Ultimate East African Safari
A safari designed to not only give you a taste of the highlights 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 Maasai Mara Game Reserve and Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, with the river crossings being one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles on the planet.
On 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 moves a few times a year to follow the herds. In addition to these, you will stay in Sanctuary Swala Camp in the Tarangire region, famous for the large herds of elephants and spectacular baobab trees. Activities throughout 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.
