11 Days Family Safari -
Wild & Free

Karibu sana! – A warm African welcome

Step off the plane and breathe in the fresh African air. Your journey begins in the lush foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. This fertile land is full of banana palms, avocado trees, and colorful village markets. From your family-friendly lodge, you’ll see the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro towering in the distance. Children can explore the gardens, play outdoors, and listen to the first nighttime calls of birds and frogs. It’s the perfect place to relax and settle into the rhythm of Africa.

Touch, feed, and explore!

Today, your family will discover real Tanzanian farm life. With a local guide, you’ll visit small farms with goats, chickens, rabbits, and more. Kids are welcome to help with milking, collecting eggs, or harvesting vegetables – a hands-on experience they’ll love. The rolling hills, green fields, and shady trees provide a peaceful and inviting setting. Optional guided nature walks can be arranged.

Red earth, endless savannah, and your first wildlife sightings

Your safari begins! Driving eastward, you’ll pass small villages, colorful roadside markets, and the striking Usambara Mountains rising in the distance. Mkomazi National Park welcomes you with classic African landscapes: dusty red tracks, twisted acacia trees, open plains and vast horizons. Soon, you’ll spot your first zebras, antelope, giraffes and exotic birds. Your camp is nestled inside the park – a peaceful spot under the stars, with the sounds of wildlife nearby.

Today’s safari brings you to the Mbula Rhino Sanctuary, where you’ll have the rare opportunity to observe endangered black rhinos up close. Mkomazi is home to many unique species: elegant oryx, long-necked gerenuks, colorful birds like the vulturine guineafowl, and even African wild dogs, which are being carefully protected and reintroduced here. You’ll drive through open savannah, past riverbeds and rocky hills, with towering views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the nearby Kenyan border. It’s a true safari off the beaten path.

After one last morning game drive, you head back toward Moshi. Along the way, the landscape shifts from savannah back to green farms and towns. In Moshi, you can explore lively markets, meet friendly locals, and see what everyday life is like in Tanzania. Children are often greeted with high fives, and may even get to try local snacks or see toys made from recycled materials.

From bean to brew – a journey through Tanzania’s coffee country

This morning, you walk through lush green hills, where small family farms grow some of Tanzania’s finest coffee. You’ll see how the beans are picked, peeled, roasted, and brewed over a fire – and of course, taste a fresh cup! After a traditional home-cooked lunch in a private garden, your forest walk takes you past towering ancient trees. A day full of smells, tastes, and laughter.
