Tanzania family safari

Overview

It is in our culture to care and love our families in Tanzania and we spread this phenomenon to our Family Safaris at Eagle Eye Expeditions. Whether is a family get together trip, or a regular family safari we will provide you with a bush experience you have all pictured and wished you would have had once you down in our amazing country Tanzania. The itinerary we have prepared includes Traditional Culture and Wildlife. The family will get to see 3 tribes in the Northern Tanzania which up to this day still live their lives proudly traditional. These are Maasai (Livestock keepers), Hadzabe (Hunters and Gathers), and Datoga (The Blacksmith). The family will get to learn and appreciate the different perspective of life and we make sure that we take our guests to the most authentic families. The Itineraries also have a large portion of wilderness experience. The family will visit 3 amazing parks for wildlife viewing, (Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti). It is a 12 days safari as shown in the coming itinerary.
