Private East Africa travel
From Arusha through Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Zanzibar, this 10-day private journey is shaped around the experiences, pace and accommodation level that suit you.
The journey
A family safari should leave room for everyone. For 10 Days Great Migration Bush to Beach Family Safari, the route is deliberately paced through Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Zanzibar. The driving is planned with realistic distances, proper comfort stops and stays where family room options can be considered from the start. Time in the vehicle is never treated as the point of the holiday.
Your guide reads the day with your family in mind—wildlife moments when attention is high, a return to camp before everyone is spent, and flexibility for the things children unexpectedly love. 10 Days Great Migration Bush to Beach Family Safari can be refined around your dates, room requirements and the experiences you want to prioritise.

Availability changes with season and lead time. We show three appropriate starting points for each destination, then recommend live options that match your dates and room requirements.
Absolutely. The structure is a considered starting point. We can adjust the pace, add nights, change regions, add a beach extension or refine the balance between wildlife, culture and rest.
