Serengeti Family Safari: An Honest Guide to Safari with Children
An honest guide to a Serengeti family safari, from guides who host families year-round in the Central Serengeti.
Is the Serengeti good for families?
The Central Serengeti has superb resident wildlife all year, so families enjoy short, rewarding game drives without chasing the Great Migration — ideal when travelling with children.
Where families stay
The Family Suite is two connecting canvas tents with a shared lounge and veranda, designed for two adults and two children, with ensuite bathrooms and views over the Orangi River.
Why a private vehicle matters most
Every family has its own 4x4 and guide for the whole stay, so you set the pace, keep drives short, break when little legs get restless, and never worry about disturbing other guests.
What a family safari costs
Children under 16 travel at half the adult rate. The all-inclusive family package starts from US$14,400 for two adults and two children over five nights — Family Suite, all meals and house drinks, unlimited private game drives, park fees and airstrip transfers.
