Where to go for a family safari in Tanzania

Ngorongoro Crater with the kids

Activities to do with your family in the Serengeti include spotting smaller animals, tracking the great wildebeest migration, bird watching, game drives, village tours to the Maasai village of Boma and enjoying a campfire while listening to stories.

Zanzibar Family Beach
Holidays Zanzibar is an island that lies on the East African coast with pristine beaches. As a former coastal town, the island is full of old commercial buildings and streets from where you can enjoy a relaxing moment with your family on the different beaches of Zanzibar.

Selous Family
Game Drive Located in the southern part of Tanzania for safaris, Selous Game Reserve is a good place to visit with your family, especially if you love tranquil areas. Located in the rural part of Tanzania, it has plenty of wildlife and bird life to offer. Enjoy a family game drive through the park before camping with your family for the night.

Family activities to enjoy in Selous include guided walks through the reserve, canoeing, game drives, photo expeditions and much more. The best time to go to Selous is during the dry season (June to October) because when the rains start it becomes flooded and difficult to access, leading to its closure during the months of March towards the end of May.
