You’ll settle into camp, surrounded by nature and the sounds of the wild.
Today shall be a game viewing extravaganza!
Masai Mara Game reserve remains the most exciting wildlife eco-system in the Natural world. It is host to the highest and most varied concentration of wild animals than any other wildlife park in the region. The scenic appeal of the tree studded savannah plains, the moderate climate and diversity of wild game species makes it a one stop shop for game viewing activities. We shall traverse the Masai Mara reserve on a full day of unlimited game viewing encountering the big five and more of the lesser game.
We shall visit the Mara river where we may watch hippos & crocodiles or maybe the great migration (July – October).
After breakfast, embark on a journey south to the Isebania/Sirari border, where Kenya’s wild beauty meets Tanzania’s iconic landscapes. Here, experience the excitement of crossing into Tanzania before continuing toward the Serengeti National Park. Along the way, see the terrain shift to the Serengeti’s endless, sweeping plains, where you'll catch glimpses of acacia-dotted landscapes teeming with wildlife. Arrive just in time for an evening game drive as the Serengeti’s famed sunsets paint the horizon.
Awake early for a full day exploring Serengeti’s heartland! From agile cheetahs sprinting across the plains to elephant families moving in harmony, every turn reveals a new wonder. Join optional excursions like a hot air balloon ride to float over the vast plains at sunrise. With picnic spots offering panoramic views, you’ll lunch surrounded by one of the most vibrant ecosystems in the world. As dusk falls, the Serengeti’s nightlife takes over, with hyenas and lions prowling the shadows as you return to camp.
Bid farewell to the Serengeti and journey towards Ngorongoro, a UNESCO World Heritage site. As you ascend to the crater rim, enjoy sweeping views of the vast caldera below. After settling in, take in the stunning highland landscapes and spot wildlife roaming near the crater rim. Enjoy a good exploration into this "Garden of Eden," known for its dense population of lions, elephants, and endangered black rhinos.
Your final day begins with a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater brimming with life. Watch lions lounging on the crater floor, rhinos grazing in open areas, and flamingos gathering along the shores of Lake Magadi. After an unforgettable morning, head to Arusha, reflecting on the incredible landscapes and wildlife encounters that have made this safari a journey of a lifetime.

Visa Requirements: You’ll need visas for both Kenya and Tanzania. For convenience, some travelers can apply for an East African tourist visa, which covers Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Make sure to confirm visa requirements based on your nationality.
Vaccinations and Health Precautions: A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry into both Kenya and Tanzania, so be sure to get vaccinated if you haven't already. Anti-malarial medication is also highly recommended, as both countries have areas with malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
Packing Essentials: Prepare for a range of temperatures by packing lightweight clothing, layers for cool mornings and evenings, a wide-brimmed hat, and comfortable walking shoes for game drives. Don’t forget binoculars, which make a big difference for spotting wildlife in the distance.
Cash and Currency: While credit cards are accepted in some areas, it’s best to have cash for smaller purchases and tips. Both Kenya and Tanzania accept U.S. dollars, but be sure the bills are from 2011 or later, as older ones are often not accepted.
Local Customs and Etiquette: Respect local customs by asking permission before photographing the Maasai or other local people. Dress modestly, especially when visiting villages or interacting with the local community, to show respect for cultural norms.
