Whether you'd like to tow behind the teens as they meander through Zanzibar's cobbled streets of Stone Town, slap on sun cream as you lay on a pristine Tanzanian beach, or go out spotting the Big Five on an open-top safari, our Original Travellers have been there and done that when it comes to a trip to Tanzania. Whether you want to find freedom in one of our hand-picked, child-friendly resorts, lodges or camps; or connect with the country while exploring with one of our local guides our specialists will design a tailor-made itinerary to suit the whole family.

The first stop on your mind might be the Zanzibar Archipelago - a perfect place to begin a Tanzania Family holiday. Idyllic beaches with soft, powdered sand; luxury resorts galore; and clear, blue water make trekking, snorkelling, and swimming a perfect way to wear out any energy mustered up from the flight. Once you've dragged your family from the coast, head inland to Jozani forest, or, if you'd like to inject some culture into the trip, delve into the Darajani Market to hone your haggling skills.

Continuing along the coast, stay on the shores of the Rufiji River in a luxury tented camp which borders the quieter, unspoiled Selous and Ruaha Reserves. By day, spot the Ruaha lions and crocodiles on boating and 4x4 safaris and, come evening, sip sundowners beside the fire pit while the little ones are kept happily entertained with our tailored Sharky & George packs, bursting to the brim with fun and engaging activities.

After you've ticked off the coast, make a beeline for one of Tanzania's many family-friendly game reserves. In the north, are the endless plains of the Serengeti - a wildlife savannah home to an incredible concentration of diverse wildlife. For the teenage thrill-seekers, explore the Serengeti on foot on a guided walking safari, or - for those with smaller children - enjoy the comfort and safety of one of our recommended private lodges and 4x4 experiences.
