PROMISING THE VERY BEST wildlife viewing in Kenya and Tanzania, this safari is sure to wow the first-time traveler to Africa as well as the safari enthusiast planning a tenth wildlife pilgrimage. Roam the plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya, both teeming with wildlife. Marvel at the snow-capped Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the highest free standing extinct volcano in the world, originally in Kenya but given to the Kaiser by Queen Victoria as she already had Mt Kenya! Witness the contrasts between the arid Samburu in the north of Kenya, with its endemic wildlife different to that in the south, and the lush pastures of the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, the world’s largest caldera, with its full kaleidoscope of African wildlife happily living in the bowl of the crater.

Rise with dawn's early light for your game drive - you may catch up with the big cats, sated after their night's hunts.

Day 6, Masai Mara
Your adventure continues as you take wing to the Masai Mara, Kenya's premier game reserve. Located along the Mara River, your traditional safari camp is in the heart of where over a million wildebeest and zebra make their migration crossing every year. With your camera gear ready, meet your expert rangers and take off on a game drive across the reserve's tree-flecked grasslands. You’ll be amazed by the huge herds of plains game, large herds of elephant and a wide variety of other animals and birds. Return to your camp in time for "sundowners" and dinner prepared by your gracious Maasai hosts.
