If you have time, this is a wonderful trip in East Africa, incorporating the highlights of both Kenya and Tanzania.

Have fun with the locals on a guided walk around the village of Mto Wa Mbu, Camp in the heart of the Serengeti, surrounded by wildlife, Try and count the 30,000 animals which live in the Ngorongoro Crater, Meet the Chagga people on the slopes of mighty snow-capped Kilimanjaro, Head up into the lush and remote Usambura Mountains for walks and picnics, Relax beneath the palm trees at our Indian Ocean beachside bungalows, Taste ginger, vanilla and cinnamon on a plantation tour of the spice island of Zanzibar

Take a family trip to the zoo or better yet, see iconic animals up close in-the-wild on this astounding adventure through colourful East Africa. Embark on a safari in world famous game reserves for a chance to spot the Big Five: lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard. Visit smaller parks and farms that shelter monkeys, deadly snakes, giraffes, flamingos and more. Get to know some local school kids and ride a camel to meet noble Maasai tribespeople. This adventure will create family memories to last a lifetime. Our Intrepid Family Adventures are designed specifically for the spirited family. We understand that travelling with kids sometimes requires a slightly different perspective. Keeping this in mind, we travel at a slower speed - recognising that showing your family around our exotic destinations can take time. By travelling at a relaxed pace, while still offering plenty of optional activities along the way, we're providing your family with the ultimate travel experience together.We limit travel times so that you're usually not on transport for more than seven hours or travelling too long after dark. We also try - where possible - to ensure you have at least two nights in each destination so you are not constantly having to unpack those bags. Accommodation is chosen carefully to ensure your family gets the best of both worlds, with some of the creature comforts of home as well as experiencing accommodation unique to the region you are travelling through. Wherever possible you will stay in hotels with small comforts to make your stay more enjoyable - such as restaurants nearby, or accommodation with a pool. On some trips you may even find your family being rocked to sleep on an overnight sleeper train or drifting off while camped out under a canopy of stars - and we reckon it'll be these experiences the kids will love and remember the most. Best of all, we find trips with children are so successful because kids have such a special ability to break down barriers with their natural curiosity, and because delighted locals always greet them with much affection. For all these reasons and more, you'll discover that Intrepid Family Adventures are an amazing experience for all.
