Tanzania Family Safari

10 Days/9 Nights

Tanzania: The Ultimate Multi-Generational Journey


A Tanzanian safari is more than just a vacation; it is a rare opportunity to gather the generations in a place where the modern world fades away. From the vast plains of the Serengeti to the ancient walls of the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania offers a shared sense of wonder that resonates with everyone from youngsters to grandparents.


In a world dominated by digital distractions, Tanzania provides a powerful "unplugged" education. It is a place where the rhythm of life is dictated by nature, pulling children and teens away from screens and into a living classroom where the circle of life unfolds before their eyes.


Born Free will not just show you the sights, we curate a journey that enriches the soul. While wildlife viewing is the primary focus, we balance every itinerary with meaningful exchanges and activities tailored to your family's interests and age range, from a school visit to a soccer game.


Tanzania Defines Family Adventure


Cultural Eye-Opener: Beyond the wildlife, the heart of Tanzania lies in its people. Interacting with local communities—from the Maasai in the north to the Datoga artisans—offers a humbling perspective on global citizenship that stays with a family forever.


The Born Free guides are the backbone of the safari. Carefully selected for their ability to engage multi-generational groups, they serve as trackers, Swahili teachers, storytellers, and "social directors." They ensure your safety while tailoring each day to your children's curiosity.


Activities for those of all ages:

  • Conservation lectures
  • Beading with local artisans
  • Track identification, bush lore, and spear throwing
  • Stop at a school and join an impromptu soccer game
  • Visit the cradle of humankind at Olduvai Gorge and Museum
  • Take a hike with the Maasai
  • Exchanging stories of the bush around the campfire

OPTIONAL: Extend the trip to Tanzania to include a beach stay at the Indian Ocean in Zanzibar. 


At Born Free Safaris, we are dedicated to showing you the Tanzania we love, a land of breathtaking beauty that will leave your family with a lifetime of shared stories.

Is this your dream trip?

This is the ideal family trip - shared experiences and memories that will last a lifetime. Younger children must be patient, do not mind drives, and can understand that the wildlife is real, and they must obey bush rules.
