Luxury Tanzania Itinerary

Paradise Camp: The Ultimate Family Island Adventure

Who hasn’t dreamed of the quintessential Robinson Crusoe escape?

Our ideal vision of the fantasy is slightly different – it is about exclusive family holidays on Thanda Island, Tanzania – a personalised paradise where you and your family or friends can build bonds, learn new skills and discover a deeper, more meaningful travel experience that will facilitate both knowledge and memories that will last a lifetime. The opportunity for extended trips does not present itself often, but when it does, we know how to optimise time spent away with multi-faceted immersions filled with life-enriching experiences.

The dream: A family-centric private island getaway that marries escapism with educational experiences for both children and adults.

The vision: An extended private buyout of Thanda Island off Tanzania, rich in immersive learning and philanthropic experiences.

Where to stay

Nothing but the best. On this suggested Tanzania itinerary these are our handpicked, tried-and-tested choices.

Thanda Island, Tanzania

Thanda Island is one of the world's most exclusive island getaways. This is the ideal spot for those who want to experience a true island getaway in the complete privacy of family and friends. Set amongst its own marine reserve, whale sharks, humpback whales, sea turtles and a vast array of fish can be found making it an excellent spot for keeping snorkelers.

The main villa consists of 5 immaculately designed bedrooms, a large lounge and dining area complete with an enormous fish tank housing some of the many colourful fish you can see just offshore as well as an upstairs library. On the other side of the island are two Tanzanian bandas made from traditional reed with en-suite bathrooms - ideal for teens who want to be on the other side of the island from their parents! We were blown away by the experience of staying here, from the incredibly attentive staff, and array of sporting equipment, to the delicious food and natural beauty of the island itself.
