6 Day Kenya & Tanzania Safari

Daily Private Safari Tour

Safari in a Private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep
Start in Nairobi / Finish in Nairobi or Arusha – Option to Continue on to Zanzibar

Enjoy this amazing safari in a customized pop-up roof 4×4 Safari Jeep that includes: Cooler Box, long-range high-frequency radio, Power Outlets AC 230V, First Aid Kit, and above all, a professional multi-lingual safari guide who will ensure you have an unforgettable safari experience.

This versatile African safari takes us exploring both sides of the Kenya/Tanzania border. You’ll witness awesome herds of free-ranging elephants at Kenya’s Amboseli National Park, framed by the spectacle of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro not far off in Tanzania. We switch gears at Lake Manyara National Park where the blue alkaline lake takes up most of this very pretty park, adorned with thousands of delightful pink flamingoes dressing the shorelines.

No visit to Tanzania is whole without a thorough exploration of its biggest reserve and a true force of nature – Serengeti National Park. We’ll spend several days here on its vast plains populated with wildebeests filling out the horizons. It’s said there are more lions here than any other spot in Africa.

Then, Ngorongoro Crater – the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera awaits our discovery. A vast blue/green world cut off from the rest of the continent yet bursting with over 25,000 animals – lions, leopards, rhinos and so many more species living in this intense Eden.

From Nairobi to Amboseli

We’ll begin your 6-day safari traveling south through Kenya to one of its most popular reserves, Amboseli, perhaps the best spot in Africa to easily view massive herds of big-tusked elephants, marching to their favorite waterholes. Though the park is compact it holds all the famous “Big Five” wildlife. And great Kilimanjaro standing at the southern border signals our next stop, Tanzania.

We’ll cross the border and enter the welcoming shorelines of Lake Manyara National Park. The color here is explosive – thousands of fuchsia flamingoes make their home at the water’s edge contrasting with the park’s deep green acacia forests.

Have you heard of Olduvai Gorge? It’s a dramatic ravine, the site of perhaps the greatest find of prehistoric fossils recording mankind’s earliest development. We’ll pause here to see and learn about this fantastic historical record right before us.

Another Safari World

Then comes the magic of Ngorongoro Conservation Area – a voyage into the deep volcanic crater that sits apart from the rest of Africa. In this isolated world of forest, lakes, marshes, and plains lie the greatest density of lions anywhere. The wildlife here is profuse and rich – leopards, elephants, black rhinos, and even pink flamingoes.

Finally, we’ll travel on to Arusha to complete our safari. You can head back to Nairobi if you wish, or travel to Zanzibar for a beach vacation on its exotic shores.

6 Day Kenya & Tanzania Safari

Day 1
Nairobi – Amboseli
4 Hour Drive

7:30 am. Get ready to safari as your Adventure In The Wild Safaris driver/guide arrives at your hotel, residence, airport, or another place of your choosing. Jump into your private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep and we’ll take off driving through the savannah country, passing homesteads and Maasai herders tending to their cattle.

Day 2
Amboseli – Lake Manyara
5 – 6 Hour Drive

We’re getting into the safari rhythm with an early rise to watch the morning sun light up the fields, hills, and marshes of the park. We’ll take a pre-breakfast game drive as the wildlife slowly emerges into the new day.

Breakfast will be at our accommodation and then we’re off to Tanzania.
We’ll stop for immigration at the border town of Namanga, before proceeding on to Lake Manyara Park. Our route takes us through Maasai country, and you may see some of the herders tending to their flocks.

A big, beautiful lake greets us at Manyara, and filling our field of view are the thousands of pink flamingoes feeding on its algae. The sight of so much colorful avian life is a signature souvenir of Africa.
Besides the lake, the park also offers a dreamy landscape of acacia woods in which you may find the renowned Manyara tree-climbing lions. Look for them resting above in the tree branches.

Day 3
Manyara – Serengeti
4 Hour Drive

This is the perfect place to soak up the sunrise, the soft golden light illuminating this magical reserve.
We’ll enjoy an early game drive before setting out for the Serengeti. Soon we’ll come to the vast Serengeti plains, an astonishing expanse of endless land and wildlife.

We’ll take an afternoon game drive over this storied savannah, admiring the great populations of wildlife filling this immense space.

Day 4
Full-Day at Serengeti

Let’s rise with the Serengeti sun as the great fields come alive with spectacular herds of wildebeests and so much other wildlife.

It’s here that millions of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, eland, topi and others breed and begin their Great Migration in search of taller grasses, water, and the trek for their survival. It’s a phenomenal sight not seen elsewhere.

Also, on the vast Serengeti – big cats like lions, leopards, and cheetahs thrive in great numbers.

Day 5
Serengeti – Ngorongoro
3 Hour Drive

We’ll grab some picnic lunches as we take a final game drive through the Serengeti. But now we are on our way to the Ngorongoro Crater.

On route, we’ll make a detour to the anthropological wonder of Oldupai Gorge. The site is a living fossilized record of early man’s tool-making and early development and is not to be missed.

As we come to the Ngorongoro Crater’s rim, let’s pause and take in the vast thriving world below us, an area of some 264 sq km (102 sq mi). Buckle up as we head down 600 m (1,968 ft) in our 4 x 4 Jeep coming to the crater’s floor, a living ecosystem alive with wildlife.

We’ll spend the day exploring the crater’s fields, lakes, and woods looking for its dense quantities of lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, antelope, and even monkeys and baboons.

The diversity of wildlife is so great in this isolated world we may even see pink flamingoes at the crater’s Lake Magadi.
Then, toward late afternoon we’ll ascend back up the crater’s wall to catch a dazzling sunset at the rim.

Day 6
Ngorongoro – Arusha – Nairobi
3 ½ Hour Drive

Let’s try to catch the sunrise at the crater’s rim – it’s certain to be dazzling. Then, after breakfast, we’ll depart for Arusha with a lunch stop along the way.
