A perfect safari for families!

Our 7-Day Classic Luxury Safari in Tanzania was a fantastic family adventure. Anthon, our expert guide, ensured that every moment was memorable, especially with young children (ages 2 to 12). We explored Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Karatu, where the kids loved seeing elephants, lions, and giraffes up close. The accommodations were luxurious and comfortable, with spacious rooms, clean bathrooms, and great meals. The entire trip was smooth, from the warm airport reception to the seamless transfer at the end. A perfect safari for families!
