Kenya or Tanzania? Which to visit? Choose both on this exciting 10-day African safari to the best national parks on both sides of the border. You’ll visit gems like Tarangire Park and Lake Nakuru with its population of rare Rothschild’s giraffe. At Lake Naivasha, relax on a sailing safari past curious hippos and grazing wildlife on the nearby shore.

Masai Mara & Serengeti – Be prepared to witness the spectacle of the largest wildlife migration on the planet. And Ngorongoro Crater will present you with a dense volcano floor alive with its own world of highly concentrated wildlife. Amboseli Park is so populated with elephant life you are guaranteed multiple sightings. This is a well-balanced tour spending equal time in both countries. You’ll be able to say you’ve seen and experienced the best of Kenya and Tanzania.

Let’s Begin this Journey

Your 10-day safari begins in Nairobi and takes an easy drive through the Rift Valley escarpment and its dramatic landforms. We’ll stop along the way to admire the towering ridges and cliff formations. Soon the blue waters of Lake Naivasha come into view inviting us to explore and take a sail past bathing hippos and nearby giraffe, zebra, and antelope.

It’s a quick trip to nearby Crescent Island Sanctuary and a guided walking safari past the grazing wildlife and colorful waterfowl. Then we’ll pack into the 4×4, headed for Lake Nakuru, passing Lake Elementaita and its hundreds of bird species.

Arriving at Nakuru, savor this beautiful park adorned with acacia forest and home to black and white rhino. You may also spot lion, leopard, and hippo. Season and weather permitting you’ll be treated to flocks of pink flamingos blanketing the lake.

Then it’s off to the king of Kenya parks, the Masai Mara National Reserve. The Mara never fails to impress with its intense concentration of big game wildlife. During the migration season, the animal population magnifies significantly into the millions. Wave upon wave of zebra, wildebeest, and eland cross the Mara River creating a spectacle that’s simply unforgettable.

Into Tanzania

Crossing into Tanzania brings us into the color and excitement of the immense Serengeti National Park. The great treeless savannahs here roll out past the horizon, hosting the largest population of lions in Africa – reportedly more than 3,000 in this ecosystem alone. During your game drives, you’ll also be tracking for leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo.

Besides those Big Five predators, your day will be filled with possible sightings of cheetah, zebra, giraffe, Thompson’s gazelle, eland, impala, hippo, and the irrepressible warthog.

Descending the Ngorongoro

Our next adventure is one of the most unique landforms anywhere – the Ngorongoro Crater. This is the world’s largest dormant, intact volcanic caldera. We’ll descend its walls down to the crater floor to a special place of intense wildlife concentration. We’ll be looking for the many prides of lion here as well as other big game – rhino, elephant, leopard, buffalo, hippo, cheetah and more.

As if your day couldn’t get any better, we’ll head back up in the late afternoon to catch Africa’s most dazzling sunset at the crater rim.

Tarangire National Park

Now it’s a short drive to a very special wildlife preserve, Tarangire National Park, home to hundreds of species of birdlife, magnificent towering baobab trees, and great herds of elephants. Even the large termite mounds dotting the landscape are an unusual sight in this unique natural habitat.

Safari Back to Kenya

Then we’re crossing the border again, back into Kenya to visit our final destination, Amboseli National Park. Elephants abound here but also get ready for lion, cheetah, wildebeest, gazelle, monkeys, and lots of birdlife.

Amboseli also features Africa’s best views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. In the mornings and early evenings when the clouds clear you may get postcard views of the snow-capped summit of the highest peak on the continent.

Then, it’s an easy drive back to Nairobi and safari’s end.

All-Inclusive

Your 10-Day 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

For your entire 10-day journey, you’ll be guided, hosted, and looked after by your own experienced driver/guide. And you’ll enjoy the adventure of your own private 4×4 Land Cruiser Jeep, the only way to safari.

Customize Your Safari

If you’d like to customize your safari or have any special wishes, please let us know. For example, you can begin your safari at Amboseli Park instead of Naivasha/Nakuru and finish up in Arusha. If you choose this configuration, the tour order is as follows: Amboseli, Lakes Naivasha/Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Arusha.
