Tanzania Family Safari FAQs
- Serengeti National Park - home to the largest lion population in Africa, the Serengeti National Park is well-known for its concentration of wildlife. Here, you and your family have the chance to spot the ‘Big 5’ and during the right time of year (between July and October), you can also witness the ‘Great Migration’ which sees over 2 million wildebeest, gazelles and zebras journey to find better pasture. School holidays couldn’t come at a more ideal time!
- Selous Game Reserve - quieter than the Northern wildlife parks, Selous Game Reserve offers a more remote, truly ‘wild’ Tanzania family safari experience. It is the largest game reserve in Africa and you will even have the opportunity to see a wild dog. Whilst you may not spot wildlife in the high numbers you’d find in other parks, you’ll really feel at one with nature and can even enjoy boating safaris on the rivers.
- Ngorongoro Crater - the world’s biggest inactive and intact volcanic caldera, Ngoronogro Crater is simply beautiful. With over 25,000 animals such as black rhinos, zebras, lions and hippos waiting for you to spot them, this is a hotspot for safari tours. Nearby are local communities for you to visit and plenty of stunning walking trails.
Whilst we don’t recommend taking children below the age of six years on a safari, it is possible to bring along babies and toddlers on safaris. That said, many safari camps and tour operators may have age restrictions in place.
We advise families to consider the ages of the children they wish to bring as inevitably this could impact the overall experience for the whole family. It’s also important to consider malaria prophylactics to ensure everyone is kept safe.
Tanzania is a fantastic place to visit with your family. With rich cultures to immerse yourselves into and a wealth of wildlife to discover, Tanzania is the perfect destination which can blend learning and adventure together!
With so many other activities to get involved with when you’re not on an action-packed Tanzania family safari, such as exploring colourful markets and relaxing on the sandy beaches of Zanzibar, you’ll be able to please everyone in the group!
If you’re planning a Tanzania family safari, you may be wondering how long flights will be if you’re travelling with children. From the US, you should expect anywhere between 18 - 25 hours. From the UK, flights to Tanzania take approximately 12 hours and it’s worth noting that there may be stops or flight changes on route for both countries.
When travelling to Tanzania with your family, you may need to have vaccinations that will protect you from some diseases which are not found in the UK, USA, Canada or Australia (for example, hepatitis A & B, yellow fever and typhoid). To find out more about which vaccinations you and your family may need, take a look at the NHS travel vaccinations webpage or feel free to contact us for advice. It is also recommended that you see your GP at least 8 weeks prior to you travelling as some vaccinations will need to be given in advance to work effectively.
Tanzania is a country of beauty which is rich in traditions and cultural heritage, as well as being home to diverse wildlife and the famous Mount Kilimanjaro. When planning a Tanzania family safari, you may wish to explore outside of the safari parks - we can tell you, you won’t be disappointed! Here are some family-friendly activities you can try whilst on holiday in Tanzania:
- Discover Tanzania by bike - why not hire some bikes for your family and ride through villages and other beauty spots. One great place you could cycle around is Lake Manyara; with its flocks of flamingos and luscious aquatic landscapes, this national park makes for stunning views.
- Visit the Meserani snake and Maasai cultural museum - Offering a chance to see some venomous snakes (safely!) and learn more about the maasai culture, this museum makes for a great day out for families.
- Have a beach day - after all the excitement of a safari, you and your family can kick back and relax on one of Tanzania’s sandy beaches. You can even choose to spend some time on one of Tanzania’s islands, including the blissful Zanzibar which has magnificent snorkelling spots!
- Shop at the local markets and pick up some souvenirs - Why not pick out something which has been handmade locally to help you and your family remember the trip of a lifetime?
