Tanganyika Safari Company-Family Safari

Rather than make you accommodate your needs and interests, we begin by considering what would be most suitable for you and your family.

Recommended by Family Travel Times and The Family Adventure Travel Directory, we are so comfortable with the concept (i.e. "child-friendly") that we offer a DISCOUNT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12 to encourage parents/ grandparents to bring younger ones with them.

We have had children as young as 5 and older travelers in their 80s on this safari. In fact, we are one of the few operations that will take children at such a young age.

Today, much of what is promoted as a "family safari" actually has you spending an inordinate amount of time in museums, homes, towns, etc. before finally getting you out into the bush where the wildlife is.

THINK OF US RATHER AS:

A REAL AFRICAN SAFARI
THAT TAKES CHILDREN.

Don't settle for a "standardized tour." No other travel experience can compare with a real mobile-tented African safari.

For families, it is the opportunity to share in the wonder of exploration.
It is an experience that you will treasure for a lifetime!

For children, it is the ultimate great adventure!

11, 12 or 15 days is the typical length of a safari, conforming with the KLM flights in/out of Kilimanjaro. These do not include travel time.Trips of a longer/shorter duration can be arranged.

Connecting thru Nairobi is a viable alternative but does require additional air/land arrangements to get you to/from Tanzania.

We offer you the following options:

PRIVATE SAFARI or JOIN ANOTHER SMALL FAMILY

If you wish to join others, you can EITHER pick your own dates and have them join you OR you can join a family that already has safari dates.

Ultimately, your FINAL ITINERARY will be determined by the season you select, weather and local conditions, guides' recommendations, as well as your interests. The itinerary will also dictate which styles of accommodation you will have on the safari -- deluxe, mobile-tented camping, remote private camping, fly-camping, and/or lodging. PRICING will be determined by group size, length of trip, and safari "style."

Once we have spoken with you and learned more about what you are looking for, we will send materials and sample itineraries with pricing, along with suggestions so that we can begin to plan with you, this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
