Tanzania Family Journey: A Serengeti Safari
Adventure is calling from the wild African savanna! Head out on safari in Tanzania’s world-renowned national parks and conservation areas to see huge herds of wildebeests and zebras; playful elephants; and cunning hunters such as lions, cheetahs and Nile crocodiles. From Arusha to Mto wa Mbu, taste bananas fresh from the farm, learn about traditional crafts and hear how locals are working to protect the cultures and creatures of their remarkable homeland.
Highlights
Meet a local artist in the Tanzanian village of Mto wa Mbu where you’ll get a hands-on lesson in traditional art techniques and materials before creating your own artwork made of banana leaves, Head out on the Serengeti Plain for a safari adventure in search of the "Big 5", Take in the spectacular views as you walk along the rim of the massive Ngorongoro Crater and meet a local artist who will guide you in painting a canvas inspired by your adventure, Visit a Maasai village and join forces with Clean Cookstove Project- an initiative to reduce household air pollution and help install a new stove in a village boma.

Tour Tips
Meals
Eating is a big part of traveling and we encourage you to experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Its important to remember, that food may be different from what you are used to at home and that some things may not be available in other countries.Some meals are included in the trip price, while others are not, to allow flexibility and choice to you and your family. For non-included meals our CEOs will still make arrangements for the group to eat together, which allows you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and approximate budget (per person) for meals not included.Throughout this trip, breakfast is included daily (ranging from continental to buffet depending on the trip). Drinking water is available throughout (don't forget your refillable water bottle as you will have access to either filtered water from hotels or as made available by the CEO). Healthy, local snacks will also be available.Note that any special meal requirements or dietary restrictions need to be specified at time of booking.
Optional Activities
No optional activities
What to Take
You will be on the move a lot, so our advice is to pack as lightly as possible. Your baggage should be clearly labelled and restricted to one soft compact suitcase, sports bag, or backpack. A daypack is also essential for carrying everyday items. Space is limited on transportation, so there is a limit of one main piece of luggage per person. Porters may not always be available, so be prepared to carry your own bags.
Group Leader Description
All National Geographic Family Journeys with G Adventures group trips are accompanied by two of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense; you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
