8 Days Tanzania Family Safari

Upon arrival at the airport (Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport), your personal driver-guide or our representative will meet you. From here, you will be driven to your accommodation in Arusha for an overnight stay, waiting for your adventures to start the following day.

In the morning, you will be collected from your lodging in Arusha by our personal safari guide. We set out for Tarangire National Park on a good tarmac road across gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along, we pass many Maasai in their colorful dress walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle and driving donkey’s carts.

Tarangire National Park, well known for its large elephant herds, is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of our state-of-the-art safari Jeep, we experience the seasonal swamps, savannah and life-giving Tarangire River. We endeavor to encounter a multitude of creatures, from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few. It is possible we will glimpse lions stalking prey or watch leopards, relaxing in the trees above.

You will drive to one of our carefully selected luxury partner lodges for dinner in a tasteful restaurant and a pool at hand to soothe us.

After breakfast, you will drive to Serengeti National Park. This drive will take you through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area so you can view the Ngorongoro Crater on the way. This drive will take around six hours depending on the game on the way because sometimes there is a high concentration of game on the southern plains. You may have a chance to stop at the Ndutu area, depending on the time. You will stop for a picnic lunch on the way, then proceed to your lodge with a game drive en route, arriving in the evening.

Full day wildlife drive in the Serengeti national park with picnic lunch. Diner and overnight at Sanctuary Kusini / Ndutu Safari Lodge.
But there is more to Serengeti than large mammals. A full 100 varieties of dung beetle have been recorded, as have more than four-hundred bird species, ranging from the outsizes ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the Serengeti plains area.

Today, we leave at 7:30am and drive to the Kilimanjaro region. We pass through Kishumundu villages and reach the highlands of Materuni village. There, we hike for about 45 minutes to see a beautiful waterfall. After that, we learn about making coffee and enjoy some local food.

Then, we head to Chemka Hot Springs. You can relax in the warm water and even swim with doctor fish, which gives a free pedicure! Finally, we drop you off at the airport.

After a breakfast we will pick you from your hotel and drop you at the Airport.
