Families love Tanzania. Tanzanians love families. With a plethora of extremely comfortable, family-friendly accommodations such as Chem Chem, Gibb’s Farm, Alex Walker’s Serian, Mkombe’s House in the Lamai area of the Serengeti, plus beach destinations such as the Manta Resort, the affordable and charming Pongwe Beach resort and a slew of stunning private villas on Zanzibar, families have seemingly endless choices in Tanzania. If luxury accommodations aren’t your family’s cup of tea, and you seek more adventure, mobile camping is available for families with kids and teens. Larger lodges offer expansive gardens for exploring and swimming pools to burn off energy, plus a wide variety of activities are available in Tanzania - hiking, biking, slopping through muddy shores in search of flamingoes, beading with Maasai mamas and snorkeling with incredible sealife! The Tanzanians love children and families are welcomed with open arms at camps and lodges throughout the country. It’s not strange to find your child baking a cake in the kitchen with the cook or racing in the garden with a waiter - the staff and guides genuinely care about your kids and are eager to interact with them. It’s the perfect balance of family time and carefully learned independence. Plus, I don’t ever hear parents complain about quiet moments on their private verandah enjoying morning coffee while the kids help the chef bake bread for brunch. Just ask Lyndsay for her top recommendations for your family safari, she’ll know what’s best for your children based on age, interest and travel experience.
