4 DAYS SAFARI

Tanzania family safari offers quality family time, we are also committed to ensuring that you can relax, secure in the knowledge that your family is having as great a holiday as you are. With this in mind, we choose the hotels and lodges to offers a wide range of family-friendly accommodation options.

The safari can be customised to suit your dates and requirements – perhaps add on or swap in luxury or midrange accommodations. Children over the age of 8 years are welcome on this trip and would really enjoy it – family accommodation is available.

Day 1: Arrive in Arusha:

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport you will meet us at the arrival point with the signboard written your names on it.
We will arrange a pickup transfer from the airport to Arusha Safari Lodge to prepare for your safari adventure. We will gather in the hotel for a pre-safari briefing and an equipment check. We will also confirm you have the appropriate mandatory medical coverage and travel insurance.

Day 2: Game drive in Serengeti National Park:

We head towards the Serengeti National Park. En route game drives and there is an opportunity to visit Olduvai Gorge. It is within this steep sided ravine that Louis and Mary Leakey made some of the world’s most important archaeological discoveries in the 1950s. Here in a small museum we are able to see evidence of our ancestors that have been dated back 2.5 million years. After lunch we drive into the Serengeti itself and the rest of the afternoon is spent game viewing in the vast plains that are broken only by stands of acacia trees and the occasional kopje. In December, January and February we will normally meet the migration with large herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle. There are always plenty of resident animals, such as giraffe, buffalo, and elephant, and many large predators such as lion, cheetah, and leopard. We return to our special tented camp for the night.

Day 3: Another full day game drive in Serengeti National Park:

We have another full day in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of our time. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. We journey from the wide open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals and from the top we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide us with the ultimate in game viewing, we will hopefully see all of the plain games; elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions and it you are lucky the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of interesting bird life, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich. We return to our special tented camp for the night.
