Experience Overview
Experience East Africa with your family as you discover the wildlife, history, people, culture and beauty that spans across this incredible landscape.
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!
Highlights
- Encounter roaring lions and magnificent zebra in the famous Serengeti National Park as our vehicles get you close to the action in this spectacular wildlife arena.
- Experience the thrill of camping among nature and drift off to sleep to the sounds of the African night.
- Meet some Maasai Mamas (the name for women artisans in Tanzania) and learn about their village life, including how to prepare a local Swahili dish.
- Take a mind-blowing safari across the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater for a chance to see the endangered black rhinoceros.
- Accompanied by a local crew – a leader, driver and cook – you and your family are in excellent hands for the duration of your adventure.

Fun and economical way to take the kids of safari - great to benefit from local guides in a responsible way. My fifth intrepid trip - first with my kids. I suspect there will be more…

Amazing guide (Cornelius) who made an engaging itinerary in a spectacular setting (Tanzania) infinitely better which has helped me to experience the best holiday of my life

I would recommend booking one week of safari with kids. The two-week agenda is too long for kids, in my opinion. The one-week trip is quite fulfilling and gives kids the opportunity to see a lot of wildlife.

Lovely short trip for families, a lot of travelling with may not be appropriate for younger families. The experience of animals however is well worth it and my daughter enjoyed every second

This trip was totally amazing and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is slightly basic as is stated but we loved the camping, and the food was excellent. Zack, Godfrey and Charles, our guide, driver and chef respectively were amazing and did everything to make our holiday great in a very relaxed way; they created a real team spirit. Tanzania and its people are......I have no words to describe how they affected me and of course seeing the animals in real life is an outstanding experience. The Intrepid trip notes were not comprehensive enough, but having done one trip with them now, I would not hesitate to book with them again as their 'on the ground' organisation is obviously excellent which is what matters most.

The trip was absolutely breathtaking and absolutely exceeded my expectations. As a 16 year old, the family trip was the perfect choice and I couldn’t have asked for more. The crew was extremely approachable and friendly and I enjoyed every single day. Because of the family trip, I also got to meet other teenagers, and it was really fun to socialise. I couldn’t recommend the trip more, as it really is a once in a lifetime experience.

Our trip was truly a trip of a family trip of a lifetime. We felt supported and safe the whole way through. We will book with Intrepid again

This was the most amazing trip for our family of five. We couldn’t be happier with the agenda, the accommodations, and the beautiful scenery. All of the crew that helped us through this week were absolutely wonderful, and if we could be back here next week we would! We will miss you all.

A trip of a lifetime with excellent, engaging and fun crew. Perfect for families. We experienced so many animal encounters (lion hunting, baby cheetah next to the truck feeding, elefants crossing in front of truck, etc.) and learnt a lot about African tribes and their way of living. The early morning starts were totally worth it. Absolutely loved it.
08/13/2022
Our trip was more than I could hope for. We saw so many different wild life, cultures and tasted new foods. Most important was our crew whom made our Safari the best experience. Thank you all.
