8 Days Luxury Family Safari in Tanzania – Fly in Serengeti
A Journey Through Tanzania’s Wild Heart
This 8-day luxury family safari in Tanzania is more than a journey between parks — it is a shared story written in dust, golden light, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Designed for families who want space, comfort, and genuine connection, this safari flows from the peaceful highlands of Arusha, into the remote wilderness of North Serengeti, through the classic plains of Central Serengeti, and finally into the breathtaking natural amphitheater of the Ngorongoro Crater.
With private guiding, hand-selected family-friendly lodges, and thoughtfully paced days, every moment invites curiosity, wonder, and togetherness — from children discovering animal tracks on a walking safari, to parents watching the sun melt into the horizon with a drink in hand.

Day 1: Arrival in Tanzania – A Gentle Welcome in Arusha
- Arusha, Tanzania
Your family arrives at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you are warmly welcomed and transferred to a tranquil lodge nestled among gardens and coffee plantations on the outskirts of Arusha.
Here, time slows. The air is fresh, Mount Meru rises in the distance, and the sounds of the city fade away. It is the perfect place to rest after your journey and gently step into the rhythm of Africa.
Accommodation options
- Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Drinks
Day 2-4 : Flying North – Into the Remote Serengeti
- Serengeti, Tanzania
Day 2: Flying North – Into the Remote Serengeti
After breakfast, you transfer to the airport and board a scenic flight to North Serengeti, watching the landscape unfold beneath you — rivers, plains, and endless horizons.
Landing deep in the wilderness, your guide greets you and your safari begins immediately. Elephants wander across the plains, giraffes move like silhouettes against the sky, and the promise of adventure hangs in the air.
That afternoon, enjoy your first sundowner experience — a simple, magical moment as the sun sets over the Serengeti and the land glows amber.
Day 3: North Serengeti – Migration, Rivers & Night Sounds
Today is dedicated to discovery. Morning game drives follow wildlife trails toward the Mara River, where herds gather and predators wait — every turn holding anticipation.
In the afternoon, return to camp for rest before heading out on a night game drive (where permitted). As darkness falls, the Serengeti reveals a different world — nocturnal creatures emerge, and the night air fills with mystery.
Children listen wide-eyed as hyenas call in the distance, and the stars stretch endlessly overhead.
Day 4: Another Day in the North – At Nature’s Pace
A second full day allows you to slow down and go deeper. Perhaps a long morning game drive with a bush picnic, or time spent simply watching wildlife from camp as herds move past.
This is the luxury of space — no rushing, no crowds, just nature unfolding on its own terms.
Day 5: Journey South – Central Serengeti Plains
After breakfast, begin a scenic drive through the Serengeti, turning the journey itself into a game drive. The landscape changes subtly — kopjes rise from the plains, and wildlife becomes more concentrated.
Arrive in Central Serengeti in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon safari in the famous Seronera Valley, known for lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
As evening falls, enjoy a private sundowner overlooking the plains — a moment of stillness shared as a family.

Day 6: On Foot & Toward the Crater Highlands
- Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania
Begin the morning with a guided walking safari (where permitted), a wonderful experience for families to learn about tracks, insects, plants, and the smaller stories of the bush.
After lunch, drive toward the Ngorongoro Highlands, ascending into cooler air and dramatic scenery. From the crater rim, the view opens to one of Africa’s most extraordinary landscapes.
Accommodation options
- Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Drinks
Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater – A Natural Wonderland
- Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania
Early morning descent into the Ngorongoro Crater feels like entering another world. Within this vast natural bowl, wildlife thrives in remarkable density.
Your game drive reveals black rhinos, lion prides, elephants, flamingos, and vast herds grazing peacefully. A picnic lunch on the crater floor completes this unforgettable experience.
In the afternoon, return to Arusha, carrying stories that will be told for years to come.
