  • Day : 2 Masai Mara Game Reserve

    Our days start with an early breakfast at the camp, and by 7:30 a.m., we're off on a long game drive with picnic lunches. Savanna grassland on rolling hills makes up the landscape here. The reserve is Kenya's best game park because it has an extensive network of roads and trails that make it easy to see and photograph animals up close. A game drive to the Mara River, where animals move, and you can see crocodiles and hippos. After seeing the hippos and crocodiles, stop for a picnic lunch. The game drive will go on until 1700 hrs. Get out of the park and drive back to the camp for dinner and overnight at Zebra Plains Mara Camp.

    Early breakfast, check-out, and an en-route game drive to track the wildcats as they hunt and kill very early in the morning. If you are lucky, you will witness a hunt and a kill. The Kenya guide will transfer you to Isebania, where you will meet the Tanzania guide. After Immigration clearance, our Tanzanian counterpart will transfer you to Serengeti, checking in at Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma Camp (with a game drive en route) and checking into the tented camp in the early evening.

  • Day : 4 Serengeti National Park

    Leave the camp with picnic lunches and embark on a full-day game drive in this savannah grassland park as you look out for various wildlife.

    After breakfast and the final early-morning game drive in the Serengeti – we will pack and drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with lunch en route.

  • Day : 6 Ngorongoro Crater– Arusha

    We wake up to an early morning breakfast, after which we descend 2000 feet onto the floor of the “crater,” which is, in fact, one of the world’s most intact caldera. As you approach from the only inroad, viewing the wildlife activity below creates a tingling sensation and evokes a strong appreciation of nature. Enjoy your picnic lunch at the crater’s designated picnic sites at lunchtime. Later, exit the Crater and drive towards Arusha, passing through the fertile highland areas of Karatu, with a cultural visit at Mto Wa Mbu, just outside the seasonal Lake Manyara National Park entrance.
