Families visiting Tanzania and Zanzibar can choose from wildlife, nature, cultural and water experiences within Beach Safari's current offer. The best choice depends on your children's ages, interests and the pace of your holiday. Always check the requirements of the individual activity before deciding whether it suits your family.
This shortlist focuses on activities within Beach Safari's current offer that give families different ways to experience Tanzania and Zanzibar. They are compared by setting, type of experience and the family interest they may suit. Exact age, supervision and physical requirements should be confirmed for each activity.
Best for an underwater experience: Zanzibar Submarine Adventure offers a way to explore the reef environment from a different perspective.
Best for combining nature and local experiences: the Jozani and spice experience brings together different aspects of Zanzibar within one activity.
Best for time on the water: Lake Duluti gives families an activity in a freshwater setting in Tanzania.
Best for a wider Zanzibar family stay: Zanzibar Family Escape provides a package option for families who want more than a single activity.
These labels describe the main reason a family might compare each option. They do not mean that every activity is appropriate for every child. Suitability depends on the current conditions of the individual experience and your own family.
The activities in this guide are part of Beach Safari's current offer and provide different types of experiences rather than repeating several similar options. The selection considers the setting, the nature of the activity and how it could fit within a wider Tanzania or Zanzibar family holiday.
Age suitability is not inferred simply because an activity appears in this guide. Before booking, families should check current age requirements, supervision, physical requirements, transfers and other conditions for the specific experience.
You can also browse all Beach Safari activities to compare the wider current offer.
Best for: families interested in an underwater experience and the marine environment around Zanzibar.
The Zanzibar Submarine Adventure offers a reef-focused experience in Zanzibar. It provides a different type of activity from a land-based nature visit or cultural experience and can be considered by families interested in seeing another side of the island.
Check the current activity page for applicable age requirements, supervision, duration and other participation conditions before adding the experience to your family holiday.
Best for: families who want to combine a nature setting with another perspective on Zanzibar.
The Jozani and spice experience gives families an alternative to spending the entire Zanzibar part of their holiday by the coast. It can add a nature and local experience to a wider stay on the island.
Families should check the current programme and participation requirements before booking. The suitability of the experience should be assessed for the ages and needs of the children travelling.
Best for: families looking for a water-based activity in a freshwater setting during their time in Tanzania.
Lake Duluti offers a different environment from Tanzania's safari parks and Zanzibar's coast. Families interested in adding another type of outdoor experience can compare this activity with the other options available through Beach Safari.
Water activities can have specific participation and supervision requirements. Check the current activity information and confirm whether the experience is suitable for everyone in your family before booking.
Best for: families looking for a broader Zanzibar holiday option rather than choosing an individual activity on its own.
The Zanzibar Family Escape gives families a package option within Beach Safari's current offer. It can be useful when comparing how individual activities might fit within a wider stay in Zanzibar.
Check the current package page for its itinerary, accommodation and inclusions. Activities and conditions shown for an individual Beach Safari experience should not automatically be assumed to form part of this package.
Start with the ages and interests of the children travelling. Some families may prefer nature and wildlife, while others may want to spend more time on the water or include different experiences during a Zanzibar stay. Then consider how the activity fits within the rest of your holiday. Adding more experiences is not always necessary. Travel time, the pace of the trip and the requirements of each activity can all influence which options make sense for your family.
Finally, check the conditions of the exact activity you want to book. Age requirements, supervision, physical requirements, availability and transfer arrangements can differ between experiences.
Family activities can form one part of a wider Tanzania and Zanzibar journey. A safari, a nature experience, time on the water and a stay by the coast create different types of experiences, but they do not all need to be included in the same trip.
Use the Beach Safari activity overview to compare current experiences and decide which ones match your family's interests and travel plans.
An activity should be assessed using the conditions that apply to that individual experience. A family friendly label on another activity or package does not confirm that the same requirements apply elsewhere.
If any of these details are unclear, ask Beach Safari to confirm the current conditions for the specific experience and the family members who want to participate.
Start by comparing activities according to your family's interests and the places you plan to visit. You can explore all available activities and then discuss the experiences that could fit within your Tanzania or Zanzibar travel plans.
