This family safari takes you on a journey through Tanzania’s most famous attractions – the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, and Zanzibar! It’s one of our most popular family safaris, with great rates for children and a diverse range of activities.

The trip includes some excellent family-friendly properties where children aged under 12 years are offered great rates! You’ll start at The Plantation Lodge. With a lovely location just outside the town of Karatu, the lodge is a brilliant base from which to visit the Ngorongoro Crater. Next up is Lemala Mara Tented Camp, which is situated on the Mara river and moves around the Serengeti to bring you the best of the animal action! And finally, you’ll head to Breezes Beach Club, one of the best resorts on Zanzibar, with everything you need to end your trip in laidback beach style.

While you’re staying at The Plantation Lodge, you’ll drive to the Ngorongoro Crater for a classic Big Five vehicle safari! The lodge also offers plenty of on-site experiences, such as guided walks among coffee plantations and farm visits. Once at Lemala Mara, the focus of your adventures is following the huge herds of the Great Migration on expertly guided game drives! The camp also specialises in children’s activities. After all the safari action, you can get stuck in to all sorts of watersports from Breezes, not least diving and snorkelling. An exciting variety of island excursions is available too.
