TRIP REPORT ON TANZANIA

We ve searched for family-friendly lodges and camps and are happy to report many of our favorite camps and lodges now offer family rooms; some even house accommodation. Depending on the size of your family group this might be a better option than the standard twin or triple (even quad) share accommodation.

We recognize each family group, because of ages, interests and travel style have their own requirements and preferences. We include sightseeing everyone can enjoy and activities interesting for all generations.

Personal note from Margaret Sanko: I can think of no better way to reconnect with your family, than an African safari vacation! There is something for everyone, plus a tremendous opportunity to educate the children about game conservation, the environment and different cultures. I ve found FAMILY is a big part of the local cultures, children are adored and welcomed. You ll experience adventure, down time to reflect and converse, awe inspiring vistas, not to mention seeing up close (wild) animals, animals, animals! It s back to basics with fresh air, sitting around the dinner table (being served delicious, home cooked meals), the sights and sounds of nature, enjoying time to simply contemplate the endless stars in the African sky.
