Your African safari adventure begins at 7:30 am when we pick you up from your hotel, residence, or the airport, starting the journey towards the world-famous Masai Mara. On the way, you’ll have the opportunity to observe the beautiful Kenyan countryside, passing through villages, vast plains, and stunning mountain views.

We will stop for a traditional Kenyan lunch before continuing to Masai Mara. Upon arrival, you’ll immediately embark on your first thrilling game drive, where you can start spotting the abundant wildlife. From elephants and lions to baboons and buffalo, the park’s diverse inhabitants will offer you your first glimpses of Africa’s wild animals.

As dusk sets in, you’ll be taken to your accommodation for dinner and rest, preparing for an exciting full day of safari the following day.

After an early breakfast, you’ll head into the heart of the Masai Mara, a land shared by the Maasai people and a plethora of wildlife. During the morning game drive, your guide will assist in spotting iconic animals, including the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and leopards—along with other fascinating species that inhabit this incredible park.

Lunch will be a picnic in the park, after which you’ll have the chance to visit a traditional Maasai village. Here, you’ll experience their vibrant culture, greeted with traditional songs and dances, and explore their homes and way of life. (Optional activity, with an extra fee of $20 per person).

In the evening, you’ll be taken back to your accommodation for dinner and a restful night.

An early rise gives you the opportunity to experience the savanna in the soft light of dawn. After your game drive, enjoy breakfast before heading toward the Isbania border, where you’ll cross into Tanzania.

As you drive through the scenic Tanzanian countryside towards the Ikoma Gate of Serengeti National Park, you’ll have a game drive en route, giving you the chance to spot animals on your journey. Upon arrival at your lodge or camp, you can relax with a delicious dinner before resting for the night.

Today, you have the option to choose between a full-day game drive or a morning game drive followed by a break and an afternoon/evening game drive. Both options will provide ample time to witness the incredible wildlife of the Serengeti, including the Big Five, zebras, giraffes, hippos, cheetahs, and much more.

Lunch will be served at your accommodation if you opt for the morning and evening safari or as a picnic in the park if you decide to explore for the full day. After your game drive, you’ll return to your camp or lodge for dinner.

You’ll spend the night at your chosen accommodation either inside or on the rim of the crater, with dinner served at the lodge.

Start your day with breakfast before heading to Lake Manyara, passing through the breathtaking Great African Rift Valley. Lunch will be served picnic-style along the way, surrounded by nature.

Lake Manyara is known for its alkaline waters and lush surroundings, creating a different atmosphere compared to previous parks. The abundant tree cover may allow you to spot the park’s famous tree-climbing lions. Other wildlife, including baboons, elephants, and hippos, can also be seen here.

In the evening, you’ll return to your accommodation for dinner and rest.

Lunch will be served picnic-style in the park, giving you a chance to take in the sights and sounds of the African savanna. After a full day of safari, return to your accommodation for dinner and an evening of relaxation.

On your final day of safari, you’ll wake early to watch the sun rise over the plains, with the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance. This is your last opportunity to enjoy the incredible wildlife of Africa before departing.
