The Safari in Kenya & Tanzania is Great for:
Just like the wildebeest migrate, we travel south to the legendary Serengeti National Park, hoping to follow the incredible Great Migration with some luck. After exploring the Serengeti, we'll continue to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and natural wonder, and the most densely populated wildlife area in the world. Then, we visit Tarangire National Park, which is characterized by stunning views over valleys filled with baobab trees and an astonishing number of elephants.
From here, we drive to Arusha, the safari capital of Tanzania. You can enjoy a well-deserved break to relax and explore the vibrant town. Finally, we travel back to Kenya to visit the magnificent Amboseli National Park. Here, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro while observing large elephant herds in their natural habitat. Our journey concludes where we began, in Nairobi, completing an unforgettable safari experience through East Africa's most iconic destinations.
