Tanzania Family Safari Adventure Holiday (12 Days)
A carefully designed to sample some of the incredible contrasts of Tanzania – from the vast plains of Serengeti to the exotic palm-fringed beaches of Zanzibar. Traveling in custom four-wheel drive 4x4 safari vehicles, we navigate back roads and dusty tracks to encounter a new surprise every day. You'll discover vast, ruggedly beautiful landscapes, stretching from the volcanic cone of Mt. Meru to the Great Rift Valley, from the dramatic, tree-strewn landscape of Lake Manyara to the endless plains of the Serengeti.
You'll meet our long-time friends - villagers, school children, artisans, the Maasai and your Tanzanian guides - who share their thoughts, traditions, language and everyday lives with us. You never know what we might see: a lion stalking a herd of zebras; a hundred Thomson gazelles springing across a dirt road; a tiny dik-dik antelope hidden in the tall grass; elephants leading their babies to a watering hole; hippos wallowing in a pool; or a family of cheetahs patiently hunting its prey.
