About this trip

Ten days across two countries, moving through some of East Africa's best-known safari ground. You cover the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, so there's a real sense of the wilderness changing as you go.

Camping is part of the deal here, so expect a hands-on, close-to-nature style of travel rather than lodge comfort every night. There's also a stop at Olduvai Gorge, where some of the earliest human remains were found, adding a bit of history to the wildlife-watching.

What you'll do

  • Game drives in the Maasai Mara
  • Wildlife watching at Lake Nakuru
  • Explore Lake Manyara National Park
  • Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater
  • Safari across the Serengeti plains
  • Visit Olduvai Gorge, site of early human fossil finds
Good to know
  • Camping-based trip, so pack for basic overnight conditions
  • Covers both Kenya and Tanzania, with border crossing involved
  • Suits those who want a wildlife-focused itinerary over a relaxed pace

Route map for Kenya & Tanzania Adventure
  1. Start with a safari briefing, then drive southwest into Tarangire National Park. The landscape shifts between swamps and baobab trees, home to massive elephant herds (up to 600), wildebeest, Masai giraffes, buffalo and zebras. Game drive until late afternoon, then head to camp.

  2. Travel from Tarangire to Lake Manyara National Park after breakfast. Over 400 bird species live here, plus primate-filled forests and grassy plains. The alkaline lake hosts seasonal flamingo colonies, and you'll spot giraffes, hippos, wildebeest, impalas, monkeys and baboons.

  3. Ngorongoro Conservation Area — Ngorongoro Conservation Area

    Drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area crater rim and hike down the steep trail. Within this compact space you'll find the Big Five, wildebeest, Grant's and Thomson's gazelles, mountain reedbucks, and some of Africa's last black rhinos. Morning game drive and picnic lunch before leaving.

  4. Early morning game drive followed by late morning breakfast. Optional hot air balloon ride (book ahead) with champagne breakfast for the keen. The visitor centre is worth a look if time allows. Possibly another afternoon game drive before returning to camp.

  5. Early start for more Serengeti driving to spot animals you've missed, including rare African wild dogs. The Big Five roam here too. Leave the park and continue to Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake. You'll see a different side of Tanzania—fertile, densely inhabited, and quieter than the safari zones.

  6. Masai Mara — Lake Victoria

    Canoe trip on Lake Victoria with local fishermen to watch traditional fishing methods. Then tackle the longest drive of the trip to Kenya's Masai Mara, known for the highest lion population of any African reserve. Other big cats live here year-round. Stay overnight at Miti Mingi camp.

  7. Game viewing in Masai Mara Game Reserve, including a trip to the Mara River. This is where thousands of wildebeest and zebras attempt their yearly crossing while crocodiles wait below. Witnessing the swollen river and mass migration is intense and often brutal. Two nights at Miti Mingi camp.

  8. Leave Masai Mara and reach Lake Nakuru National Park by early afternoon. The shallow alkaline lake attracts seasonal flamingo flocks alongside over 450 bird species and 50 mammals. Endangered white and black rhinos, Rothschild's giraffes, lions, cheetahs, leopards, baboons, monkeys and pythons are all here.

  9. Two days of game viewing at Masai Mara Game Reserve. Visit the Mara River where thousands of wildebeest and zebras cross during migration, facing crocodile-filled waters. The swollen river creates an intense spectacle; at other times, hippos and crocodiles dominate. Stay two nights at camp.

  10. Leave Lake Nakuru National Park after breakfast and drive southeast towards Nairobi. Kenya's capital is bustling and chaotic. Arrive early afternoon and head either to the city centre or straight to the airport depending on your onward plans.

What travellers actually say

Worth it if you're flexible on itinerary changes and prepared for basic tent accommodation in Tanzania. Think twice if you've booked specific parks or expect luxury throughout.

  • Wildlife sightings consistently strong: lions, rhinos, elephants, Big Five, migration scenes across Mara and Serengeti.
  • Guide quality makes or breaks it—standout guides like Kaka, Jackson, Graham, Maxwell kept groups engaged and safe.
  • Itinerary changes happen on arrival with no advance notice; parks swapped, end location changed, accommodation downgrades unavoidable.
  • Tanzania accommodation is basic tented camps with potential issues (insects, drainage, bats); Kenya lodges better. Upgrade early if needed.
