Know before you go

Masai Mara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari 8 days

  • The Masai Mara Serengeti Ngorongoro Safari 8 days tour takes you to experience wildlife in Masai Mara Game Reserve for two nights; Masai Mara extends southwards to the Great Serengeti National Park in Tanzania for two nights where thousands of wildebeest and zebra share the ground whereby they migrate around the two parks for green pasture and water and finish with Ngorongoro Crater 2 nights. 

  • At 07:00 hrs, depart Masai Mara through the Isebania border of Kenya and Tanzania to extend your Masai Mara Safari in Kenya to the Great Serengeti National Park. 

  • You stay for two nights in Serengeti, probably the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world. Serengeti is a big game haven that hosts over 3 million large mammals and then closes with two nights in Ngorongoro. It is an attraction in its own right and is one of the wonders of the natural world—your stay at 4-star lodges throughout as per the below itinerary.

  • Serengeti is Africa's largest National Park whose abundant wildlife has made it a world heritage site. The park is famous for its ecosystem involving the extraordinary world event of the annual migration of over 1.5 million wildebeests, and zebras include many carnivores. It is also the home to cheetahs, lions, leopards, buffalos, elephants, wildebeests, hartebeests, topi, elands, Grant Gazelles and many more. 

  • Birds: Kori bustard ostrich, secretary birds and many more, including the migrant birds from Eurasia.

  • NOTE: On August and September through October and November is the perfect time to see the beast in the event of crossing the Great Mara River, from Serengeti to Masai Mara and from Masai Mara to Serengeti. Suppose someone is interested in witnessing the event. In that case, we can re-route the accommodation plan for two nights at Masai Mara and switch to the nearby Mara River Camps/accommodation in the Southern part of Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya side. 

  • Also, the two nights accommodation in Serengeti can be switched from the central park of Serengeti park to North Mara River camps. We hope the four nights at the Mara Riversides is a great chance to witness the event of the Wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River.

  • Ngorongoro Crater is one the largest intact caldera in the world and one of the most spectacular sights in Africa. All the BIG FIVE Rhino, Lion, Leopard, Buffalo and Elephant live in this incredible caldera. Others are Zebra, Hippo, Wildebeest, Hyena and more? Birds include flamingos on the Soda lake, Geese, Storks, Vultures and more.
