7 Days High-end Kenya and Tanzania Safari

Depart early in the morning for the Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of the last places on Earth where wildlife thrives in numbers reminiscent of the historic plains and forests of Africa. As the northern extension of the expansive Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara is famed for the spectacular seasonal migration of thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and their predators. Arrive in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive.

Accommodation: & Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp

Meal plan: All-Inclusive

After breakfast, we embark on a full-day game drive with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is renowned for its black-maned lions and abundant resident wildlife, and it's one of the few places where you can spot the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many cheetahs in the reserve are so accustomed to vehicles that they often seek shade beneath them and occasionally climb onto the roofs for a better view of potential prey. Bird enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that almost 500 species have been recorded here, including 16 species of eagles, numerous hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 species of bustards (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

We'll start the day with an early morning game drive in the Masai Mara as we make our way out of the reserve. After completing border formalities, we'll drive to Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Though it will be a long day of driving, the game drives in and out of the parks can be surprisingly rewarding. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at a campsite or lodge.

As you crest the hillside, the vast Serengeti unfolds before you, stretching as far as the eye can see. Serengeti, meaning "endless plains" in Kiswahili, spans 6,900 square miles (18,000 square km) and is home to over two million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by the abundance of prey migrating throughout the park. Numerous smaller animals, including rock hyraxes, bat-eared foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares, also inhabit this diverse ecosystem, along with nearly 500 species of birds.
You'll enjoy an afternoon game drive en route to the campsite. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at a public campsite or private tented camp/lodge.

In the afternoon, we'll journey to Ngorongoro, acclaimed as the eighth natural wonder of the world. With towering walls reaching 2,000 feet and a crater floor sprawling across 102 square miles, it's akin to a modern-day Noah's Ark. Almost every species of wildlife native to East Africa calls this crater home, including the elusive black rhino. Renowned for hosting the highest concentration of wildlife on the planet, the crater's rich volcanic soil and grasses nurture large bull elephants, known for their impressive tusks.
