Private Family Safaris in Tanzania

Tanzania with your children, at their pace. Your own vehicle and guide, camps chosen for families, and days built around naps, meals and the moments they will talk about for years.

01 — Private family safaris

A safari that works for every age in the vehicle.

A family safari succeeds or fails on the details: how long the drives are, which camps welcome children, and whether the guide knows how to keep a seven-year-old enthralled at a waterhole. Because every EWT safari is private, those details are yours to set.

We plan shorter drives with longer breaks, family rooms or connecting tents, and guides who turn tracks, dung beetles and bird calls into a game. Some camps set minimum ages for walking safaris or game drives, so we match each camp to your children's ages before we suggest it.

Most families combine the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, and many add a few days on a Zanzibar beach at the end.

Who it suits

Your own vehicle means you stop when the children need to, and head back to camp when they have had enough.

03 — Questions

Planning a private family safari

What is the best age for a family safari in Tanzania?

Children of almost any age can enjoy a private safari, because the pace is yours. Many families find six and older the easiest age for long game drives. Some camps set minimum ages for walking safaris or game drives, so we choose camps that suit your children.

Is a Tanzania safari safe for children?

With a private vehicle, an experienced guide and well-run camps, a safari is a safe and supervised family holiday. Guides brief every family on camp rules, and your specialist is reachable on WhatsApp throughout the trip.

How long should a family safari be?

Seven to ten days suits most families: enough time to see the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater without long drives every day. A few days on a Zanzibar beach make an easy ending.

How much does a private family safari in Tanzania cost?

Our private family safaris start from $1,655 per person. The final price depends on the season, the camps you choose and how many of you travel together, and every quote is itemised. Our guide How Much Does a Tanzania Safari Cost? explains each part.
