Taking Family Safaris in Tanzania
One of the best places for family safaris is the country of Tanzania. Not only does this amazing country have some of the world's most famous sights, it has an abundance of wildlife all year round and its rich grazing grounds are home to the Great Wildebeest Migration. The Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar are all located in Tanzania, making it the ideal place for a unique and fulfilling family vacation. Probably most suitable for families with older children, Tanzania offers you everything you could want from a holiday; adventure, fun, magic and relaxation. Adventure into the wilderness of the Serengeti or why not climb the majestic Kilimanjaro for a real challenge? Experience nothing but fun on family safaris in the heart of the bush; taking game drives, trekking on foot to follow animals or watching the herds of animals from the skies in a plane or hot air balloon. Witness magic moments as millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle make their way through the Serengeti, forming the world's largest overland animal migration. And finally, spend time on the island of Zanzibar relaxing and unwinding after what has been, a once in a lifetime vacation.
The Serengeti
Tanzania's oldest and most famous national park, the Serengeti, is a vast and beautiful place. The Serengeti is at the heart of most family safaris and even if it isn't, it needs to be visited whilst you are in the country! Owning the status of a World Heritage Site and recently being proclaimed a 7th world-wide wonder, the Serengeti plains are probably most famed worldwide for being the home to the wildebeest migration. This fascinating spectacle takes place every year, between the Serengeti and Masai Mara in Kenya. Over two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle come together on a long and challenging journey searching for fresh water and grazing. But this comes at a price. Predators are hot on their feet and this really does make for excellent wildlife viewing. The migration is best experienced from a hot air balloon where you'll get a full bird's eye view of the event in action. The look on your children's faces will certainly be one to remember!
Ngorongoro and Kilimanjaro Family Safaris
A completely breathtaking sight in Tanzania is the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area. This is one of the most beautifully scenic safari regions in the country, and an added bonus is that it is filled with wildlife and a good number of bird species all year round. The areas main highlight is the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest intact volcanic caldera. Here families get to see all the big five animals and plenty more. Another must see whilst you are in this part of Africa is its highest mountain, Kilimanjaro. The impressive mountain dominates the skyline for miles, measuring a staggering 19, 340 feet. A visit to Kilimanjaro on family safaris can simply be for viewing pleasure, which will most likely be the case with a younger family. However if you are an older and fairly fit family, with plenty of determination, you could take on its summit! If you are interested in climbing Kilimanjaro as a family, discuss it with your tour operator who will be able to advise you on the best options.
