Safari With Children - Family Safaris in East Africa


 Tanzania is Africa's best safari destination because of the sheer variety of wildlife parks, their immense size and the numbers of animals.

Bringing your family to Africa is safe, adventurous and educational. Learning how to make bead jewelry with Maasai women, learning how to make spears with Datoga tribe or hunting with Hadzabe men are experiences that will stay with your family long after the vacation is over.


 

A family safari in Tanzania offers a wonderful experience, which can easily be combined with a beach vacation in Zanzibar with snorkeling activities not to mention dolphin tours as well.


We recommend itineraries where there's not too much driving involved (i.e. a lot of parks to visit) especially if you have young children.


It's also a good idea to opt for lodges with swimming pools to fill up the time in between game drives if your children are younger.


Note that some safari lodges won't accommodate children under 6.
Avoid long game-drives or drives between lodges in safari parks if you have younger children since they won't be able to get out for a bathroom stop due to the wild animals.


We have organized many family safaris and if you plan to travel with young children, let us know.


For those who travel with children we will adjust the itinerary that will be enjoyable and interesting for the whole family.




Furthermore, family volunteering in Africa is an excellent option if you want a meaningful vacation, which really gives back to community.  Read more about meaningful travel on our site: http://www.shadowsofafrica.com/activities/meaningful-travel/meaningful-travel-learn-and-help
