After breakfast, transfer to Serengeti National Park. You can opt for a 1-hour flight from Arusha to Serengeti, or take a 6-hour scenic drive (if you prefer the journey by road). Check into a family-friendly lodge such as Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge or Mbalageti Serengeti, which offer family rooms, child- friendly services, and swimming pools. After check-in, head out for a short afternoon game drive to get a glimpse of Serengeti’s wildlife. You might see giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and more. Enjoy a relaxing family dinner at the lodge.

Start early with a morning game drive to spot lions, elephants and cheetahs in the wild. Your guide will keep the kids engaged with fun facts about the animals. For families with kids 6 years and above, consider a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti at sunrise (extra charge). Return to the lodge for a delicious family-friendly lunch. Head out for another short afternoon game drive or relax at the lodge with some downtime. Enjoy another family meal at the lodge and unwind after a full day of adventure.

After breakfast, enjoy a morning game drive in Serengeti, or simply relax at the lodge. Transfer to the Serengeti airstrip for a 1-hour flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, transfer to your family-friendly resort in Zanzibar, such as Zanzibar Serena Hotel, Park Hyatt Zanzibar, or Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa. Spend the afternoon at Nungwi Beach or Kendwa Beach, where kids can swim in the calm, shallow waters, build sandcastles, or play beach games. Enjoy a beach front dinner at the resort.

After breakfast, take a guided tour of Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar. The whole family can explore the narrow streets, learn about Zanzibar’s rich history, culture, and spice trade. Don’t forget to visit the Old Fort! Enjoy a local lunch in Stone Town, with options for both adults and children. You can sample local Zanzibari dishes like pilau rice, grilled fish, and fresh tropical fruits. Head to Prison Island for the swim with turtles tour. This is a fun and exciting experience for kids, where you can swim with green sea turtles in the crystal-clear waters around the island. It's a safe and unique experience for families to interact with these gentle creatures. Return to the resort and enjoy a relaxed dinner with a mix of local and international cuisine.

Spend a relaxed morning at the beach. The kids can swim, play in the sand, or join in activities like kayaking or snorkeling. If your resort offers a kids' club, let the little ones enjoy some time there while the adults relax. You can also take a dhow cruise along the Zanzibar coast, a traditional boat ride that offers a unique experience for families. Alternatively, take a dolphin- watching tour if your kids enjoy boat trips and wildlife. Have lunch at the resort, followed by some more beach time or relaxation by the pool. Enjoy a leisurely dinner at the resort, with a wide range of kid-friendly options to satisfy everyone’s tastes.
