Nyerere National Park promises an unparalleled safari adventure for intrepid explorers. Spanning three times the size of Kruger National Park, it boasts abundant populations of Africa's majestic wildlife.

Exploring Nyerere, visitors revel in the tranquility of unspoiled landscapes, rarely encountering other tourists. Children, in particular, delight in the diverse wildlife and array of activities, from serene boat trips along the river to thrilling game drives in open vehicles.

For the best wildlife sightings, the dry season (July-October) is optimal. During this period, a multitude of animals gathers around water sources, offering captivating opportunities for children to observe nature's wonders up close.

This morning, you'll transition from Siwandu to the nearby airstrip for a 90-minute flight to Ruaha. Unlike Nyerere's lush and humid landscapes, Ruaha offers an arid environment characterized by expansive savannahs, rugged rock formations, and iconic baobab trees.

Ruaha National Park boasts Tanzania's largest elephant population, captivating adults and children alike with its abundant wildlife. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed at Ikuka Safari Camp, perched atop a scenic escarpment amidst the park, offering breathtaking views. These accommodations cater to families of up to five, welcoming children aged seven and older.

Throughout your park visit, you'll have the opportunity to engage in twice-daily activities. Mainly, we encourage participation in game drives aboard open-sided vehicles, although walking safaris are available for guests aged 16 and above. The park boasts a remarkable array of wildlife, including lions, elephants, leopards, and crocodiles, ensuring families can fully immerse themselves in the experience.

After an unforgettable safari adventure, it's time to unwind and bask in the sunshine on the beach. Ikuka Safari Lodge will arrange transportation to the airport for your domestic flight to the picturesque Zanzibar. As you approach the island, you'll be greeted by the brilliant blue sky and the breathtakingly clear waters surrounding it.

Upon arrival, a driver will welcome you and escort you to the luxurious Baraza Resort & Spa, where you'll spend five nights in a lavish Two-Bedroom Villa. The journey from the airport to the stunning Michamvi Peninsula on the eastern coast of the island takes approximately an hour, where you'll discover the all-inclusive resort nestled amidst lush gardens and a pristine stretch of beach.

Baraza features 30 villas, each with its unique style and size, making it an ideal destination for the perfect family retreat. The Garden View Villa and Sultan’s Sea Facing Villa offer two bedrooms each, ensuring a comfortable and luxurious experience for families.

The resort provides numerous family-friendly amenities, including a picturesque sandy beach, a serene lagoon, a refreshing swimming pool, lush gardens, and a water sports center with a dedicated children's club. For added peace of mind, babysitting and childminding services are also available.

Families can immerse themselves in the enchanting beauty of Tanzania’s Spice Islands, whether by lounging by the infinity pool, exploring the crystal-clear reefs while snorkeling, or simply unwinding with a good book on the beach, accompanied by the gentle sea breeze.

Before departing Tanzania, indulge in the ocean breeze one last time as you make your way to Zanzibar Airport. Take this moment to ready yourself for your upcoming international flight, reflecting on the cherished memories of your time spent in this stunning destination.
