Family Tanzania Safari
A Specialized East Africa Safari Uniquely Arranged for Families
Anthropologist Richard Leakey said we feel an affinity for Africa because it’s in our blood. In 1959, his famous parents discovered the jaw of a primitive human in Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge, affirming Africa as humanity’s homeland. Africa is a place of ancient traditions, seasonal passages and long family lines. Wildebeest still thunder across the Serengeti, as they have for millennia. Parents and children share stories around starlit campfires as they have done for eons, tales still punctuated by the yips of hyenas and the roaring of lions. The call of Africa is the call to come home, where children discover family they didn’t know they had.

This is delicately engineered by our local Expedition Leaders and guides.

Further, the remote exclusivity of our private mobile tented camp ensures we are far from the crowds.

Important Information on Your Game Drives
Your safari game drives take place in the highest quality, 4-wheel drive Land Rovers and Land Cruisers, providing up-close encounters that cannot be accomplished in typical safari vans.
