Family-friendly places to stay in Tanzania and Zanzibar

We've hand-picked clean and comfortable family accommodation in Tanzania, including a few child-friendly upscale lodges. For inspiration, see our feature Green Places to Stay With Kids in Africa.

Safaris and escorted trips

Most families who pick this destination go on safaris or other escorted adventure trips to Tanzania (see Best Organised Trips tab). In these, accommodation is a mix of hotels, safari lodges, and fixed and mobile camps – comfortable but not luxurious.

Beach resorts on Zanzibar

Zanzibar, on the other hand, is a place to splurge on a luxury family beach resort. Scroll down for our hand-picked properties or call or message us for bespoke recommendations.
