This trip involves the best of green-season safari! You’ll visit Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, before heading to Zanzibar for a beach break. We’ve chosen properties that offer great rates for kids and lots of activities.

The itinerary takes you to three fantastic properties – The Plantation Lodge, Lemala Ndutu, and Breezes Beach Club & Spa. With a lovely location just outside the town of Karatu, The Plantation Lodge is a brilliant base for checking out both Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater. Lemala Ndutu is situated in the Southern Serengeti around the Ndutu Plains, ideally positioned for the Great Migration calving season at the beginning of every year. Finally, Breezes Beach Club is 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 Ndutu, 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.
