Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania in Swahili is a land of contrasts that brings together the wilderness and charisma of Africa in one place. Tanzania is where scale changes everything. Vast plains, slow-moving herds, and endless skies gently reset your sense of time. Life here unfolds in motion, not urgency. As parent and child observe the rhythm of the land, attention shifts outward and conversations deepen naturally. This is not wildlife as spectacle, but as understanding. A journey that builds connection with nature, with ancient cultures, and with each other. Home to ethnic tribes, the Kilimanjaro, the largest caldera, the precious tanzanite and the Serengeti ecosystem, this country will not fail to embrace and enchant you with its simplicity.
Apricous Key facts strip
The Apricous way
We plan slowly. We build in rest. Every experience is layered with warmth, flexibility, and care — so parents stay relaxed and children stay curious.
Designed Around the Movement of Life
Days follow the rhythm of the plains — herds at dawn, rest at midday, quiet observation as the land shifts with light and season.
Wildlife Seen, Not Chased
Encounters favour distance and patience. Children learn that the most powerful moments come from waiting, watching, and understanding life in motion.
Guides Rooted in Land & Story
Our naturalists combine deep ecological knowledge with storytelling — helping children connect behaviour, landscape, and culture without overwhelm.
Time Shaped by the Wild
Here, the land sets the tempo. And families find space to observe, reflect, and connect.
Experiences & Bonds
Breath-taking landscapes
Active Volcanoes, Dormant ones, largest caldera, highest mountain, deep and large lakes and the great savannah. Shaped by great extremes this country is also home to rainforests. One thing you can be sure of, you will never be short of places to explore.
Last Gatherers
The Hadzabe are considered one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes in Africa. Give your kids a peak into their lifestyle and appreciate the small joys of life. Experience their simple lifestyle. You may think they are very poor, on the contrary they are very rich because they know how to live and bond with nature!
Maasai way
Discover the traditions, the huts with grass roofs and soil walls and the warmth of Maasai hospitality.Take a walk with them, try their food and get an insight into how they survive in harmony with nature. Maybe they tell you about their secret herbs for a healthy life. A little dance and music every evening may just be their secret!
Wildlife rules
With more animals per square mile of land than anywhere else, it’s not a surprise that they feel at home here. The ecological diversity of the Serengeti Park makes it an enviable place to witness such an array of natural life; from migration on an impossibly large scale to a sole leopard desperately trying to kill to survive.
Where Every Day is
Designed for You
Game drives where parent and child track animals together across open savannahs. Reading movement, waiting quietly, and sharing the moment when herds finally appear.
Reading movement, waiting quietly, and sharing the moment when herds finally appear. Walking experiences in select regions with local guides who interpret footprints, plants, and stories, turning the land into a shared learning space. Visits with indigenous communities where daily life, traditions, and values are shared simply and respectfully absorbed through presence, not performance. Evenings around the fire, revisiting sightings and stories from the day, moments where reflection replaces stimulation. Unstructured time at camps and lodges, watching the land change colour, listening to night sounds and allowing stillness to do its work.
Thank you so much for organizing such a wonderful fun trip. Spent some fun time with my daughter. You really have organized it very well for woman travelers alone, it’s great We both enjoyed all the experiences; the husky ride got the better of us and was a tad scary.
Four days in Finland felt surprisingly full. It wasn’t a long holiday, but it gave us exactly what we needed — time together to reconnect. It was very well planned except for a slight confusion on a meeting point
You really made our life easy, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of and we spent some quality time together as a family! We loved the stuff put together for the kids. Will definitely be coming back to you to plan our next trip!!
