Introduce your children to the magic of Africa in Tanzania — a land of shimmering lakes, sun-drenched beaches and, of course, phenomenal national parks. You’ll stay in luxurious family villas and tents, where every comfort is at hand, designing your days as you wish with a dedicated family safari team. From the never-ending Savannah of the Serengeti to the abundant wild things of the Ngorongoro Crater, revel in private game drives, learn to track mammals on land and develop a deep love of conservation. Top it all off in paradisical Zanzibar, with a range of family-friendly activities on the powder-white beaches of Paje.
Journey Highlights
Arrive at Tanzania to a warm A&K welcome and transfer privately to your luxury lodge.
Legendary Lodge | D
Journey by road to Tarangire National Park — home to humongous wild elephant herds and other iconic African wildlife — for a full-day family safari and a picnic lunch. Afterwards, settle into your luxury family safari tent. This evening, savour dinner under the stars, then gather around the campfire to share safari stories and sip hot chocolate.
Oliver’s Camp | Meals: BLD
Enjoy a full day on safari with a variety of activities for every age. You’ll have your own private family vehicle with views from every angle. Keep your eyes peeled for impala, eland, buffalo, giraffe, Bohor reedbuck, Coke’s hartebeest, Thompson’s gazelle, and on rare occasions, the fringe-eared oryx. You will also spot wildebeest, zebra, leopard, lion, hyena, and cheetah.

Today you’ll journey to the Ngorongoro Highlands, stopping enroute at a colourful local market and town. Cruise through the narrow tracks of the village of Mto wa Mbu just like a local in a tuk tuk (rickshaw), discovering how the locals grow their crops, build their houses and even brew their beer. After a delicious local lunch, continue to the Manyara Treetop Walkway for a sky-high adventure through the beautiful forest of Lake Manyara. Explore life in the canopy among butterflies, monkeys and birds, while your guide beguiles you with stories of the forest. Arrive at spectacular Gibbs Farm, which covers 80 acres on the forested slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater. Settle into your rustic-yet-luxurious cottage, the perfect retreat for families of all shapes and sizes.

Awaken to the sound of bird call and a delicious organic farm-to-table breakfast. With your expert guide at the helm, venture into the jewel-green forests and plains of the Ngorongoro Crater, home to a dazzling abundance of wildlife. Keep your camera and binoculars close for Africa’s iconic five, including wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, waterbuck, bushbuck, black rhino, the majestic black-maned lion, leopard, hippo and flamingo. On return to your lodge stop at a traditional Maasai village for a fascinating encounter with the vibrant tribe.
Gibb’s Farm | Meals: BLD
Spend a full day relaxing on the farm, with the freedom to explore 32 acres of sprawling land. There is a host of things to do for the whole family, from milking cows to collecting eggs, cooling off in the pool, painting with the resident artist, or exploring the coffee fields. Avid bird-lovers are encouraged to join the resident naturalist to observe over 200 species of bird. Perhaps, join in the banter as the farmhands go about their daily harvesting ritual. If you’re feeling active, take a pushbike through the local village or around the mountain range. And don’t forget to indulge generous helpings of scones with cream during afternoon tea in the garden.

Board a short flight to the world-famous Serengeti National Park. Namiri Retreat offers the perfect private space for families to absorb the experience together, with the flexibility of a dedicated chef to prepare special kiddie meals, and a private vehicle to enjoy game drives. The retreat features a sprawling veranda leading to a private firepit, perfect for soaking up the expansive views across the iconic Serengeti, as well as a swimming pool and lounge.
Namiri Retreat | Meals: BLD
Enjoy two days exploring the never-ending savannah, where more animals roam than almost any place on earth. The nearest other camps are over an hour’s drive away so you can experience the vast plains all to yourself. Each evening, your private guide will meet you by the fire to discuss a plan for the following day. The cool mornings and late afternoons are when wildlife is typically more active, making this the ideal time for walking safaris and game drives. Early afternoons, while the midday heat is still high, are ideal for poolside lounging, siestas or indulging a massage at the spa. Sundowners in the bush or at the fire present the perfect way to salute the day, before sitting down to a delicious dinner prepared by your chef.

Fly to the Spice Island of Zanzibar, and the spectacular white sandy beaches of Paje. At White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa, paradise is at your fingertips — and little guests are VIPs, too.

Children are welcome to explore the resort and stretch their imaginations with a range of activities, including kitesurfing, paddleboarding, snorkelling, kayaking and riding bikes. Adults can look forward to rest and recuperation at the spa and on the beach, with babysitting available for downtime.

Awake in paradise and spend three days enjoying Paje Beach as you wish. Perhaps take a kayak out on the water, enjoy a leisurely swim with a snorkel, or test your balance on a stand-up paddleboard. Paje is one of the best kitesurfing spots in the world and the dedicated water sports centre is ready to help you learn. Saddle up and ride bikes around the island, or simply hang back and indulge in the swimming pool. Visit a Spice farm to learn all about growing herbs and spices.
For an additional charge consider a range of excursions from your resort. Discover Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and a vibrant community of African, Indian and Muslim influence, cruise on a luxuriously renovated traditional boat (dhow) to a hidden sand bank, or venture out on a fishing expedition.
