Why families love this trip

Following the success of our first Tanzania Families & Kids group trip, we’re returning for another adventure combining an unforgettable African safari with a relaxing stay in Zanzibar.

This trip gives families the chance to experience Tanzania together, spotting wildlife across Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, sharing the adventure with other like-minded families, and finishing with a few days of beach time in beautiful Nungwi, Zanzibar.

We recommend this trip for children aged 7 and over. Safari days can involve long game drives and several hours in the vehicle, while roads inside the national parks can be dusty, uneven and bumpy, all part of the authentic safari experience! Children should therefore be comfortable with longer days on the road.

After the safari, Zanzibar gives everyone time to slow down, swim, enjoy the beach and relax together — making it a great combination of adventure, wildlife and family time.

What age is best for kids to join a safari?

We recommend this trip for children aged 7 and over. Safari days can involve long game drives and several hours in the vehicle, while roads inside the national parks can be dusty, uneven and bumpy, all part of the authentic safari experience! Children should therefore be comfortable with longer days on the road.

Is a safari in Tanzania safe for children?

Yes, absolutely. Safety is always our top priority. Parents are always briefed on safety rules around wildlife to ensure peace of mind throughout the trip and a local guide will be with you at all times. 

What should we pack for safari?

After booking, we will organise a group meeting, and we will provide you with a brochure that includes further details and a packing list.

Are any vaccines required to enter the country?

No vaccines are required for entry. However, it is strongly recommended that you consult your doctor or the Immunisation Centre in Malta before travelling. They can advise you on any recommended vaccinations or preventive measures to help ensure your safety and wellbeing during your trip.

Malaria prophylaxis may be advised, so we recommend consulting your travel doctor or local health clinic at least 6–8 weeks before your trip to ensure you and/or your children are fully protected.

Contact the Immunisation Centre on immunisation@gov.mt or 21231231 ext 7 to set up appointments for vaccination.

Is it possible to arrive earlier / stay longer?

  • Yes, of course. As long as you are in Arusha on the trip dates, you are free to arrive / leave whenever you want. It is best to let us know your plans so we can organise transfers accordingly.

How about food?

The lodges will provide meals to their guests. Zanzibar is home to a vast range of cuisine, and Italian food as well as seafood is especially prevalent on the island.  

How is the weather like in the time of travel?

The best time to visit Tanzania is during the Dry season, from June to October, when wildlife viewing is generally at its best. 

  • Animals are easier to spot since they concentrate around waterholes and rivers
  • There are fewer mosquitoes because there is little to no rain
  • Skies are clear and most days are sunny

Do I need a visa to enter Tanzania?

Tanzania – Maltese passport holders do not need a visa to enter Tanzania

Currency and preferred payment method while in Tanzania
