Is this trip right for you?
verified
This is an overland trip. That means you’ll be travelling with a group in a purpose-built vehicle, visiting remote communities, setting up your own tent, occasionally roughing it in the bush with no facilities, and getting the best possible views of the Big Five. While the trucks don’t have air conditioning, they do have sliding windows which let in the breeze and make it even easier to take spectacular snaps of the local wildlife. The drive days can be long, but it’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie. For more info on this style of travel, see our Africa overland page: tuuur.com/africa/overland

Please take into consideration if you are travelling with younger children that the going can be slow over the long distances and often bumpy roads. A little bit of patience will go a long way towards your enjoyment of this beautiful land! Some days have driving times of 6-7 hours. You’ll experience some early mornings, when Africa is at its best.
verified
This is a participatory camping trip and everyone will embrace the team spirit by helping with camp setup, food preparation and cleaning. You and your family will be putting up and taking down your tent as you move from place to place.
verified
Please consider the season and research the weather conditions. Remember to come prepared with adequate clothing.

If you wish to spend more time in Nairobi, we'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability).

Itinerary
Take a walk on the wild side in Kenya and Tanzania
Experience East Africa with your family as you discover the wildlife, history, people, culture and beauty that spans across this incredible landscape. Roam the famous Serengeti National Park, nearly 15,000 sq km of rolling savanna that shelters an astounding array of animals, from miniature dik-dik antelopes to the noble African elephant. Spot wildlife while taking in mind-blowing views from the edge of Ngorongoro Crater and listen to the sounds of the African night in a thrilling camping experience. This is also a human journey that puts you in the heart of the valleys once inhabited by some of humankind's earliest ancestors – where you’ll have the opportunity to learn from the Maasai community – hear about the customs and traditions of village life and even prepare a local Swahili dish. If you’re looking for a family adventure full of friendly folk and some of the best game-viewing in Africa, then this will truly be a trip to remember!

Guides were spectacular. They went above and beyond to provide a good experience for a very reasonable price. Our group had numerous encounters with animals across the plains, which was truly unforgettable.

As a family of 4, with kids ages 11 and 9, we had a fantastic time on this trip. It was well organised and planned to keep the kids engaged, and enjoyable for all. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and felt it was perfect for our kids ages or older.

I really can recommend this trip, it‘s a great experiance for the whole family. We had an excellent crew caring a lot for us. We were able to spot a great range of animals- it was amazing! Next time I would book a longer tour- 8 days was too short.

We had an amazing family adventure with Susan, Sam & Caleb. The equipment provided was great, information upfront was very accurate and we always felt safe.
I would not recommend this for kids younger than 8yrs as the days are long. Early mornings, late nights and long days of driving on bumpy and dusty roads. Our twins are 9.5yrs old and had the best time of their lives!
