This is a lively and colorful excursion meant to provide an authentic window into local life.
- While at Gibbs Farm, participate in family-friendly activities such as bicycling, exploration of the farm's gardens and bakery, tours of the elephant caves, and walks through the Ngorongoro forest. The farm's charming cottages boast private patios, fireplaces, and outdoor showers, and a family cottage is available as well, all nestled in a lush jungle landscape. A game drive into the Ngorongoro Crater will give your family its first taste of Tanzania's big wildlife. Let the kids stand on the seats and pop their heads out the roof for a new thrill!
- Fly to the remote Northern Serengeti, where the plains near Kuria Hills host the millions of wildebeest and zebra that are part of the great migration, as well as the predators that follow them. The Lemala Kuria Hills camp is perfectly positioned at the center of the action and offers a gorgeous home base from which to explore the surrounding bush. Private vehicles are available for families to enjoy this inspiring experience together. The camp itself offers luxurious amenities and a swimming pool that children are sure to love.
