You can travel when you’re young, before settling down—and even more meaningfully with your family later in life. Multi-Generational Travel brings together parents, children, and grandparents to create lasting memories.
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” – Helen Keller
Safaris in Tanzania are perfect for this kind of bonding. Whether it’s watching elephants roam the savannah or sharing stories by the campfire, every moment becomes a treasured experience across generations.
“In the end, kids won’t remember that fancy toy you bought them.
They will remember the time you spent with them.” – Kevin Heath
Tanzania Safari Activities to Engage for a 3-g family travel
Discovering a new world often makes you learn new things. At home, every person may have their hobbies and pastimes.
But when different generations of a family travel together, they often find new activities to try together.
This allows everyone the opportunity to broaden their understanding, knowledge, and perceptions about each other.
Twins and Teens
In general, children under 12 years should always be accompanied by a responsible guardian at all times, and no one, child or adult, should wander without a guide.
Children over three years are welcome at Tarangire Treetops, a boutique tree lodge in a baobab grove on a private Maasai concession just outside Tarangire.
A range of activities is available in Tanzania where children will start to engage themselves.
- They can go on a 4wd safari to visualise the finest wilderness of Africa with their own eyes rather than on television.
- Tanzania is blessed with beautiful beaches. So after your safari, spend some family time on the beach.
- Do snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking, kite surfing, paddle boarding, and much more.
Mixed ages and young persons
As Tanzania is a dream holiday destination for the entire family, there are also many adventurous things to do for you.
- You can go for a game drive in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro to explore the wildlife.
- A walking safari is also an excellent way to witness the animals by stepping into their habitat.
- You can be the hero of your little one by biking around the savannah plains.
- Canoeing and bird watching are also unique things to do during your Family Holiday In Tanzania.
Senior members
For elderly persons, Tanzania is also a fit-around safari destination. It’s all about your unique choice, priorities, and choosing experiences that are close to your heart.
However, you may need to focus more on the relaxation and luxury side of things, rather than on a hectic, action-packed vacation.
- You can go on a birding safari in Lake Manyara National Park.
- Many older safari goers love to get off the beaten track by cycling safari.
Where To Go in Tanzania on A Multi-Generation Safari
Tanzania is suitable for every generation of safari-goers. It offers some rewarding safari destinations that can give unique experiences to all ages.
The Serengeti – From witnessing the Great Migration to catching sight of predators, you and your children will be amazed by this national park.
Ngorongoro Crater – The views from the Crater rim are sure to have your little ones gasping with awe. The scenic vistas alone are worth a visit for elderly members, too.
Selous Game Reserve – The Selous Game Reserve, filled with palm trees, boat cruises, and of course, some wonderful wildlife, is perfect for a quieter Family Safari To Tanzania!
Zanzibar Island– You can afford to miss spending quality time with your family on the white-sanded beaches of Zanzibar!
The Best Time when every generation can enjoy the Tanzania safari
Generally, the Best Time To Visit Tanzania is the dry months of July to October, when wildlife viewing is dramatic, easy, and action-packed.
However, there are pros and cons to every month of the year, as the peak season also has the con that it’s generally crowded. So, travelling in the festive season runs in December, is excellent for Multi-Generation travellers.
This is the best time to celebrate Christmas with your family and kids.
