Tour Description

Spend 9 days exploring the best safari destinations Kenya and Tanzania have to offer, from the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru’s flamingo-fringed shores to the rolling plains of the Serengeti and the wildlife-dense floor of the Ngorongoro Crater.

This itinerary blends classic Kenyan parks with Tanzania’s most celebrated reserves, including a cultural Maasai village visit, game drives across four major parks, and an overland border crossing at Namanga, for a comprehensive East African safari experience.

Detailed Itinerary

You will be picked at the Airport or after breakfast our Representative will meet you to finalize and brief about the safari plan and introduce you to your guide, then depart for the Masai Mara National Reserve via the viewpoint at the Great Rift Valley. You will enjoy lunch in Narok. On arrival in the park, you will proceed on a game drive, tracking various animal species and birds with your driver/guide. You will arrive for dinner and your overnight stay at the Lodge.

Your guide will pick you after breakfast to proceed on a full-day game drive within the reserve. The landscape here is scenic savannah grassland on rolling hills. The reserve is the best park for game viewing in Kenya as it has an extensive road and track network which allows for close-range encounters, known as the 8th Wonder of the World and the best park to view the Big Cats. You will break for your picnic lunch at Hippo Pool, looking out for hippos and crocodiles. In the evening after the game drive, the guide will drop you at the Lodge for dinner and overnight.

Optional early morning Balloon Ride can be organized at an extra cost.

After breakfast, proceed on a game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, known for its prolific birdlife including flamingos. The park contains a sanctuary for the conservation of the white rhino, while species like Cape buffalo and waterbuck can be seen near the shoreline. Later, drive to Nairobi, arriving in the evening with lunch enroute, and drop off at your hotel for dinner and overnight at Hotel Embassy or similar.
