Where to go for Tanzania family safari

 The Serengeti is synonymous with vast, open plains and the iconic Great Migration. It’s a dream destination for families seeking to witness the natural spectacle of millions of wildebeests, zebras, and other animals on the move. Imagine the awe on your kids’ faces as they spot elephants, lions, cheetahs, and giraffes roaming freely. Family-friendly accommodations range from luxurious lodges to more adventurous tented camps, ensuring comfort and safety for all.

Ngorongoro Crater

This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a unique safari experience within a natural wonder. The crater’s enclosed ecosystem houses a dense concentration of wildlife, making it perfect for a day-long safari adventure. Families can encounter the Big Five within the crater’s confines, creating lasting memories against the breathtaking backdrop of this ancient volcanic caldera.

Tarangire National Park

 Known for its impressive elephant herds and diverse birdlife, Tarangire is an excellent choice for families seeking a quieter safari experience. Picture your kids’ faces lighting up as they witness herds of elephants meandering through the park. The park’s serenity, away from the crowds, provides a more intimate connection with nature for families exploring the African wilderness together.

Lake Manyara National Park

 With its varied landscapes, including lush forests, open plains, and the shimmering alkaline lake, Lake Manyara is an ideal family safari destination. Spotting the famed tree-climbing lions can be an exciting adventure for the kids. The park’s shorter game drives accommodate younger children while offering unique wildlife encounters and stunning scenery for the whole family.

Selous Game Reserve

 For families seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure, Selous Game Reserve is a hidden gem. As one of Africa’s largest reserves, it offers diverse activities beyond traditional game drives. Families can explore the reserve through boat safaris, walking safaris, and standard game drives, providing a rich and varied safari experience for everyone.

How much does a Tanzania Family safari cost?

The cost of a Tanzania family safari can vary significantly based on several factors, including the duration of the trip, the level of accommodation, the number of people in the family, the specific destinations visited, the time of year, and the activities included in the itinerary.

As a rough estimate, a mid-range Tanzania family safari can start from around $3,000 to $6,000 per person for a 7-10 day trip. This cost typically covers accommodations, meals, transportation within the country (such as flights or ground transport between parks), park fees, and guided safaris.

For a more luxurious or exclusive experience, prices can range from $6,000 to $15,000 or more per person, especially if opting for high-end lodges or private safaris with customized itineraries and additional amenities.

It’s crucial to consider that these are approximate figures and can vary based on numerous factors, including the safari company chosen, the season (high or low), the specific services included, and any personalized requests or add-ons to the itinerary.

When planning a Tanzania family safari, it’s advisable to discuss your preferences and budget with safari operators or travel agencies. They can tailor the trip to suit your family’s needs while providing a clearer understanding of the costs involved. Additionally, keep in mind that some safaris might offer discounts for children or have special family packages available.
