Tour Overview
This journey brings together the very best of Tanzania and Kenya in one trip. From the forested beauty of Lake Manyara to the endless plains of the Serengeti, from the dramatic Ngorongoro Crater to the elephant-rich Amboseli. You also explore Lake Nakuru and the famous Masai Mara. Your game drives are fully private, with your own English-speaking driver-guide.
At the border near Amboseli, you simply change vehicle and guide and continue your journey without hassle. Along the way, you have plenty of time to look for the Big Five, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras, and many other remarkable animals. This is a true combination of East Africa’s most iconic parks. During your safari, you stay in carefully selected lodges and tented camps.
If you wish, you can end your journey with a beach extension on the south coast of Mombasa or on the island of Zanzibar.

Days 3-4: Serengeti National Park
On day 3, you drive through a scenic route into the Serengeti. The journey itself is part of the experience. This is one of the best places to see the wildlife of East Africa. With a picnic lunch on the way, you enjoy a full-day game drive through wide open plains. You stop whenever something catches your eye. The Serengeti is home to thousands of predators and around 1.6 million herbivores. It is also a great place for bird lovers, with endless variety across the skies and trees. On day 4, you go out for morning and afternoon game drives. Each drive brings something new. If you wish, you can also take an optional balloon safari. From above, you see the landscape and wildlife in a completely different way.
Day 5: Karatu
Today you leave the Serengeti behind and head towards the impressive Ngorongoro Crater. On the way, you can optionally visit the archaeological site of Oldupai Gorge and learn more about early human history. You can also choose to enjoy an extra game drive in the Serengeti in the morning, before continuing your journey after lunch (at an additional cost). In the afternoon, you travel to Karatu, where you will stay overnight on the rim of the crater.
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater
Today you descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full game drive on the crater floor. You enjoy a picnic lunch inside the crater while surrounded by wildlife.

On the afternoon of day 11, you take a game drive, and on day 12, you go on two exciting game drives. Lions and leopards could easily cross your path during your safari!
