Whether you’re looking for a large family villa to accommodate the whole family or a hotel with facilities to please the adults and the kids, Tanzania has it all; from luxury hotels with Kids’ Clubs that keep the kids busy to allow the adults sometime alone, to Lodges that are surrounded by a wealth of attraction for the family to explore or a beachfront family resort with lots of family activities.
Going on Family Safari
A family safari holiday could be full of excitement for Kids; hand feeding giraffes, stroking young baby elephants, discovering wild animals on a hot air balloon flight, going on a guided bush walk led by the famous Masai warrior and visiting a Masai traditional village.
Not only, will a well planned family safari be an unforgettable and exciting, but will also be very safe and educative to the young once; who have fresh minds and want to learn about Africa and its environs. Some of the major place for a family safari in Tanzania would include the famous Serengeti national Reserve, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater , Ruaha National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro among other popular destinations.
As we all know, children tend to get bored from doing one thing for long; at Kentz Safaris, we try to mix the game drive with other activities like horse riding, mountain biking, hiking, swimming, playing family football, tennis, picnics and so on.
A family safari has no age restrictions, but we at Kentz safaris recommend that families with kids between 0 – 5 year should avoid the long safaris drives, and engage in short trips to animal orphanage, museums and other attractions that are close to your hotel.
Family Beach Holiday
Tanzania is blessed with excellent weather, long stretch of beaches and beautiful islands. Some of the beaches are private and located on well secluded areas; the beaches are unpolluted and less populated for families who prefer some time alone; just relaxing, sunbathing and enjoying the various family activities on the beach.
Along the stretched line of beaches, there are luxury family resorts and villas that are strategically located on the beachfront and have plenty of Kids facilities. The three main cities and towns along the Tanzanian coastline are Dar Es Salaam and Zanzibar
