10 Days, 9 Nights

For sheer numbers and variety of wildlife, not to mention breathtaking vistas, Masai Mara and Serengeti have no equal.  For years, travelers have been coming to these adjacent parks – one in Tanzania and the other in Kenya -  to see the Big Five, and many more of Africa’s iconic animals. The wide open skies, the plains dotted with acacia trees, the rivers across which the wildebeest migration occurs …these are backdrops from movies which come to life for you. After overnighting in Nairobi, you’ll fly to Sweetwaters Game Sanctuary in Nanyuki and then on to the Masai Mara.. Cross from Kenya to Tanzania and the vast Serengeti for more game sighting opportunities. Games drives and camp activities are included. Next, you’ll drive to Ngorongoro Crater, stopping off at a Maasai village enroute.  Peaceful Lake Manyara National Park is your final stop before crossing the vast Rift Valley toward Arusha where you will board your flight back to Nairobi.
