A Top Family Safari in Tanzania

A Family Safari in Tanzania

Travel to Tanzania for a family safari you will never forget. Vacations will never be the same once you have sampled what it is like to escape modern technology and just immerse yourself in the primitiveness of your surroundings. Waking up in the wild and just piling into the back of an open-topped 4x4 to see what surprises await you is an extremely rewarding and relaxing experience. It's one you'll want to repeat again and again once you return from your family safari.

Choosing the Right Camp

Tanzania is definitely one of the more popular family safari destinations in Africa. Picking the right camps is crucial, ensuring there is something there for all the age groups in your party. Pools and play areas are regular features on a lot of parks, with some even running junior ranger programs that teach children all kinds of useful things. Travel here is fairly simply, with most places within short distances, and if you have quite young children it may be a good idea to plan shorter excursions to prevent them becoming tired and grumpy. Having great guides is also a must; most parks can be relied on for this, as it can make all the difference to your excursion. An experience guide will know all the best game viewing places to head for, plus will be a fountain of facts and information that will enchant and thrill children. However, do be aware that age restrictions are in force at some camps on various activities and excursions so make sure you check on this before booking your family safari.

Solo Family Safari 

Of course, some groups may be more knowledgeable and experienced on family safari vacations and may want to break out on their own. There are many options for this such as private mobile camps, which will allow groups the freedom to plan their own itinerary. Camps can also be as rustic and as comfortable as you want, meaning your accommodation can be as snug or as back-to-basics as you want. The added flexibility on this type of vacation can be a real stress reliever, letting you choose your activities simply on the whims of the younger members of your party, sleeping the wilderness under a canopy of stars and rising when you want, and spending time with just the people who are closest to you. It really could be the perfect family safari.
