colonial style, the main lodge is spacious, with a very comfy dining room and lounge. Outside, there is a big swimming pool, perfect for a splash-about! The guest accommodation at Tloma includes four interconnecting rooms. All have big beds, mosquito nets, a fireplace, well-appointed en-suite facilities, and a private veranda with amazing views of the Ngorongoro Highlands! From the lodge, you can enjoy guided walks in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, guided farm walks, village walks, and a trip to the local waterfall.

Board basis and activities:
Full-board accommodation including all meals, soft drinks, a collection of house alcoholic drinks, and a laundry service.

For the next part of your safari, you will fly to the Serengeti! In this outstanding national park, you will spend two nights at mobile camp Lemala Mara. Open during the Great Migration months, from July through to November, this property is both adventurous and comfortable. It has breathtaking views over a well-known wildebeest crossing point, so even before you set off on game drives you will see plenty of animal action! As well as the huge herds of herbivores, there are loads of predators too. We have chosen this property for our family trip as it has the very cool ‘Lemala Cubs Club’, with lots of ace activities for children. These include spotting the local wildlife with the help of a handy checklist, enjoying archery in the camp’s grounds, and taking part in nature walks around camp with the local Maasai! Lemala also has an excellent family tent, which can sleep up to two adults and three children.

Board basis and activities:
Fully inclusive of meals, selected house alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, and a laundry service.

The final few days of your holiday are spent on Zanzibar, at Pongwe Beach Hotel. This property is an all-time favourite at YZ, due to its laidback vibe and beautiful location! It is situated on Zanzibar’s palm-lined east coast, just an hour or so from the airport. All main areas are comfy, with a relaxed atmosphere. You can sit back and enjoy views of the lush gardens, or have fun playing in the Hotel’s spacious swimming pool! It is also great to be so close to the beach, where you can build sandcastles, sunbathe, and enjoy a dip in the sparkling turquoise waters. Pongwe’s guest accommodation includes triple and quadruple rooms, ideal for families. As well as messing about on the beach, you can go snorkelling and cycling! Trips are available too – to Stone Town, the village of Ras Nungwi, and the mysterious Jozani Forest.
