Two full weeks of safari adventure! From the northern reaches of the Kenya highlands to its great southern parks; from the immense Tanzanian savannahs and onto its lush forests, this 14-day exploration will land you up close to every ecosystem in the region and the incredible variety of its stunning wildlife.

Great parades of elephants, startling prides of lions and leopards, unending herds of migrating wildebeests, giant forest antelope, uncountable pink flamingoes, endangered rhinos, chimps, and even unbelievable tree-climbing lions will be your daily experience.

On this special in-depth expedition, you will have opportunities to meet and learn about the indigenous peoples of these lands and their rich ancient cultures. For two weeks, you’ll enjoy an immersive experience of Africa with all its colors, sounds, light, and scents that you will treasure for years to come.

You’ve heard the names: Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro…. now get ready to explore these and so many other magical places, as they become a part of your life.

Your Journey’s First Step

This will be a comprehensive yet comfortably-paced adventure. In no time, you’ll be feeling like an experienced safari adventurer. Our first stop will be Amboseli Park, one of Kenya’s most popular reserves. Seated near the foot of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro, the park is home to a great many tusker elephants – so many, you’re guaranteed sightings. And this compact park often serves up sightings of lion, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, and exotic bird life as well.

Turning north, your African safari will bring you to one of the most unusual parks in the region. Aberdare National Park is an up-country reserve, with rich forests, mountain streams, rainforests, and waterfalls. Plus, you’ll stay in an elevated “tree hotel” where you can spot antelope, buffalo, elephants, and more.

Our next park is a contrast with its dry, broad fields. Samburu National Reserve features plenty of lions but also a variety of unusual species like the Somali ostrich, oryx, and reticulated giraffe out on its rugged landscape.

On our way to the private reserve of Ol Pejeta Conservancy, we’ll view Mt. Kenya, Africa’s second-largest tallest peak. Ol Pejeta not only harbors Africa’s “Big Five” – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino but also features a sanctuary for chimpanzees – the only place in Kenya you can see them in a natural setting.

Lake Naivasha National Park is next and what could be more appropriate for a lake park than a water safari? You’ll glide by hippos while on the nearby shore giraffe and zebra look up from their grazing. And if you’d like to try out a bicycle safari, we can take an optional visit to nearby Hell’s Gate National Park.

The Great Legacy Parks

Now we’ll turn south to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve, home to great prides of big cats and the breathtaking spectacle of the Great Migration. In season, July – October, prepare to witness thousands upon thousands of wildebeests, gazelles, and zebra crossing the Mara River into the park on their timeless search for sustenance and survival.

The rolling grasslands here are home to an astounding variety of wildlife – giraffe, monkey, baboon, hyena, cheetah, and hundreds of colorful bird species fill the sky above.

Then, across the Mara, lies another of the region’s major reserves – the great Serengeti National Park, home to literally millions of wildlife creatures. Over 3,000 lions, millions of wildebeests, and zebra, plus buffalo, waterbuck, and crocodile fill the vast reaches of this magnificent park.

We next move on to one of the most unique land structures on the planet, the Ngorongoro Crater. This is the largest intact volcanic caldera on Earth but what makes it so special is this great land bowl is an ecosystem unto itself, holding vast numbers of lion, buffalo, rhino, wildebeest, zebra, eland, gazelle, and even pink flamingoes! We will descend the steep crater walls to spend an amazing day in this very unique universe of wildlife.

Tarangire Or Lake Manyara Parks

You may not have heard of Tarangire Park but that just makes it more special, as this is a lightly-touristed park but there’s no shortage of wildlife – it even has its own migration of hundreds of thousands of animals.

What other park can you visit that hosts both brilliant pink flamingoes and tree-climbing lions? And is pretty as a picture as well? Lake Manyara Park checks all the boxes for scenic beauty, rare wildlife, and fascinating avian life. Plus, you’ll find monkeys, baboons, and all sorts of species in this fascinating reserve.

All-Inclusive

Your Two-Week Safari includes park entrance fees, accommodations, and meals. Adventure In The Wild Safaris always offers a wide choice of accommodations. Depending on your budget and style choose from economy, comfort or luxury safari lodges or tented camps.

Your Guide & Transport

For your entire 14-day journey you’ll be guided, hosted and looked after by your own experienced driver/guide.

Transportation to the park and game viewing will be in a private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep – this vehicle is the safari standard with its higher seating and rugged all-wheel drive. Always included on our tours, the Land Cruiser Jeep is just another example of the value we offer you at Adventure In The Wild Safaris.
