Family FYI: Did you know how to say "hello" in Swahili? You'll learn that and more around an evening campfire in Tarangire National Park on this family Africa tour and safari, where you'll meet Maasai villagers and enjoy up-close encounters with Africa's Big Five on daily game drives.
There's no more enriching family vacation than a real African safari – on Tauck Bridges’ family Africa tour! On morning and afternoon game drives, our experienced tracking guides will help your family spot Tanzania’s Big Five as you roam through national parks like Kilimanjaro, Lake Manyara and Serengeti from luxurious tented camps. Soar over the savanna in a hot air balloon at dawn... meet the Maasai and learn about their way of life... picnic in a 2-million-year-old crater... and visit a gorge where some of the oldest human fossils were found. Tauck Bridges' family Africa tour is truly the family journey of a lifetime!
