Safari Overview

Family safaris fail when they are run like adult safaris with children attached. This one is built the other way round — shorter drives, afternoons at the pool, and a guide briefed on your children's ages and interests.

Lodges are chosen for family rooms, safe grounds and food that works for everyone.

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. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.
