There comes a time in life when the kids have grown up, careers are stable, and we start thinking about treating our parents to a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Perhaps your mom has always dreamed of seeing the Serengeti’s Great Migration, or your dad has always wanted to witness the majesty of Mount Kilimanjaro. If you’re now in a position to make their dreams come true, here are the two most important factors to consider when planning a safari with mature travellers in Tanzania.

1. Consider Your Parents' Health

Tanzania offers a range of safari experiences suited for different levels of mobility and health conditions. If your parents prefer a more relaxed journey, we recommend visiting Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater in a private safari vehicle with an expert guide from I Artist Adventure. These destinations allow for breathtaking wildlife encounters without the need for extensive physical activity. To ensure their comfort and well-being:
  • Choose a non-strenuous safari option: Our private game drives in comfortable 4x4 vehicles provide excellent visibility and minimal physical exertion.
  • Avoid long road transfers: Instead, opt for a fly-in safari to reduce travel fatigue. Charter flights between destinations like Arusha, Serengeti, and Zanzibar make moving between parks easy and enjoyable.
  • Stay at lodges with modern amenities: We partner with accommodations that provide top-notch comfort, including wheelchair accessibility, on-site medical assistance, and gourmet dining.
  • Minimize health risks: While Tanzania requires a yellow fever vaccine for some travellers, malaria-free areas like Arusha and certain parts of the Serengeti make for excellent choices.
Safari days can start early, but with I Artist Adventure, we customize your schedule to ensure your parents can enjoy game drives at their own pace.

2. Consider Your Parents' Interests

Tanzania offers much more than just wildlife safaris. I Artist Adventure specializes in curating personalized experiences tailored to your family’s interests. Here are some great options:
  • For wildlife lovers: Witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti, where millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the plains in a dramatic survival journey.
  • For cultural enthusiasts: Experience authentic Maasai village visits, where elders share their traditions, or take a historical tour in Stone Town, Zanzibar.
  • For relaxation seekers: After the thrill of a safari, unwind on the pristine white-sand beaches of Zanzibar or Pemba Island.
  • For photography lovers: The Ngorongoro Crater, often called the Eighth Wonder of the World, offers an unparalleled backdrop for incredible wildlife photography.
  • For adventure seekers: Take a scenic hot-air balloon safari over the Serengeti for an unforgettable bird’s-eye view of the landscapes and wildlife.
