As a family travel expert, I enjoy creating all-inclusive luxury safari packages for my clients. In the past, I have teamed up with reputable companies who have created their own luxury safari packages for other travelers. I continue to use what I have learned from working with these other companies to ensure the safari packages I create for my clients are the best available. If you have never planned an amazing luxury Tanzania safari for a family vacation, I recommend you put it at the top of your list. There is nothing better than being out in the middle of nowhere, enjoying nature and wildlife in their natural habitats. At least, I thought so when I took a couple of my kids to Kenya for a safari a few years ago!  

Plan an Amazing Luxury Tanzania Safari for Your Family Vacation

Highlights of an Amazing Luxury Tanzania Safari include: 

• Tarangire National Park 
• Lake Manyara National Park 
• Ngorongoro Crater 
• Serengeti National Park 
• Nungwi Coast 

Day One: Arusha 

The first day of your luxury Tanzania safari will be a busy one. You will fly into the Kilimanjaro/Arusha airport. Upon your arrival, you will be picked up by a private driver and whisked away to your accommodations. Your family will feel like VIPs right from the start of this safari adventure! 

Day Two: Arusha to Tarangire National Park 

You will need to get up slightly early on day two of this fabulous safari adventure. After a delicious breakfast, you will be taken to Tarangire National Park. This park offers the only water in the area to the wildlife during the dry season.  

Your family will want to spend a good portion of the day down by the river. The reason for this is many of the elephant families within the park spend their time at the river. Don’t forget about the hartebeest, giraffe, and bushbuck that live inside this national park, though. They are all worthy of a few photos too.  

Your guides will help you capture perfect pictures while they keep an eye out for lions and leopards lurking nearby.  

It will be a full day of adventures on this game drive, so you will sleep well at your accommodations on night two! 

Day Three: Tarangire National Park to Lake Manyara National Park 

After an excellent night’s sleep, your family should be raring to go as you head out to Lake Manyara National Park on day three. This is one of my favorite places to visit because you can see tree-climbing lions.  

During your family’s game drive, you will see so much more than those lions, though. Amongst all the savannah and evergreen forests, you will spot wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe. In between sightings, talk about all the special things you are seeing as you make memories together.  

Day Four: Lake Manyara National Park to the Ngorongoro Crater 

The Ngorongoro Crater was created more than two or three million years ago. A massive volcano exploded before collapsing onto itself. The result is this geographical delight.  

One of the best parts of this luxury Tanzania safari will be the adventure your family will have driving down to the crater floor. Once you reach the inner depths of the crater, you will be amongst tons of wildlife.  

To start, try to see how many of the five hundred different bird species you can spot. Then focus on the gazelle, zebra, and wildebeest roaming around. One of the more elusive animals within the Ngorongoro Crater is the endangered black rhino. Not everyone gets to see this creature up close, but you may have a chance during your luxury safari vacation.  

Days Five and Six: Serengeti National Park 

One of the best places to go on safari in Tanzania is Serengeti National Park. At this point, you might think your family will be getting bored with exploring national parks. However, your arrival in Serengeti National Park will have you all saying WOW!  

This park is one of the oldest ecosystems on Earth. It is also the oldest national park in Tanzania. This practically untouched park is absolutely breathtaking.  

If you time your luxury Tanzania safari family vacation just right, you may get to capture a glimpse of the Great Migration. This is when all the wildebeests, along with gazelle and zebra, move across the park in search of fresh grazing areas. If you happen to hear thundering hooves during your visit, you will know that large numbers of animals are moving in.  

Days Seven through Nine: Serengeti National Park to the North Coast of Zanzibar 

Right after breakfast on day seven of your family vacation, everyone will board a plane to fly to Zanzibar. The coast of Zanzibar is known as Nungwi. The entire coastline is full of bright white coral sand that seems to glow when the sun goes down.  

Your last days of safari can be spent on the soft sand or out in the sparkling water. The reefs right off the coast are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and parasailing. Your family may even want to take a sunset cruise one evening.  

If everyone prefers to stay on land, there are walking tours that share details of this beautiful area.  

Day Ten: Airport to Travel Home 

On the last day of your luxury Tanzania safari, you will be transported back to the airport to begin your journey home. This will have been a whirlwind adventure full of memory-making moments that your family will remember forever.
