The Ultimate Family Safari

Our full northern circuit, with two rest days built in and lodges chosen for their family suites.

8Days / 7 Nights
Private Guide & VehicleGroup Style
2–12Recommended Age Range
Year-RoundSeasonality

A route built for families who want the real Serengeti, without the exhausting version of it. This itinerary moves at a deliberately gentle pace: shorter drive days, two full rest days at family-suite lodges, and a route sequenced so the biggest wildlife moments land when everyone still has the energy to enjoy them.

Day by Day

The Route

Day 1

Arrival in Arusha

Met on arrival and transferred to a coffee-estate lodge at the foot of Mount Meru. A short rest before dinner, and a briefing on the days ahead.

Days 2–3

Tarangire — Elephant Country

Two nights among the baobabs, with private morning and afternoon drives paced around nap times. Tarangire's elephant herds are the gentlest possible introduction for younger children.

Day 4

Lake Manyara — A Soft Landing

A shorter transfer day with a forest-edge game drive, flamingos on the lake shore, and an early lodge arrival for a proper rest.

Days 5–6

Ngorongoro & Central Serengeti

A full day on the crater floor — one of the most concentrated wildlife experiences in Africa — followed by two nights in the Serengeti's central plains.

Day 7

Rest Day, Serengeti

A deliberately unscheduled day. Guests can take an optional gentle drive, or simply stay at the lodge — this day exists on purpose.

Day 8

Departure

A final relaxed morning drive before transfer to the airstrip for your onward flight.
