We (2 adults plus 2 kids aged 9+11) undertook a 10 day trip to Arusha, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. We wanted an individual tour which included not only game driving but some insights into socio-cultural life in Tanzania (the kids attended a local school for two days and we wanted to spend some time with the Datoga tribe and bushmen at Lake Eyasi)
