Your Tanzania safari at a glance
Safariing with children works best with shorter drive days, family rooms and a bit of variety beyond the vehicle — this itinerary is built around exactly that. The four headline parks are all here, but paced more gently, with a waterfall-and-coffee day at Materuni to break up the driving and give everyone a stretch.
