Let’s Get This Africa Safari Started

Your Tanzania safari experience will be no less spectacular with its vast Serengeti plains, hosting wildlife in the millions. The great Ngorongoro Crater is the most spectacular volcanic caldera in the world. You won’t believe the intensity of its sunrises and sunsets at the crater rim that seem to burst with fire. This is the best of Africa and Adventure In The Wild Safaris is ready to share it with you!

Ol Pejeta Conservancy

As we move on to the Mt. Kenya/Laikipia region, the temperature cools as we arrive at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The Conservancy hosts the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. Don’t miss the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary also located in the Conservancy. It’s home to orphaned and rescued chimps – the only place in Kenya where you can see them and enjoy their playful behavior.

Lake Naivasha & Hell’s Gate

We then travel south to the Rift Valley lake country coming to rest at Lake Naivasha National Park, known for its fabulous bird watching. We’ll go sailing on a water safari here, passing hippos and antelope grazing on the shore. It’s a quick trip to nearby Crescent Island Game Sanctuary for a guided walking safari to view grazing giraffe, zebra, impala, and all sorts of colorful birds.

Ever go on a bicycle safari? Neighboring Hell’s Gate National Park offers walking and bicycling safaris through its canyons and fields, passing buffalo, zebra, giraffe, and more.

Journey to the Mara

Now it’s time to travel to Kenya’s most famous wildlife habitat – the Masai Mara National Reserve – home to the big cats with its significant populations of lion, leopard, and cheetah. The Mara is a majestic habitat and you’ll be tracking for the great felines along with herds of elephant, buffalo, giraffe, gazelle, and much more in this dense ecosystem.

The Mara is also home to the great migration of wildebeest and zebra pouring in from the Serengeti. Prepare to witness the drama of the wildlife crossing the Mara River and the resident crocodiles awaiting them. Optional guided nature walk and visit to a Masai village also available.

Our Tanzania Safari

We now cross into Tanzania and Serengeti National Park, the lands from which the great migration begins. The endless grasslands of the Serengeti boast millions of wildlife, especially wildebeest and zebra. But the Big Five are also here, as well as gazelle, impala, hartebeest, and cheetah.

Ngorongoro Crater

A not-to-be-missed feature of the Serengeti is the World Heritage Site of Ngorongoro Crater – the world’s largest fully intact volcanic caldera. From the crater’s rim, marvel at awe-inspiring sunrises and sunsets. Travel down to the crater floor and you’ll enter a world of intense wildlife, with one of the highest concentrations of lions and predators in Africa.

Lake Manyara National Park

This smaller park hosts millions of vibrant flamingos and other birdlife. It also features great herds of elephants and unique tree-climbing lions.

Safari Back to Kenya

Our final stop is Amboseli National Park, located near Mt. Kilimanjaro. The park is known for its elephants and stunning backdrop of Africa’s tallest mountain. Expect sightings of lion, cheetah, hyena, and abundant birdlife.

After 12 days, 8 parks, and countless animals, it’s time to return to Nairobi.
