Embark on a breathtaking 10-day safari across Kenya and Tanzania, where the vast savannahs of the Masai Mara Game Reserve meet the shimmering flocks of flamingos at Lake Nakuru National Park, the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara National Park, the dramatic descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, and the iconic plains of the Serengeti National Park. With a perfect balance of wildlife, culture and landscapes, this Kenya-Tanzania experience offers the ultimate East Africa safari adventure.

Day 1-2: Masai Mara Game Reserve

Begin your journey with a drive from Nairobi into the Masai Mara, Kenya’s premier wildlife sanctuary and home to over 450 species of animals. Enjoy a late afternoon game drive on day 1, followed by a full day of wildlife viewing on day 2 — perfect for spotting lions, cheetahs, elephants, and possibly the great wildebeest migration (in July-September).

Day 3-4: Lake Nakuru National Park

On day 3, depart the Mara and travel to Lake Nakuru via scenic routes including Mt Longonot and Lake Naivasha views. Day 4 offers a morning game drive at Lake Nakuru, renowned for its rhino sanctuary and vast flocks of flamingos glittering along the shore.

Day 5: Transition to Tanzania – Arusha

Depart Kenya’s Nairobi early and transit to Arusha in Tanzania via Namanga border. Arrive afternoon, check into your hotel and rest in preparation for the Tanzanian leg of the safari.

Day 6: Lake Manyara National Park

From Arusha, head to Lake Manyara for a game drive in this unique park — famous for “tree-climbing” lions and large flocks of flamingos. Afternoon at leisure in the tented camp under the stars.

Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater

Descend some 670 m into the crater floor for a full day of game viewing amid one of Africa’s greatest natural wonders. Spot rhino, lion, buffalo, elephant and more, while enjoying a picnic at Ngorongoro’s elegant crater rim.

Day 8-9: Serengeti National Park

After visiting the historical Olduvai Gorge (site of early human remains), proceed to the Serengeti for afternoon game drive on day 8 and a final morning drive on day 9. Explore the vast plains, witness abundant wildlife and soak in the open-air freedom of East Africa’s most iconic park.

Day 10: Departure – Arusha to Zanzibar or Nairobi

On the final day, after breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airport in Arusha for your onward flight to Zanzibar (optional beach extension) or return to Nairobi. A perfect wrap to an unforgettable safari journey.
