Finish in Arusha – Return to Nairobi or Vacation on to Zanzibar

Time to Safari

Witness unmistakable drama on the bordering lands of the Masai Mara and the Serengeti. These two parks feed an ecosystem nurturing millions of animals – herding, grazing, and hunting in their natural order to survive.
You’ll take in this timeless theater of the wild as you explore these vibrant reserves.

Not far off another special world awaits your discovery: the Ngorongoro Crater. This is a deep dive into the largest intact volcanic caldera on the planet.
The animal life here is rich and dense – cut off from the rest of the world, the many species have thrived and multiplied, from lions to rhinos to flamingoes.

Yet another treasure on this Africa safari, Lake Manyara National Park, is a bright discovery of pelicans, flamingoes, and tree-climbing lions.
This pretty park is a flourishing contrast to the wide-open displays of the giant reserves.

Itinerary Overview

We’ll head out from Nairobi to the iconic Masai Mara, famous for its abundance of big cats and the Great Migration (July–October).
You’ll witness a massive display of moving animals like nowhere else on Earth.

Then, we’ll cross into Tanzania and explore Serengeti National Park, the breeding grounds for millions of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and topi.
The Serengeti is also home to lions, cheetahs, hyenas, wolves, baboons, and monkeys.

Along the way, we’ll visit the historic Olduvai Gorge – the fossil-rich cradle of humanity.

Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater in our 4×4 Jeep to explore its protected ecosystem, teeming with lions, leopards, buffalo, rhinos, hippos, and flamingoes.

We finish our safari at Lake Manyara National Park, home to tree-climbing lions and thousands of flamingoes creating an unforgettable canvas of color.

From Lake Manyara, we head to Arusha. From there, you can return to Nairobi or continue your vacation to the sun-drenched beaches of Zanzibar.
