Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 8 Day Tanzania Family Journey: A Serengeti Safari. Adventure is calling from the wild African savanna! Head out on safari in Tanzania’s world-renowned national parks and conservation areas to see huge herds of wildebeests and zebras; playful elephants; and cunning hunters such as lions, cheetahs and Nile crocodiles. From Arusha to Mto wa Mbu, taste bananas fresh from the farm, learn about traditional crafts and hear how locals are working to protect the cultures and creatures of their remarkable homeland.

Itinerary

Our National Geographic Family Journeys tour in Tanzania has a maximum group size of eighteen travellers in addition to our highly trained CEOs and safari guides/drivers. We will make use of a maximum of three 7-seat 4x4 safari vehicles, with 6 guests per vehicle, meaning everyone gets a window seat. Stay: Kibo Palace Hotel

Duck under the giant leaves of banana trees as you explore the lush farmlands surrounding the vibrant town of Mto wa Mbu, which has attracted some 18,000 residents from 120 different tribes. Take a guided walk through the community, learning about local history, industry and cuisine from members of several Tanzanian tribes. You’ll also visit a local market and learn how the residents' huts are made. Then enjoy lunch with a local family, tasting different types of banana and rice dishes harvested from nearby farms. After lunch, visit the workshops of local artisans who will describe influences and materials they use to make the items they sell in local markets. They’ll also show you techniques they use to create art from banana leaves—then it’s your turn to create some banana art of your own! Continue to the Rift Valley escarpment and settle into the lodge. Stay: Rift Valley Photographic Lodge (B/L/D)

It’s officially time for safari, but first an introduction to the remarkable anthropological history of the Serengeti area. Delve into the story of human origins at the Olduvai Gorge Museum and Visitor's Center, located near the site where National Geographic archaeologists Louis and Mary Leakey discovered early hominid fossils and stone tools. After a filling picnic lunch, continue to the world-famous Serengeti National Park and go on a safari across the wild Serengeti Plain. Throughout your safari, keep an eye out for galloping giraffes and lounging lions. Then, head back to camp for a delicious dinner before settling in for a good night’s sleep. Stay: Serengeti Tortilis Camps (B/L/D)

Today, get to know the incredible creatures of the Serengeti as you set out on morning and afternoon wildlife-viewing adventures. Ride in a 4x4 over golden plains, gazing out from the pop-up roof to glimpse wildlife through binoculars or watch as animals walk right by you! Watering holes also draw all kinds of visitors, from towering giraffes to the tiny dik-diks, a miniature species of antelope. With luck, spot all of Africa’s “Big 5” safari stars—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and Cape buffalo. Stay: Serengeti Tortilis Camps (B/L/D)

On a morning safari, look out for cackling jackals, brave honey badgers or long-necked ostriches strutting through the grass. Enjoy a picnic breakfast surrounded by the vast savanna before heading out of the Serengeti en route to the Ngorongoro Conservation area. Once you settle into the lodge, enjoy a delicious lunch to fuel up for your next adventure. In the afternoon, join your Chief Experience Officer and a park ranger for a walk along the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, observing the small flora and fauna that make this biodiverse spot so spectacular. Keep your eyes peeled for inspiration, as after the walk concludes, you’ll head back to the lodge to meet an artist from the local community who will guide you through a painting class. You’ll get to use your own canvas to illustrate all the things that inspired you on your walk along the rim of the crater. Stay: Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp (B/L/D)

Set out into the Ngorongoro Crater, an enormous volcanic caldera where animals of all kinds gather to graze or hunt. Descend into the caldera for a full-day safari drive, ready to be mesmerized by zebra stripes and the eland’s spiral horns. Spot buffalo, wildebeests, zebras and gazelles as they bound across the grass. Enjoy a picnic lunch along the way within the crater. Stay: Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp (B/L/D)

Your day begins with a visit to a local coffee farm, where you’ll learn about the “seed to cup” coffee making process. After watching the beans roast, you’ll get to sample some of the freshly made coffee. After you enjoy lunch at the farm, take a walk through the picturesque landscape. Your next stop is a visit to a Maasai village in the Monduli district, where you’ll chat with locals and learn about the G Adventures-supported Clean Cookstoves project—an amazing initiative that seeks to reduce household air pollution. You’ll meet one of the project’s female engineers and lend a hand during the installation of a new stove in a village boma, or traditional home. Return to Arusha and gather for a farewell dinner while sharing stories about your exciting adventures. Stay: Kibo Palace Hotel (B/L/D)
