You’ll journey to the world’s largest intact volcanic crater and visit a realm of wildlife few ever get the chance to see. So get ready for 10 full days of discovery and wonder as we venture out to meet the best of East Africa.
Our Journey Begins
We depart Nairobi for Amboseli National Park, where inspiring views of Mt. Kilimanjaro await, especially when the clouds clear revealing the snow-capped dome of Africa’s highest peak. The park is the best spot on the continent to view great herds of elephants. And like any self-respecting Kenyan reserve, there are lion, cheetah, giraffe, and zebra to begin this amazing adventure.
Next, we move to the azure waters of Lake Naivasha, a pretty reserve where we’ll enjoy a sailing safari, gliding past the hippos.
Then, it’s on to the great savannahs of the Masai Mara Reserve. This world-famous habitat is known for spotting the Big Five – lion, leopard, black rhino, buffalo, and elephant. On these rolling plains dotted with acacia trees, you’ll be greeted by dozens of species populating the vast Mara.
You’ll embark on unlimited game drives here. A highlight – a picnic lunch at the Mara River as you watch hippos and possibly crocodiles enjoy their lunch!
Into Tanzania
Then we cross the border into Tanzania and travel to perhaps the most populated wildlife refuge in the world, Serengeti National Park. You’ve seen its sweeping panoramas in movies – now’s your time to encounter this immense world-famous park. The treeless plains hold millions of wildebeest, zebra, eland, and of course, predators like lion, leopard, rhino, and elephant.
On your game drives here you’ll also encounter gazelle, impala, waterbuck, klipspringer, monkeys, and baboons. These are the lands where the great migration stirs – you’ll be awed by their numbers.
Into the Volcano
Ngorongoro Crater is a wildlife habitat unto itself. Buckle up because you’re going to descend into the crater floor and witness the incredible concentration of game that makes their home in this extinct volcano. There’s a high concentration of lions here as well as black rhino, Cape buffalo, hippo, zebra, eland, and gazelle in this abundant ecosystem.
In the late afternoon, we’ll head back up the crater to catch an unforgettable sunset view… only to be matched the next morning with a spectacular sunrise at the rim.
Now we head to our last stop in Tanzania – Tarangire National Park, a compact but impressive place of towering baobab trees, lion, and zebra. You’ll see elephants on the plains and huge termite mounds – big, bizarre, and very photogenic!
Finally, we wrap up our ten-day adventure in the Tanzanian town of Arusha, bringing you to your hotel or the airport. Ten exciting days in East Africa’s two best countries for wildlife spotting. Ready to join us?
