Nairobi to Maasai Mara National Reserve

Maasai Mara National Reserve - Begin your journey with a hotel pick-up and drive to Maasai Mara, stopping at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint for a stunning view of the valley floor. Here, you can admire the semi-active Mt. Longonot and two dormant volcanoes, Mt. Suswa and Mt. Margaret, for about 10 minutes. Arrive in time for lunch and check into your hotel. At 4:00 p.m., embark on a two-hour game drive in the Mara Reserve, returning to camp by 6:00 p.m. Enjoy a delicious buffet dinner and relax at the camp.

Full Day Maasai Mara

Maasai Mara National Reserve - Start your day with an early breakfast at 6:30 a.m. and set off for a full day of game viewing. This day is crucial as you aim to spot the Big Five, particularly the elusive big cats. Visit the renowned Mara River, witness the great migration, and enjoy a guided tour by rangers to see Nile crocodiles and hippo families. Cap off the day with a picnic lunch under a tree, overlooking the expansive landscapes. The Mara is home to one of nature’s most spectacular events: the great migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebra journey from the Serengeti in search of water and pasture, followed by savanna predators like lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and vultures.

Maasai Mara to Serengeti via Isebania Border

Serengeti National Park - After an early breakfast at 6:00 a.m., check out and exit through the South Gate. Drive to the Isebania border of Tanzania, arriving around midday. Complete the hour-long border crossing process, meet your Tanzanian driver, and begin a game drive in the Serengeti en route to your accommodation.

Full Day Serengeti National Reserve

Serengeti National Park - Enjoy breakfast at 7:00 a.m. before embarking on a full-day game drive in the Serengeti, with a picnic lunch at 1:00 p.m. Return to the camp/lodge for dinner and an overnight stay. Located in Tanzania, the Serengeti is renowned for its abundant wildlife and the great wildebeest migration. Spanning 14,763 square kilometers (5,700 square miles), it extends north to Kenya and borders Lake Victoria to the west. The Serengeti boasts the highest concentration of large mammals on Earth and is famous for its 2,500 lions, the largest concentration found anywhere. The park is also home to over 518 bird species, including Eurasian migrants present during the European winter months from October to April.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro

Ngorongoro to Lake Manyara

Lake Manyara - Enjoy a full-day tour of Ngorongoro, starting at 7:00 a.m. and concluding at 3:00 p.m. with a picnic lunch. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area encompasses vast highland plains, savanna, woodlands, and forests. Established in 1959 as a multi-use area, it allows wildlife to coexist with semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists practicing traditional livestock grazing. The area includes the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest caldera, and is globally significant for biodiversity conservation due to the presence of threatened species, dense wildlife populations, and the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, and other animals into the northern plains. Extensive archaeological research has uncovered a long sequence of human evolution and human-environment dynamics, including early hominid footprints dating back 3.6 million years.
