Other parks on your journey such as Lake Manyara and Amboseli offer incredible displays of bird species and great herds of elephants that you’ll experience nowhere else. You’re going to see so much on this 10-day Adventure In The Wild Safaris tour that you may want to start planning now.

Here’s How Your Journey Unfolds

We begin in Nairobi and head out to Mt. Kilimanjaro and Amboseli National Park. You’re guaranteed to see great parades of free-ranging elephants. But you’ll also be tracking for lion, cheetah, and hyena… and over 370 species of birds. There’s a good chance you’ll get to view the snow-capped summit of Africa’s highest peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro.

What’s next? Tanzania! And a unique reserve – Lake Manyara National Park. Everything is a bit special here. Not only is there exceptional birdlife such as egret, spoonbill, and heron, but you’ll be treated to a great pink sea of glittering flamingos!

Even the lions here aren’t ordinary. The great felines of Manyara are tree climbers! It’s not unusual to see one draped across a tree limb, fast asleep. Throw in elephants, giraffes, zebras, and a huge troop of baboons… you can see why Manyara is so special.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. It’s our next stop and we’ll travel down to the crater floor to discover the highest density of lions and predators in Africa. This 260 sq km (100 sq miles) habitat is also home to rhino, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, eland, and many other species.

Moving on to the Serengeti we’ll explore the steep-sided ravine of Olduvai Gorge, one of the oldest inhabited sites in human history. Fossilized remains testify to humankind’s early development here, dating back 2 million years.

Over this ancient land stretch the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This is home to the beginning of the greatest animal migration on the planet. Close to two million wildebeest, zebra, and other wildlife begin their annual trek into the Masai Mara. Everything here is vast, dense, and seriously impressive.

Journey Back to Kenya

Next, we follow the great migration into Kenya and the Masai Mara National Reserve. Home to the Big Five and many other species, the Mara also features flat-topped acacia trees and scenic savannah. The emotional center of this park is the Mara River, where you’ll picnic near hippos and crocodiles as wildebeests and zebras stream into the park.

Heading north, our final destination is Lake Naivasha – a beautiful, peaceful contrast to the plains. Here, we’ll enjoy a water safari, gliding by hippos and spotting giraffes and zebra on the shore, along with prolific birdlife.

Ten full days on safari – you’re practically a pro! We hope you enjoyed this deep dive into the best natural wonders Africa has to offer. From all of us at Adventure In The Wild Safaris – a big safari thanks.
