This itinerary is designed to not only give you a taste of the best of East Africa but also give you the best chance of catching the famous wildebeest migration. Every year the wildebeest herds move between Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve and Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, with the river crossings being one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles on the planet.
In this trip you will stay in both parks, in Sanctuary Olonana, an award-winning tented camp on a private stretch of the Mara River, where the famous last scene from "Out of Africa" was filmed, and Sanctuary Kichakani Serengeti Camp, a classic tented safari camp which will move around and follow the migration - ensuring you are able to view the migration whatever time of year you travel.
In addition to these, you will get a chance to take in Tarangire National Park, arguably northern Tanzania's most interesting park, famous for the large herds of elephants and spectacular baobab trees. The accommodation throughout is luxurious and the guiding superb. Activities will include game drives, walking safaris and bush meals. Flying between each camp by light aircraft, the transition will be seamless and allow maximum time for exploration and relaxation.
The prices in our itineraries are intended to guide you towards a potential budget for your holiday.
The cost of your tailored holiday will be dependent on what accommodation and airline class you select, the season you travel in, the airline used, any discounts applied or additional private extras you require.

Do be aware, however, of any hidden extras and that you are indeed comparing like for like whilst also receiving the same quality service and financial protection.
