Family safari holidays in Tanzania

Famous for lion prides in the Serengeti, the pristine beaches of Zanzibar, and it's friendly people, families with a good sense of adventure can enjoy an exciting safari in Tanzania.

Tanzania is a ten hour flight from the UK, but with only a two hour time difference, so is easily accessible without worries about jet-lagged youngsters. We would suggest children aged 7 years and older will get the most out of a safari, and there are a number of camps which welcome children and have facilities such as swimming pools for hot days.

Activity highlights include learning about and spotting the Big 5 on safari, meeting the Maasai, trying your hand at traditional line fishing, snorkelling in the warm Indian Ocean, and activities such as beach volleyball on Zanzibar.
