10 Days L.Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Amboseli Kenya And Tanzania Safari

We’ll head out early on this day of unlimited game drives. The Masai Mara is known for its many prides of lions, plus cheetah, buffalo, antelope, hyena and so much more.

To maximize our time on the savannah we’ll take along a picnic lunch and perhaps enjoy it down at the Mara River, the site of the crossing of wildebeests and zebra, flowing in from neighboring Serengeti. This is a dramatic spot where predators meet grazers, so we’ll look for crocodiles down in the river as well as all sorts of big cats.

Adding new dimensions to your safari, take advantage of two optional activities: A visit to a nearby Maasai village will broaden your cultural horizons as you meet these indigenous people and learn about their lifestyle.

For a special one-of-a-kind treat, sign up for the optional hot air balloon safari over the park. You’ll float up at dawn as the park comes alive with all its wonders lighting up beneath you in the new day. An unforgettable safari moment!

We’ll spend the evening at our Mara accommodation, enjoying a delicious meal while swapping stories of the day.

Today our safari goes international, crossing the border into Tanzania at the town of Isebania.Part of the same ecosystem as the Masai Mara, the Serengeti features a different look, its vast plains being treeless. But it offers as rich an array of wildlife, perhaps even more lions.

We’ll arrive in time for an afternoon game drive to better understand the look, feel, and “vibe” of the Serengeti. This is where the millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle, calve before heading on to the Masai Mara.We’ll head to our Serengeti lodge or tented camp for relaxation and dinner

This will be a great day of exploration as we travel over the immense tract of the Serengeti, spotting for lion, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, eland, klipspringer, gazelle, warthog, and even hippo!As always, you set the pace of your safari – opt for morning, afternoon, or full-day game viewing. The choice is yours.

Depending on the season (January/February), you may see great numbers of wildebeests and zebras calving. In the following months, the young will be raised in time for the annual Great Migration, across to the Masai Mara, from July to October.This evening, we’ll relax and swap stories at our Serengeti accommodation.

An exciting day awaits! We’ll be up early to enjoy another game drive through the Serengeti, as we exit the reserve and head to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world.

Hold on, as our 4 x 4 takes us down the steep crater walls, into this magical expanse of green landscapes holding every sort of wildlife, from lions to pink flamingoes.We’ll enjoy lunch, perhaps watching hippos at one of the park’s lakes as we keep an eye out for rhino, buffalo, elephant, and of course, the big cats.

Toward late afternoon, we’ll head back up to the edge of the caldera in time to catch one of Africa’s signature attractions – a magnificent sunset lighting up the crater’s rim.And then we’re off to our Ngorongoro safari lodge or tented camp to settle in for dinner and rest.

Remember last night’s spectacular sunset? Let’s get up in time to catch an equally awesome sunrise at the crater’s rim!And now we’re off to Tarangire National Park, a small but quite beautiful reserve. We’ll take an afternoon game drive looking for the park’s signature massive elephant herds. Tarangire is also known for its wildlife migration where over 250,000 animals enter the park.We’ll spend the evening at our Tarangire accommodation.

As always on safari, we’ll be up with the birds to enjoy another game drive through the park.After breakfast, we’ll head out to our final park, Amboseli, crossing back into Kenya at the border town of Namanga.

Amboseli is Kenya’s second most popular park, framed by the snow-capped majesty of Mt. Kilimanjaro and home to unlimited herds of great elephants. Their numbers are so constant you are guaranteed to see them parading to and fro.Come late afternoon, the typical cloud covering obscuring Kilimanjaro’s summit may dissipate, revealing the mountain’s breathtaking peak.We will spend our 8th Safari evening at our Amboseli lodge or tented camp.

The park is especially attractive in the early morning so let’s take advantage of the day and head out for our first game drive.Of course, we’ll be looking for elephants but the park may also present us with sightings of lions, cheetah, buffalo, wildebeest, gazelle, monkeys, and many rare birds.

We’ll stop at Observation Hill, where we can take in the many varieties of landscapes and wildlife in all directions.If we’re lucky we’ll catch another glimpse of Kilimajaro’s snowy peak toward the evening.And here on our last safari night we’ll relax and dine at our Amboseli accommodation.

By now as an experienced safari-goer, you know the drill: We’ll be up early for a pre-breakfast game drive looking for elephants, lions, gazelle, antelope, and more.We’ll stock up on breakfast before taking our final game drive through the park and head off to Nairobi.

En route, we’ll make stops for lunch and take in the scenic vistas.Ten days – six parks… and how much wildlife and landscapes have we seen? Enough for many memories and lots of stories to be told and retold. We hope you enjoyed your two-country safari as much as we enjoyed showing you all the wonders of East Africa. From the entire team at Africa Kenya Safaris, a big Asante! for your time and commitment to see our natural world.
