Why you shouldn’t wait to go on safari with your kids
Many families dream of going on a safari in Tanzania “one day”. Often thinking they’ll wait until the kids are older. But here’s the truth: a safari is one of the most magical experiences you can share as a family right now. And the best part? You’ll actually save quite a bit when you travel with younger children.
Safaris are for all ages
Tanzania is full of wide-eyed wonder — and no one experiences that magic more vividly than children. Seeing an elephant family up close, spotting a lion under an acacia tree, or hearing hippos snort at night are moments your kids will never forget. Safaris can be perfectly tailored to your family’s pace, with shorter game drives, fun bush walks, and plenty of time to swim or relax between adventures.
Family savings you don’t want to miss
Waiting until your children are older can mean missing out on significant discounts:
Children up to 4 years old: no park fees at all.
Children up to 11 years old: reduced accommodation rates at most lodges and camps and discounted park fees.
Children up to 15 years old: discounted park fees.
That means you can enjoy the same incredible experience for less, without compromising on comfort, safety, or excitement.
The perfect age? It’s now
Every age brings something special to a safari. Younger kids are full of curiosity and excitement, while older ones love learning about wildlife and culture from local guides. Many of our family travelers say it’s the best trip they’ve ever taken — not just for the animals, but for the quality time together, away from screens and routines.
