Welcome to your Kenya & Tanzania safari! Upon arrival, our driver will take you to your Nairobi hotel. This customized safari is all about your choices, so discuss your preferences with your guide. Spend your first day relaxing and soaking in the African ambiance. Your adventure starts tomorrow with a day full of wildlife and scenic beauty, tailored just for you.

Today starts with an 8 am pickup from your Nairobi hotel, heading to the scenic Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Great Rift Valley. Enjoy a 2-hour boat ride and a nature walk at Lake Naivasha National Park. After lunch at the resort, take an afternoon boat ride to Crescent Island and a relaxing walk around the lake. End your day with a sunset dinner at Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort, surrounded by the serene wilderness.

Enjoy a thrilling day in the Masai Mara. Start with a morning game drive to see the wildebeest migration and the Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos. You might see exciting wildlife action like river crossings. After lunch at your lodge, head out again in the afternoon to explore more, seeing various animals across the Mara's beautiful plains.

Today, we leave the edge of the Serengeti with a packed lunch, stopping first at the Isebania/Serare border for visa procedures and vehicle changes. Here, we'll briefly part with our Kenyan guide. In Tanzania, a new guide will introduce you to the Serengeti, a wildlife haven with over 1.6 million animals. The drive from the Masai Mara to central Serengeti takes about 7 hours, covering 280 km.

For a quicker journey, consider an air transfer from Masai Mara to Serengeti, offering stunning aerial views of the wildlife and plains.

Enjoy another day of discovery in the Serengeti with an early breakfast followed by a morning game drive to spot lions, elephants, and possibly leopards. After exploring the park's wildlife with your guide, return for lunch and relaxation at the lodge. The afternoon brings more animal sightings, including zebras and wildebeests. Conclude your day with a serene evening back at camp, immersed in the sounds of the wild.

On Day 9, explore the Ngorongoro Crater, a hotspot for wildlife including the Big Five, and one of Africa's Seven Natural Wonders. Enjoy a safari through the crater, a picnic lunch near hippos, and further animal watching. End the day at your lodge with dinner and views of the crater. Also, experience local culture with a visit to a Maasai village in the conservation area.

Enjoy a full-day safari in Amboseli National Park, starting with an early morning adventure to spot elephants, zebras, giraffes, and antelopes, and observe various bird species. After a midday break and lunch at your lodge, head back into the park for afternoon wildlife viewing, with chances to see lions and cheetahs near watering holes. End your day with dinner at the lodge, reflecting on the day's sightings with Mount Kilimanjaro as a stunning backdrop.

For a different view of the wildlife, consider a balloon safari. Floating silently above the plains and seeing the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro and herds of wildlife from the air is an amazing experience.

Today is a free day for you to either relax or explore, based on the timing of your flight. Your driver will take you to Jomo Kenyatta Airport for your departure.
