Activity Level
Journey to a land where elephants roam free and lions snooze in the afternoon sun. On expert-led game drives through humongous national parks and reserves, search for leopards, rhinos, elephants and cheetahs with the locals that know their favorite hangouts. When you’re not searching for wildlife with your family, get to know the villagers at a local school to learn what a typical day is like – minus the homework! – and make some new friends. When the day is done, huddle in close with your family at the campfire to hear wild animal tales as you create lifelong memories in Tanzania together.
Best of all, you'll...
  • Keep your eyes peeled for lions as you explore Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks during game drives with expert naturalists.
  • Play soccer with local children and follow along as they show you inside their daily lives at school and at home.
  • Let the locals teach you a thing or two as you try your hand at Tinga Tinga painting and making tasty chapattis – a special bread.
