Family Tour of Kenya & Tanzania

(11 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Nairobi, Maasai Mara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti

This luxurious Kenya and Tanzania tour is ideal for families interested in exploring East Africa’s most iconic game parks with time for relaxing and enjoying family-friendly activities.

Begin in Nairobi, Kenya’s bustling capital, with a stay at one of the city’s most exclusive hotels. During flexible private touring, visit an elephant and rhino orphanage run by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Also visit the Karen Blixen House, where the writer of Out of Africa lived, and the Giraffe Centre to learn about and feed endangered Rothschild’s giraffes. Other touring options around Nairobi include participating in philanthropic activities and visiting local museums and crafts galleries.

Continue to Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya’s most legendary safari destination, and stay at one of the most luxurious camps in the country. Maasai Mara is renowned for stunning scenery and abundant wildlife. It’s also a great place to witness the famed wildebeest migration (which also passes through the Serengeti in Tanzania). During unforgettable game drives, look for rhinos and other members of the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants and Cape buffaloes—as well as cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, ostriches, hippos, crocodiles and various antelope species. If desired, enjoy a walking safari. Also visit a Maasai village to learn about the Maasai way of life.

Next, visit spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, a wildlife-filled volcanic caldera that’s part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stay at a luxury lodge perched on the crater rim, and enjoy panoramic views and exciting game drives inside the crater to spot wildlife such as the Big Five and hippos. If desired, Artisans of Leisure can also arrange philanthropic activities or cultural touring in the area, including visits to Maasai villages, local markets, coffee plantations or Oldupai (Olduvai) Gorge.

Conclude your tour in Serengeti National Park, and stay at one of the top luxury lodges in East Africa. The region is known for its abundant wildlife—including elephants, leopards and lions—and prime opportunities for viewing the wildebeest migration. There will also be plenty of time for spa treatments, gourmet meals, hot air balloon rides, swimming and visits to local villages.
