7 Days Serengeti Family Safari

Family Safari Questions

• Is this a private safari?

  Yes. Your safari vehicle and Tartaruga Safaris driver-guide are reserved for your family. We confirm your departure dates and room arrangements before booking.

• Is the itinerary suitable for young children?

  Tell us every child’s age so we can review driving days, meal times, room layouts and vehicle arrangements with you. The journey from Karatu to Serengeti is a long transfer day. If your family prefers less time on the road, ask us to quote an extra night or a suitable fly-in alternative.

• Are children free?

  Our child policy offers free travel for children aged 0–4. Please provide their ages and room-sharing arrangements so your written quotation clearly confirms the applicable inclusions. Older children are quoted individually.

• Will we see the Great Migration or the Big Five?

  Wildlife sightings and river crossings cannot be guaranteed. This itinerary focuses on central Serengeti. Tell us if migration viewing is your priority so we can discuss seasonal areas and adjust the route and quotation.

• Which hotels and camps will we stay in?

  The itinerary includes one night in Arusha, one in Karatu, three in central Serengeti and one in the Ngorongoro highlands or Karatu. We propose named lodges and camps for your preferred accommodation level and confirm family-room availability before booking.

• How much does the safari cost, and what deposit is required?

  We quote in USD per person and show the total family cost, based on your dates, group composition and accommodation choice. The standard safari deposit is 20%, unless another arrangement is agreed in writing. Your quotation will state the balance-payment schedule.

• Can we change the itinerary or add Zanzibar?

  Yes. We can adapt the safari length, pace and accommodation, or add a Zanzibar stay, cultural visit or another destination. Tell us your priorities before booking so we can explain the extra travel time and provide an updated quotation.

• Can you cater for dietary needs and food allergies?

  Tell us about vegetarian, vegan, halal or other dietary needs when you enquire. For allergies, please explain the specific ingredients and requirements. We will check arrangements with the selected accommodation providers and confirm what they can accommodate before booking.

• What should our family bring?

  Bring comfortable clothing for warm days, a warm layer for cooler mornings, walking shoes, sun hats, sunscreen, reusable water bottles and any personal medicines. Children may enjoy binoculars, a wildlife notebook and something quiet for longer transfers. Keep essential documents and medicines in your hand luggage.

• How do we enquire or book this safari?

  Use the Booking Now button or the Enquiry tab, email info@tartarugasafaris.com, or WhatsApp +255 667 767 553.
