10 Days Kenya and Tanzania safari

Commence your journey with an early morning pick-up, heading towards Lake Nakuru National Park. This stunning lake lies southward of Bogoria in the Great Rift Valley, across the equator. Renowned worldwide for its vast flocks of flamingos, the park is a true natural wonder. Moreover, it serves as a vital sanctuary for rhinos, housing more than 40 black and 60 white rhinos. While the flamingos steal the spotlight, the park’s diverse wildlife will surely captivate you. Your night’s accommodation and dinner will be provided at a campsite or lodge.

Embark on a morning drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve, a rare remaining sanctuary where wildlife thrives undisturbed in abundant numbers. Situated at the northern edge of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the breath-taking seasonal migration of wildebeest, zebras, and their predators. Upon arrival, savor a delicious lunch before venturing out for an afternoon game drive.

After breakfast, immerse yourself in a full day of game drives within the Masai Mara, enjoying a picnic lunch amidst the reserve’s awe-inspiring scenery. The reserve is famed for its black-maned lions and diverse wildlife. It is one of the few places where spotting the illustrious big five during a morning game drive is possible. So friendly are some cheetahs that they may seek shade under vehicles, and a few might even climb atop the roof to scout for potential prey.

Today, you’ll journey from the Masai Mara to Serengeti National Park via the Isebania border crossing. Although the transfer may occupy much of the day, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a game drive for most of the journey. In the afternoon, another game drive awaits en-route to your accommodation in Serengeti.

As you crest the hillside, the vastness of the Serengeti stretches before your eyes, an expanse of endless plains. Covering 6,900 square miles (18,000 sq. km), this park teems with over two million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, vast herds of plains zebras, and graceful Thomson’s gazelles. The region’s ample prey attracts numerous predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. Your days will be filled with thrilling morning and afternoon game drives across the Serengeti.

Prepare for an early wake-up call to embark on a pre-breakfast safari. At this time, the animals are most active, and you’ll be treated to a breathtaking sunrise over the African savannah. Witnessing the sunrise in this awe-inspiring landscape is a truly unforgettable experience. After the game drive, return to the camp for a hearty brunch. In the afternoon, proceed to the Ngorongoro Highland, where the sight of the crater’s rim provides a glimpse of the adventure that awaits on the following day. Enjoy dinner and spend the night at the lodge.

Commence the day at the crack of dawn, descending to the crater floor for an extraordinary morning of wildlife viewing in one of the world’s most magnificent places. Following the game drive, indulge in a picnic lunch near the charming hippo lake. There will be time for a short game drive before ascending the crater and leaving the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, concluding this unforgettable safari journey.

You will depart after breakfast and drive across the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day game drive. This enchanting park is noted for its beauty and incredibly lush acacia forest of giant fig and mahogany trees, which are home to baboon troops and blue monkeys. It is also famous for its stunning bird variety. In the afternoon you will transfer to Arusha.
