This park is renowned for its breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Upon arrival, settle into your accommodation and enjoy an afternoon game drive to spot elephants, lions, and other wildlife against the stunning backdrop of the snow-capped mountain.
Rise early for a memorable morning game drive in Amboseli, catching glimpses of wildlife awakening to the day. After breakfast, bid farewell to Amboseli and head to Lake Naivasha. The afternoon is yours to explore the serene lake, where boat safaris offer opportunities to see hippos, diverse bird species, and perhaps even giraffes along the shoreline. Relax and rejuvenate at your chosen accommodation overlooking Lake Naivasha.
Depart Lake Naivasha after breakfast and make your way to the world-renowned Masai Mara. The journey itself is an adventure, with the landscape changing dramatically as you enter the Mara ecosystem. Arriving at your camp or lodge, you’ll have time to settle in before an afternoon game drive in the expansive plains of the Masai Mara. Keep your camera ready for encounters with the Big Five and the vibrant Mara wildlife.
Immerse yourself in the wonders of the Masai Mara with a full day of game drives. The Mara is famous for its annual migration of wildebeest and zebras, a spectacle that attracts predators and offers incredible photo opportunities. Between game drives, take a break to savor a picnic lunch in the heart of the reserve. As the day unfolds, witness the untamed beauty of the Mara and the diverse wildlife that inhabits this iconic African landscape.
Be one of only a few fortunate people to glide in a Hot Air Balloon over the Masai Mara (available at supplementary cost by pre-arrangement). Floating silently above the awakening bush, while spotting wildlife and enjoying the amazing scenery of Africa, across rivers and over numerous small villages.
On your final day, enjoy a leisurely morning game drive in the Masai Mara, capturing any last-minute sightings you may have missed. After lunch, bid farewell to the Mara as you journey back to Nairobi. Arriving in the late afternoon, you’ll have time for last-minute shopping or a brief exploration of Nairobi before concluding your unforgettable Kenya Safari.
With a load of memories to cherish, this is the time to say goodbye to Kenya. On your departure day, we’ll pick you up from the hotel and escort you to Nairobi International Airport, where you’ll catch your flight back home.

Tanzania Safari holidays are good all-year-round. Because of such close proximity to the equator, Tanzania undergoes two distinct dry and wet seasons. But the best-best time depends on the type of Tanzania safari activity you choose. However, the dry season of June to October is considered to be the best time to go on the Tanzania safari.
During the period of December to March, the Serengeti Migration congregates in large herds around Lake Ndutu in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area of Tanzania Safari. So, the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti is usually during June and July and January to February is the perfect time to see the wildebeest calving.
Ideally, there is no fixed price range for Tanzania safari. There are several factors such as time, numbers of days, and accommodations types that influence the Tanzania safari cost. However, the average cost of Tanzania Safari per day can come down to $400 (dollars) per head for a lodge safari and around $200 (dollars) per day for camping.
Yes, Tanzania is a fairly safe country. Every year millions of tourists visit this beautiful country in the hopes of a thrilling Tanzania travel experience. And, the statistics say that maximum tourists leave the country with their heart bubbling with joy and a secret promise to visit again.
Tanzania offers a great range of lodges and tented camps. However, your Tanzania accommodations depend on the type of packages you have purchased like budget safaris, standard or luxury Tanzania safari.
