An 8-day, 7-night safari combining the best of Kenya and Tanzania is a whirlwind adventure that offers an unparalleled wildlife experience. This itinerary is designed to maximize game viewing across the iconic parks of both countries, appealing to those who want to see a vast diversity of wildlife and landscapes in a limited timeframe.
Masai Mara: Kenya’s most famous reserve, renowned for its incredible concentration of wildlife, the vast rolling grasslands, and the opportunity to see the “Big Five.” It’s also the site of the Great Migration’s dramatic river crossings (July-October).
Serengeti: Tanzania’s most celebrated park, known for its endless plains, high density of predators, and the Great Migration.
Ngorongoro Crater: A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. It’s a self-contained ecosystem with an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including the best chance to see the black rhino.
Lake Manyara: A scenic park at the foot of the Great Rift Valley, famous for its tree-climbing lions and a diverse array of birdlife, including flamingos.
Logistics: The safari typically begins in Nairobi, Kenya, and ends in Arusha, Tanzania, or vice versa. The journey involves a cross-border crossing at the Isebania border, which is handled by your safari company. You’ll travel in a custom-designed 4×4 vehicle, often with a different vehicle and guide in each country.

Full Day Maasai Mara
Early breakfast at 6.30am and Depart for a full day game viewing. This is the most important day since we are hoping to see the big five, especially the big cats which are extremely illusive. Also we will visit the famous Mara river where the great migration happens, have a guided tour by the rangers to see the Nile crocodiles and hippo families and just to top it off have a picnic lunch under a tree in the park overlooking the vast landscapes.
It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place: the great migration. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (in Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna – lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and vultures.
