Safari Overview

Children remember what they did as much as what they saw. This itinerary adds canoeing, walking and cultural activity to the wildlife, so the days have variety built in.

Most families add Zanzibar at the end; we can quote the safari with or without it.

  • Cultural time that children genuinely engage with
  • A beach finish available on the same booking

Safari Highlights

  • Canoe safari and forest walk in Arusha National Park
  • Maasai community visit suited to families
  • Serengeti and Ngorongoro highlights
  • Optional four-night Zanzibar beach extension

Destinations

This safari visits Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar (optional).

Day-by-Day Itinerary

  1. You are met on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your lodge in Arusha. Your guide joins you for a full safari briefing, and the rest of the day is yours to rest and adjust after your flight.

  2. A full day of guided exploration with your private vehicle and guide, shaped around wildlife activity, light and your own pace.

  3. We drive through Maasai grazing land to Tarangire National Park, a landscape of enormous baobabs and a permanent river that draws great herds of elephant. Game drives follow the river valley, with excellent chances of lion, giraffe and a remarkable variety of birds.

  6. The Serengeti opens out in front of you: short-grass plains, granite kopjes and horizon in every direction. We spend the day tracking predators and plains game with your guide, pausing for a picnic lunch in the shade before the light softens into a golden afternoon drive.

  9. We descend more than 600 metres onto the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, a contained world of grassland, forest and soda lake. The density of wildlife here is extraordinary — lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo and flamingo, with a genuine chance of black rhino.

  10. You fly to Zanzibar and transfer to your beach hotel. Days here are yours to shape: reef snorkelling, a spice farm visit, a walk through Stone Town's carved doorways, or nothing more demanding than the shade of a palm.
