Materuni Tour’s team of specialists prepare itineraries for all generations, timed to match school holidays and packed with child-friendly sightseeing and activities. Tanzania is an ideal location for a family safari in Tanzania. One of the main reasons for this is that it so easily combines an action packed adventure with a relaxing stay on a nearby beach resort. The safari in the Northern Circuit particularly suits families with young children as there is a huge diversity of parks and an abundance of wildlife to hold a child’s interest. A Tanzania family safari is not only action-packed and loads of fun, but also highly educational. Families encounter wildlife witnessed for the first time and interact with local communities, in particular the Maasai people. Coupled with this the nearby beaches of Zanzibar have totally child-friendly resorts, safe swimming beaches and predictably sunny weather. There are plenty of activities on offer to keep everyone in the family entertained.
