Five days of Northern Circuit game drives followed by a direct flight to Zanzibar for reef snorkelling and beach time.
This expedition pairs a Northern Tanzania wildlife safari with a tropical beach holiday on Zanzibar Island — wild game viewing, cultural interaction and coastal relaxation for the whole family, multiple generations included. After five days of early morning game drives and big cat tracking, your family flies directly to Zanzibar's white sand beaches, where the adults can unwind while the kids take up water sports, dolphin watching and coral reef snorkelling. Accommodation throughout is chosen for spacious family villas, pools, kid-friendly menus and direct beach access.

Land at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where your driver transfers your family to a tranquil Arusha garden lodge.
Spend the rest of the day resting, enjoying fresh fruit smoothies by the pool, and getting ready for the bush leg of the trip.
Drive to Tarangire National Park for a full first day of wildlife viewing — elephant herds, giraffe, zebra and colourful birdlife along the river valley.
A packed lunch in the park precedes the drive to Karatu for dinner and overnight.
Descend early onto the Ngorongoro Crater floor for five to six hours tracking the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino — in this natural amphitheatre.
A picnic lunch near the hippo pool comes before ascending and driving on toward the Serengeti gates.
Two full days exploring the Serengeti savannah — lion prides resting on granite kopjes, cheetahs hunting open grassland, and vast herds of wildebeest.
Evenings are spent around the campfire with guide stories, before family dinners under the stars.
Board a flight from Seronera Airstrip direct to Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ).
A private vehicle transfers your family to your east-coast beach resort, where the boots come off and the sand starts.
Three full days on the Indian Ocean: a private dhow-boat tour to Mnemba Atoll for snorkelling with sea turtles and tropical fish, an interactive Spice Farm tour, and easy time on shallow beaches.
Parents can unwind with spa treatments while the kids build sandcastles or join the resort's watersports programme.
A final tropical breakfast at the resort, then a private transfer to Zanzibar Airport (ZNZ) for the flight home.
Price is per person and drops as your family group grows — children under 4 travel free.
