Safari Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This 7-day Tanzania family safari from Nairobi is designed with families in mind, combining private game drives, comfortable mid-range accommodation and a balanced route through Amboseli, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

The safari starts in Nairobi, Kenya, with pickup from your hotel or another agreed location. The route then continues through Amboseli before crossing into Tanzania at the Namanga border.

The standard itinerary ends in Arusha, Tanzania. A transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport or another destination can be arranged according to your travel plans.

Yes. The itinerary includes two nights in Amboseli, allowing the family enough time to enjoy elephant viewing, wildlife and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro.

The itinerary includes two nights in Central Serengeti. This provides a full day for wildlife viewing without requiring the family to change accommodation every day.

No. Ngorongoro Crater is visited once on Day 7. This keeps the route efficient and avoids unnecessary backtracking.

The safari uses mid-range, family-friendly lodges and tented camps. Depending on availability, options may include Sentrim Amboseli Lodge, Kibo Palace Hotel, Serengeti Kati Kati Camp and a suitable lodge around Karatu.

The recommended package is a private family safari, meaning your family travels in a private 4×4 safari vehicle with a dedicated safari guide. This allows the schedule and game-drive duration to be adjusted to suit the family.

Depending on the season and wildlife movements, you may see elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, hippos, hyenas and many bird species. Ngorongoro also offers a chance to see black rhino.

Yes. Families with children can join the safari. The private vehicle makes it easier to take breaks and adjust game-drive times according to the children’s needs. Parents should provide the children’s ages when requesting a quotation so suitable accommodation can be arranged.

The safari can be enjoyed throughout the year. The dry seasons are generally popular for wildlife viewing because animals are easier to spot around water sources, while the green seasons offer beautiful scenery, fewer visitors and excellent birdlife.

Bring comfortable clothing, closed shoes, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, cameras and any personal medication required. A light jacket is useful because mornings and evenings can be cool, particularly around the Ngorongoro Highlands.
