Fab for families with children aged 8 years and older, this trip features some highly exclusive properties! You’ll go on safari in Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, before ending with a big beach break on Zanzibar.

The itinerary involves some of Tanzania’s most iconic sites and features properties that focus on a diversity of activities for children. It combines Big Five game viewing and the Great Migration with the stunning Indian Ocean coastline of Zanzibar. From July through to October, the North Serengeti witnesses the famous Great Migration river crossings, when huge herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles brave the park’s croc-infested waters. We have included some excellent family-friendly properties, where youngsters aged 8–12 years are offered great rates!

You’ll stay at three fantastic properties – Gibb’s Farm, Lamai Serengeti, and Baraza Resort & Spa. Pleasantly situated among coffee plantations on the edge of the Ngorongoro hills, Gibb’s is a superb base from which to explore both Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater. Next up, Lamai provides exceptionally good game viewing from a remote location in the northern part of the Serengeti N.P. And finally, you’ll fly out to Baraza, for watersports, land sports, and some laidback beach time!

Days 3-6 Serengeti

On Day 3 of your trip, you’ll return to Lake Manyara Airport and fly to the Serengeti’s Kogatende Airstrip (1hr 15 mins). You’ll have a shared road transfer to Lamai Serengeti, which will be your base for excursions into the famous national park to view a wealth of wildlife! Your accommodation will be the standard room option, with the family room available on request. The standard here is very luxurious, and each room flows out onto a private deck. The camp’s communal spaces include comfortable lounges and a sparkling swimming pool! During your stay, you’ll have ample opportunities to go on guided game drives in the North Serengeti. This is a superb safari destination throughout the year, although please note that the camp is closed during April and May. Our recommended months are July through to October, as this period sees the astonishing Great Migration river crossings – huge herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles hurtle through swift-flowing waters in their search for good grazing. Impressive concentrations of predators are at large too, and there’s lots of birdlife!
