  • Embark on an unforgettable 5-day Tanzania family safari, designed to delight both adults and children. This compact yet immersive adventure takes you through Tarangire National Park, the iconic Serengeti plains, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, offering the perfect balance of wildlife encounters, educational experiences, and family-friendly relaxation.

Overview:

  • A Rijay Africa Travel representative will meet you and pick you up at Kilimanjaro or Arusha Airport and begin the journey to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most family-friendly parks due to its relatively short distances and abundant wildlife.

  • Afternoon game drive allows families to spot elephants in large herds, giraffes browsing acacia trees, zebras grazing, and sometimes lions and leopards.

Why it’s great for families:

  • Short game drives (kids aren’t in the car for hours).

  • Easy-to-see wildlife, which keeps children excited and engaged.

  • Safe roads with professional guides who provide explanations tailored to children.

Lodging:

  • Family-friendly tented camp or lodge with private family rooms.

  • Some camps offer small pools or safe play areas for kids.

Overview:

  • Morning: Another Tarangire game drive for any wildlife missed the day before.

  • Midday: Drive to Serengeti National Park, home to iconic African plains and the Big Five.

  • Afternoon: Light game drive or time to settle into the family and friendly lodge or camp.

Park highlights:

  • Open savannahs with predictable sightings of zebras, wildebeests, and gazelles, easy for children to spot and photograph.

  • Seasonal wildebeest migration (if timed correctly) can be an unforgettable experience.

Lodging:

  • Comfortable tented camps or lodges designed for families. Some offer suites or tents that accommodate 3–4 people comfortably.

Overview:

  • Early morning game drive: Big Five viewing opportunities, including lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinoceroses.

  • Afternoon game drive: Focus on smaller wildlife (cheetahs, hyenas, birds, monkeys), educational for children.

  • Optional family picnic in scenic areas, creating memorable shared experiences.

Family-focused highlights:

  • Guides explain wildlife behavior in simple, engaging language for children.

  • Children can participate in wildlife spotting games — fun and educational.

  • Short, manageable drives ensure kids stay comfortable and alert.

Overview:

  • Morning drive to Ngorongoro Highlands, famous for the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world.

  • Afternoon optional activities:

    • Visit Maasai village for child-friendly cultural immersion.

    • Short, safe hikes for families (crater rim walk or viewpoints).

Park highlights:

  • Ngorongoro Crater offers high density of wildlife in a relatively small area — easy for children to see multiple species in one game drive.

  • Rhinos, lions, elephants, and flamingos are commonly spotted.

  • Scenic viewpoints for family photos and sunset watching.

Lodging:

  • Lodge with crater views, family suites, and safe outdoor areas for children.

Overview:

  • Early morning descent into the crater for a family-friendly game drive.

  • Opportunity to spot all Big Five animals, as well as hippos, hyenas, and abundant birdlife.

  • Afternoon: Transfer back to Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport for departure.

Why it’s suitable for kids:

  • Short, guided drives, plenty of opportunities for photos and learning.
