Safari & Spice Family Holiday

Stay at peaceful Saadani, where the national park backs right up to the Indian Ocean - a perfect combination of beach and wildlife. Your unique beach camp, in a region barely touched by tourism, has lovely thatched tented bungalows. It will be hard to beat the excitement of the walking safari here. With your heart in your mouth you'll spot elands, zebras, giraffes, oryx and perhaps the rare Roosevelt sable. A relaxing river boat trip will allow a glimpse of hippos, crocodiles and many bird species. You will also have the chance to visit a local school, meet the children and maybe strike up a friendly game of football in Sadaani, before returning to Tanzania's lively capital Dar Es Salaam.

During 2009, the Safari and Spice tour will include a special training course for children in how to be a safari guide. From a beautiful base at ‘A Tent with a View' lodge in Saadani National Park, young adventurers get the chance to explore the bush with experienced guides, and learn to identify animals, their footprints and dung, birds and trees. There will also be a perfect chance to test the new found knowledge, and show off to mum and dad the following day when everyone heads out on a full day game drive with boat safari. All participating young guides will be handed official uniforms on completion of their big day in the bush.From your comfortable lodge in Mikumi National Park you take a game drive searching for elephants, buffalos, wildebeest, impalas and other antelopes. Keep your eyes peeled for predators - lions and leopards will not be far away.

Discover the colour and life of an African market in Morogoro, at the foot of the Uluguru Mountains.
