Experience some of the best wildlife reserves on the African continent. This safari is a ‘best of’ East Africa, hopping between Kenya and Tanzania experiencing awe-inspiring wildlife and vastly different scenery. Throughout your safari you will stay in authentic tented camps and enjoy game drives, walks, sundowners, hot air balloons and bush meals.
In Kenya you will combine Amboseli National Park, a region famous for both its huge elephant population and incredible views of Mount Kilimanjaro, with the famous Maasai Mara Reserve. Experience the wildebeest migration (in the Mara from July to Nov) and its year-round resident game, including the big cats. In Tanzania you will get a chance to take in both the natural wonder that is the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti National Park. With the great migration in full flow for most of the year in the Serengeti, we have used a mobile tented camp to maximize your chances of being in the right place at the right time.
