This spectacular, expertly guided wildlife safari includes luxury lodges that are in some of the most remote regions northern Tanzania’s national parks. These parks are often thought of as being busy and congested with other safari goers and we recommend these lodges to discover the wild and off-the-beaten-track side to these areas that few others will get to experience.

After visiting Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara and then the Ngorongoro Crater, the main event is going in search of the greatest annual movement of land mammals on earth in the northern Serengeti.

The millions of migrating wildebeest and zebra are constantly on the search for fresh pastures and their movements are driven by the rains. The migration is typically in the Serengeti, Tanzania, for nine months of the year and the Maasai Mara, Kenya, for the remaining three months. If you time it right, and your luck is in, you may witness some truly astonishing natural spectacles.

Lesser known than their northern counterparts, the Selous and Ruaha can boast Africa’s largest animal populations, including Tanzania’s biggest elephant herd. The diversity of landscapes – from desert-like savannah to wetlands, and from rocky outcrops to Baobab trees – offer ever-changing points of interest, and also translates into a wide array of A-list wildlife (think: lions, leopards, elephants, hippos, crocodiles and more).

Fun game drives and exciting boat safaris add to the adventure, making this a natural choice for families with older children or teenagers.

Due to their proximate location, a southern circuit safari, involves light aircraft flights which eliminates the need for long drives that can characterise safaris in the north of Tanzania.

Staying at accommodation that effortlessly oozes style throughout, this safari lends itself to both sophisticated parents and their adventurous children.

We recommend a safari in Tanzania for families with children aged 10-12 and upwards, although younger children are also welcome. Camps in Tanzania are not fenced, meaning wildlife roams freely day and night, making it essential to supervise youngsters at all times.

The next morning meet your private guide and start with an initial safari in Lake Manyara famous for its birdlife and populations of tree-climbing lions. You will stay near to the town of Karatu before a breath-taking descent into the incomparable natural wonder that is the Ngorongoro Crater the following day.

Then it is onto the Serengeti to enjoy three nights at a fantastic tented camp in the heart of the park, there is always something to see in this wildlife rich area but depending on the time of year the Great Migration might also be passing through.
