A Guide to Luxury Family Safari Retreats in Tanzania’s Wild Heart

Visiting Tanzania and going on a safari is something that is on many bucket lists. Therefore, if visiting with family, make sure to plan out everything in order to have a fabulous time.

When to Go

If one wishes to go on a variety of tours in Tanzania, the best time to visit for a variety of wildlife tours is during the dry season, which stretches from June to October. During this period, animals congregate around waterholes as water sources dwindle, making them easier to spot. The peak season for crowds falls between August and October, with September being the busiest month.

Luxury Safaris

When it comes to experiencing Tanzania’s wildlife with your family, luxury safaris offer unparalleled comfort and personalized experiences.  Imagine private game drives led by expert guides, catered meals enjoyed amidst breathtaking scenery and luxurious accommodations designed with families in mind. The likes of SkySafari can help curate an unforgettable Tanzanian adventure for you and your loved ones, ensuring a blend of wildlife encounters, relaxation, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Luxury family safaris in Tanzania can vary greatly in cost depending on the specific experiences you choose. While the ultimate luxury safari with private chefs, hot air balloon rides, and helicopter tours could have an unlimited budget, a more realistic starting point for high-end accommodations and experiences is around USD 1,500 per person, per night.

Where to Stay

Luxury safari retreats are scattered across Tanzania’s national parks. Consider opulent lodges with private balconies or intimate tented camps for a truly immersive experience.
