Day by Day

How the journey unfolds

Day 1

Arrive in Arusha

Meet your guide and settle into a garden lodge with space to run off the flight.

Day 2

Tarangire

Elephants — lots of them. A gentle first game drive with a bush picnic beneath the baobabs.

Day 3

Lake Manyara & canopy walk

Morning game drive to spot tree-climbing lions, then Tanzania's treetop canopy walkway — a guaranteed hit with kids.

Day 4

Ngorongoro Crater

A full crater day with wildlife bingo: lions, flamingos, hopefully a rhino. Early back to the lodge pool.

Day 5

Maasai visit & on to Serengeti

Meet Maasai families and their cattle before descending onto the Serengeti plains.

Days 6–7

Serengeti

Two full family days on the plains — morning drives when animals are active, afternoons at camp with games, stories and swims.

Day 8

Fly home

A short bush flight (an adventure in itself) back to Arusha and onward connections.

Questions, answered

We happily host children from age six on this itinerary. Long drives are broken up, lodges are chosen for pools and space, and our guides are wonderful at turning every drive into a story.
