Truly Wild Tanzania for Families

Fly overnight from London via Nairobi to Kilimanjaro Airport, where you will transfer to the small, attractive town of Arusha, situated at the foot of Mt. Meru and Kilimanjaro.  Here, you will spend one night at Legendary Lodge, located on a peaceful coffee plantation inviting you to rest and unwind after a long journey.

After breakfast, depart for the verdant valley of Lake Manyara, taking in the sights and sounds of monkeys and flamingos roaming the lake. Your journey will take you through the town of Karatu, home to many crops of coffee, and past spectacular views of the northern highlands. Arriving at The Manor at Ngorongoro, you’ll stay in the Stable Cottage, situated in magnificent gardens where horseback excursions are offered in the afternoon. Spend a full day exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania’s world-famous safari destination where endangered black rhinos, big cats, zebras, elephants and a whole host of other wildlife wander the arid terrain.

Fly to the Kogatende region in the Serengeti and enjoy a game drive to the Serengeti Bushtops, a luxury tented escape surrounded by the wilderness covered plains and vast savanna backdrop. The Serengeti, meaning “endless plains” in the local Maasai language, is the heart of any family safari adventure, where you can spend your days on enthralling game drives through the National Park (the real-life setting of Disney’s Lion King) to find lion prides and witness the great wildebeest migration if you’re lucky.

Wrap up your busy safari schedule with a relaxing stay on the Zanzibar Archipelago. Here, you’ll spend three nights at The Residence, which sits tucked away in the palm forests that skirts the island’s white sands. Dive into the crystalline waters of the Indian Ocean, snorkelling through a vast marine world of tropical fish and colourful reefs. Back on dry land, the young ones can keep entertained by the bicycle trails and volleyball nets scattered along the island, while the hotel spa offers soothing treatments to help parents unwind at the end of an action packed safari adventure. Fly home from Zanzibar via Nairobi to London Heathrow.
