Overview

An 8-day, 7-night safari combining the best of Kenya and Tanzania is a whirlwind adventure that offers an unparalleled wildlife experience. This itinerary is designed to maximize game viewing across the iconic parks of both countries, appealing to those who want to see a vast diversity of wildlife and landscapes in a limited timeframe.

Masai Mara: Kenya’s most famous reserve, renowned for its incredible concentration of wildlife, the vast rolling grasslands, and the opportunity to see the “Big Five.” It’s also the site of the Great Migration’s dramatic river crossings (July-October).

Serengeti: Tanzania’s most celebrated park, known for its endless plains, high density of predators, and the Great Migration.

Ngorongoro Crater: A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. It’s a self-contained ecosystem with an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including the best chance to see the black rhino.

Lake Manyara: A scenic park at the foot of the Great Rift Valley, famous for its tree-climbing lions and a diverse array of birdlife, including flamingos.

Logistics: The safari typically begins in Nairobi, Kenya, and ends in Arusha, Tanzania, or vice versa. The journey involves a cross-border crossing at the Isebania border, which is handled by your safari company. You’ll travel in a custom-designed 4×4 vehicle, often with a different vehicle and guide in each country.

Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara National Reserve

Pick up from your hotel and commence the drive to Maasai Mara via the great rift valley view point where you will have a breathtaking view of the floor of the rift valley. Here you will see the semi active Mt longonot and 2 other dormant volcanic mountains, Mt. Suswa and Mt Margret for 10 mins. You will arrive in time for lunch. Check in the hotel. Later at 4.00 pm depart for a 2 hour game viewing drive in the Mara Reserve until 6.00pm. Return back to the camp for a sumptuous buffet dinner ending with good time for resting at the Camp.

 

Day 2: Full day Maasai Mara

Early breakfast at 6.30am and Depart for a full day game viewing. This is the most important day since we are hoping to see the big five, especially the big cats which are extremely illusive. Also we will visit the famous Mara river where the great migration happens, have a guided tour by the rangers to see the Nile crocodiles and hippo families and just to top it off have a picnic lunch under a tree in the park overlooking the vast landscapes.

It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place: the great migration. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (in Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna – lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and vultures.

 

Day 3: Maasai Mara to Serengeti via Isebania Border

Early breakfast at 6;00 a.m and check and exit through the South Gate. Drive to the Isebania border of Tanzania to arrive around midday. Complete the hour-long process to cross the Tanzania border. Meet your Tanzanian driver and start the game drive in Serengeti en route to the accommodation.

Day 4: Full day Serengeti National Reserve

Breakfast at 7 a.m. Full-day game drive in Serengeti and picnic lunch at 1 p.m., then back to the camp/lodge for dinner and overnight.Serengeti National Park (Serengeti) is located in Tanzania, best known for its abundance of animals and the great wildebeest migration. The Serengeti stretches 14,763 (5,700 sq miles) stretching North to Kenya and bordering Lake Victoria to the West. Serengeti has the highest concentration of large mammals on this planet and its famous known for its 2,500 Lions the largest concentration found anywhere. The park also has over 518 identified bird species where some of them are Eurasian migrants who are present in the European winter months from October to April.

Day 5: Serengeti to Ngorongoro

Depart Serengeti at 7 a.m. Game drive en route to Ngorongoro Park with picnic lunch.

 

Day 6: Ngorongoro to Lake Manyara

Full-day tour of Ngorongoro that begins at 7 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. with picnic lunch.The Ngorongoro Conservation Area spans vast expanses of highland plains, savanna, savanna woodlands and forests. Established in 1959 as a multiple land use area, with wildlife coexisting with semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists practicing traditional livestock grazing, it includes the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest caldera. The property has global importance for biodiversity conservation due to the presence of globally threatened species, the density of wildlife inhabiting the area, and the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra, gazelles and other animals into the northern plains. Extensive archaeological research has also yielded a long sequence of evidence of human evolution and human-environment dynamics, including early hominid footprints dating back 3.6 million years.
