Nairobi to Lake Nakuru and Rift Valley Wildlife

  • After an early morning pick-up, drive to Lake Nakuru National Park, located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley and lying across the equator south of Lake Bogoria.
  • The park is world-renowned for its flamingos and is considered one of Africa's natural wonders. It is also an important rhino sanctuary, protecting more than 40 black rhinos and over 60 white rhinos. Arrive in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight will be at a lodge or camp.
  • Note: Accommodation can be upgraded or downgraded to suit your budget, with corresponding price adjustments.

  • Accommodation: Ziwa Bush Lodge

Day 02

Lake Nakuru to the Golden Plains of Masai Mara

  • Experience the magic of Masai Mara National Reserve on a guided game drive across its endless golden plains. Feel the breeze as you search for lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. With herds of wildebeests, zebras, elephants, giraffes, and over 500 bird species, every moment is alive with action. It's not just a safari, it's the true spirit of Africa.
  • Main Destination: Maasai Mara National Reserve
  • Accommodation: Enkorok Mara Camp
3
Day 03

Full Safari Experience in Masai Mara

  • Stay deep in the Masai Mara National Reserve at Mara Sopa Lodge, surrounded by trees overlooking a bend in the Mara River. You can often see hippos and crocodiles below the camp. The wood-floored safari tents are luxurious, and everything here is excellent, from the service and the restaurant to the bar, swimming pool, and spa center.
  • There is no better way to see and experience the Masai Mara than on one of our guided game drives. You will love seeing the Mara's iconic animals and landscapes.
  • Main Destination: Masai Mara National Reserve
  • Accommodation: Enkorok Mara Camp

Day 04

Masai Mara to Northern Serengeti via Isebania Border

  • Transfer by road from Masai Mara Sopa Lodge to the Isebania border post in Tanzania. Pick up from the border and travel to Northern Serengeti National Park.
  • If you are here during the migration, you will see the incredible wildlife populations of the Northern Serengeti. If you are here at other times, wildlife is still easy to see, and very few people are around. Whatever time of year you are here, you will enjoy beautiful scenery with rocky outcrops and the Mara River flowing by.
  • Main Destination: Serengeti National Park
  • Accommodation: Kenzan Migration Camp
5
Day 05

Northern Serengeti Great Migration Safari

  • Enjoy a full-day guided safari following the Great Migration in the northern Serengeti. Your guide will make the most of the day by searching for the active migration path.
  • The chances are high depending on your travel dates, and we hope to spend the entire day in this outstanding wildlife area.
  • Main Destination: Northern Serengeti National Park
  • Accommodation: Kenzan Migration Camp
6
Day 06

Northern to Central Serengeti Wildlife Drive

  • Depart from Northern Serengeti and travel to Central Serengeti.
  • When people dream of the Serengeti, they probably dream of the Central Serengeti. That is because the central part of the Serengeti, the Seronera area, is a spectacular destination for wildlife sightings. This area is home to enormous numbers of wildlife. The landscape is filled with acacia trees and those Serengeti horizons that seem to go on forever.
  • During the guided afternoon game drive, expect many wildlife sightings, including elephants and big cats. There is no better place to go looking for animals, and your guide will help make this a memorable excursion.
  • Main Destination: Central Serengeti National Park (Tanzania)
  • Accommodation: Central Serengeti Moyo Camp Warangi

Day 07

Serengeti to the Magical Ngorongoro Crater

This morning, we will travel to the next stage of your safari and enjoy a magical game drive to our next destination.

You will learn why magical Ngorongoro is unlike anywhere else in Africa. Cloud forests encircle the crater rim, and the view out across the caldera of this former volcano - quite apart from the altitude - will leave you gasping for air. Your drive down a steep trail carries you onto the crater floor, where a unique wildlife offering adds to the sheer beauty of the experience. You will share the sunken ecosystem on the crater floor with hyenas, lions, elephants, black rhinos, and hippos. It is an ecosystem formed in the crater in the millennia since the volcano wrought terrible fury upon the land. Today might just be one of your best safari days ever!

Main Destination: Ngorongoro Crater (Tanzania)

Accommodation: Ngorongoro Farm House

8
Day 08

Ngorongoro to Tarangire and Onward to Arusha

As you join us for a guided game drive through Tarangire National Park early this morning, you will almost surely see elephants and possibly even lions.

Explore one of Tanzania's most rewarding national parks, a land of big baobab trees, big elephants, and big cats. No wonder this ends up being the favorite park in Tanzania for many visitors. Sightings of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys, and zebras are also almost guaranteed. Tarangire is home to one of Tanzania's healthiest lion populations, so lions are plentiful here. While you will have to work a little harder to see a cheetah or leopard, it will only enhance your excitement when you do. You can also look forward to classic safari scenery, savannah plains, river woodlands, and rocky hills.

Later in the afternoon, we will drive to Arusha for an overnight stay to shorten the distance to Amboseli the next day.

Main Destination: Tarangire National Park (Tanzania)

Accommodation: The Charity Hotel / Under the Shade Safari Lodge
