Family Safaris in Tanzania during this Easter Festival : Are you busy exploring the options for spending your precious Easter Holiday with your family? Deciding where to land with your family for an unforgettable safari can be challenging if you are not aware of some hidden gems found in Tanzania that would make your family safari exceptional. However, for safety purposes, children below 6 years old are strictly prohibited from entering various tourist areas including parks, game reserves, controlled areas, conservation areas, and climbing mountains.
While in Tanzania, you have numerous options to go and spend your valued holiday with your loved ones. Here are some picks that will make your family incomparable;
The “endless plains” of Serengeti
This is where you will explore the famous event in the world, the Great Migration – a migration of over 1.5 million wildebeests from the south of Serengeti to the north part of the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. You and your family will be moved when exploring the movement of this large migratory herd. The most attractive event of this migration is how the herd crosses the mighty Mara River, one of the tragic obstacles of the herd.
Hot-air ballooning is another thing to do in Serengeti with your family. Having that “bird eye’s view” of the plains of Serengeti is sensational. A crew of over fifteen people can take off and float above the air enjoying the scenic views of wildlife, relief, and stunning vegetation. A game drive through the Serengeti’s plains will reward you with fascinating views of wild animals including the Big Five. You can also the special Rhino viewing point where you will be thrilled by the views of the rare black rhino.
Ngorongoro Crater
On an organized family group, you can enjoy the scenic views of the largest intact caldera in the world. Activities that you can enjoy doing while in this magnificent crater include game drives, walking tours, bird watching as well as witnessing the sunset and sunrise. In the short grasslands, you will see the “King of the Jungle” resting while in the lush shrubs and untouched tall grasses you may encounter the rhinos usually in groups of two or three.
Tarangire National Park
Have you heard of Tarangire, the home of avian species? It hosts the largest number of species of birds in Tanzania, over 550 species to be exact. This park will also enable you to interact with the world’s largest land animal, the elephant as they are highly concentrated in this park. The Tarangire River which serves as the “lifeline” of this park attracts thousands of animals close to it. This will make it easier for you to enjoy the scenic views of such mysterious animals.
Lake Manyara National Park
Situated in the Arusha region in northern Tanzania, Lake Manyara National Park is famously known for its marvelous and unique species of lions, the tree-climbing lions. Its large area is covered by the giant soda lake whose shores appear pink at a far look because of a large population of pink flamingos.
Tree canopy walks, canoe safari, sport fishing, bird watching, and visiting the Mto wa Mbu village are some of the unforgettable things you can do at Lake Manyara National Park.
Zanzibar
Situated in the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar is an idyllic spice island with spectacular beaches where you can enjoy various water sports like swimming, snorkeling, and canoeing. Zanzibar is also endowed with a heritage of historical architecture dating back to the Portuguese and Arabian eras. A good example is Stone Town which was built many centuries ago but remains a figure for the modern generation to stare at. Your family will be happier walking through the streets of this town without forgetting to taste the local cuisines at the Forodhani market.
There are tons of options for your family safari in Tanzania. It would be nice if you planned a trip so you can discover the untold wonders of this fabulous country.
