Why choose an 8 day family Tanzania and Zanzibar safari?
The 8 day family Tanzania and Zanzibar safari is built around short travel days. Flights link Arusha, the Serengeti and Zanzibar, so children spend their time on game drives and the beach rather than on the road, and the private vehicle lets you stop or return to the lodge when they are tired.
The Serengeti days bring morning and afternoon game drives in search of the Big Five, predators and the great herds, and the Zanzibar days are free for swimming, rest and optional water sports.
- Families: a child price of USD 2,060 and a private guide and vehicle.
- Easy logistics: domestic flights, airport transfers and park fees included.
- Two halves: 3 Serengeti nights and 3 beach nights.
What to expect on the 8 day family Tanzania and Zanzibar safari
Day 1 starts at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your driver-guide meets you for the 1-hour transfer to Arusha. Dinner and the night are at Arusha Serena Hotel. On day 2 you fly about 1 hour from Arusha Airport to Seronera Airstrip, game drive to your lodge and head out again in the afternoon.

Days 6 and 7 are free at the resort for swimming, optional water sports and excursions. Day 8 is your transfer to Zanzibar Airport for your flight home.
Is a Serengeti and Zanzibar safari good for children?
