At Serengeti Mufasa Tours, we understand that family travel requires a special touch. Our team of expert safari guides is experienced in working with families and creating itineraries that are both engaging and relaxing. Here’s why families choose us for their Tanzania family safari:
Tanzania is home to some of the world’s most iconic wildlife destinations, and many of these are ideal for family safaris. Here are some of the best places in Tanzania that we recommend for families:
The Serengeti is a must-visit for any safari, offering dramatic landscapes and abundant wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, and the famous wildebeest migration. It is one of the best family safari destinations in Tanzania. With vast open plains and exciting wildlife viewing, children and adults alike will be captivated by the experience.
Families can enjoy game drives where wildlife encounters are around every corner, and younger travelers will love the Junior Ranger programs, where they can learn about conservation, tracking animals, and the natural world. Whether you’re staying in a luxury lodge or a tented camp, Serengeti offers family-friendly accommodations that ensure comfort after a day of exploration.
The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is an exceptional destination for a family safari in Tanzania. Known as the “Garden of Eden,” the crater is a natural wonder, home to an incredible concentration of wildlife. The crater floor is a perfect place to spot the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino—all in one place.
With its gentle, sloping hills and relatively short drives within the crater, Ngorongoro is a fantastic option for families with young children or those looking for a more relaxed safari experience. The Ngorongoro Crater Lodge offers luxurious family accommodations with spectacular views, ideal for winding down after a day of wildlife viewing.
Tarangire National Park is known for its massive herds of elephants, as well as its diverse landscapes, including baobab trees, rivers, and woodlands. A safari in Tarangire is a great way for families to enjoy wildlife watching in a slightly quieter, less crowded environment compared to other parks.
This park is particularly great for families who enjoy nature walks and educational activities. Our guides will help children and adults alike understand the unique ecosystems of Tarangire, including the different species of birds, plants, and wildlife. Families can also enjoy private game drives, giving you a more intimate and flexible experience.
Lake Manyara National Park offers a mix of diverse landscapes, from dense forests to the famous soda ash lake, and is renowned for its tree-climbing lions. A safari here provides plenty of opportunities for family-friendly activities, including canoeing safaris and bird watching, with over 400 bird species in the park.
This park is ideal for families with younger children, as it offers easy access to wildlife viewing and unique experiences like nature walks with a guide. The park also features family-friendly lodges with pools, allowing families to relax in comfort between safari excursions.
A family safari in Tanzania is not just about observing wildlife. It’s also about making meaningful memories and learning together. Here are some family-oriented activities that are included in many of our family safari itineraries:
Our safari vehicles are designed for comfort, with ample space for families. Guided game drives offer opportunities to see Africa’s iconic wildlife up close and to learn about conservation efforts.
Explore the African wilderness on foot with a trained guide, perfect for children who love to ask questions about plants, animals, and insects. It’s a safe and educational way to experience Tanzania’s nature.
Introduce your children to Tanzania’s rich cultures through visits to local Maasai villages, or engage with other indigenous communities like the Hadzabe tribe and Datoga people, learning about their traditions and lifestyle.
