Itinerary
Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on a flight to be decided. After a safari briefing,
meet your driver-guide and drive to Lake Naivasha. The arrival to Hell's Gate National Park.
You can only cycle in this area if you rent a bicycle. The park is home to over 100 bird species,
including vultures, Verreaux's Eagles, Augur Buzzards, and Swifts. There are also African
Buffalo, Zebra, Eland, Hartebeest, Thomson's Gazelle, and Baboons. The park also has
Klipspringer Antelope and Chanler's Mountain Reedbuck–enjoy hot or picnic lunches before
returning to the respective accommodation in the afternoon.
You will be picked up from your respective accommodation early in the morning and driven
to the Masai Mara game reserve via the Great Rift Valley. There will be a brief stopover at the
Rift Valley View Point, which offers a spectacular view of the valley floor and its beautiful
landscape, as well as Narok town for a break and refueling. Arrive in time for lunch; eat at the
Camp and relax before heading out on the afternoon game drive. After that, take an afternoon
game drive through the park in search of animals, most notably the wildebeest migration from
Tanzania's Serengeti in July–October. To spot the wildebeests, Zebras, Lion, Cheetah,
Elephant, and Buffalo, Thompson’s gazelle, hyena, black-backed and side-striped jackals,
impala, bat-eared foxes, baboons, warthog, Thompson's gazelle, Grant's gazelle, waterbuck,
reedbuck, hippo, crocodile, and e
As you explore this magnificent Park, you can spend the entire day watching games. The Mara
is a land of African legend: lions, elephants, giraffes, and a variety of gazelle and zebra species
abound throughout the park. Cheetah, leopard, and, less frequently, rhino are also common
sightings. The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature's few remaining wildlife spectacles,
takes place in the Mara from July to September, when big animals and their predators are
expected to be in abundance. The reserve is home to several species of Bee-Eater, the flying
rainbow that tops the list of Mara's birds.
Breakfast at the hotel, then drive to the Isebania border, where you will enter Tanzania and take
a game drive en route to the Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti National Park is the world's
last great wildlife refuge, home to an estimated three million large animals, the majority of
which participate in a seasonal migration that is considered one of nature's wonders. The
Serengeti National Park covers 14,763 square kilometers, and the name Serengeti is derived
from the Maasai word "Siringet," which means "endless plains." dinner and overnight stay at
A Lodge on a full-board basis
Breakfast early in the morning, then check out with a packed lunch for a full day of game drives
in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, which is without a doubt the best in the country. Because
of its abundance of resident animals, the Central Serengeti provides excellent game viewing all
year. The Seronera River Valley in the Central Serengeti, in particular, is a "must see" on any
safari, regardless of the month of travel. The dry season (June – November) is ideal for game
viewing in the Central Serengeti because resident animals are more concentrated in the
immediate area due to a lack of water on the plains. Impala, buffalo, hippo, warthog,
topi, Giraffes and hartebeests Lions and leopards are among the resident carnivores. Later in
the evening, return to a respective accommodation for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.
Set out for a full-day game in the Serengeti. For millions of years, the Serengeti's lush plains
have provided an ideal habitat for wildlife. This ancient ecosystem is still thriving, and herds
of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and giraffes can be seen grazing. This is one of the best places
on the planet to see lions napping in the shade. Also, leaping after a prey that has been marked
or gnawing off a portion of their prey. all meals and overnight in a respective
accommodation on a full-board basis
We will have a half-day game drive in the Serengeti today, followed by a drive to the
Ngorongoro Crater Rim after lunch. Within a one-hour game drive of Seronera, there are
several documented resident lion prides. During the dry season, resident prides begin to shift
west and north in their territories, concentrating in the park's central region. The dry season is
the best time to see lions in the Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of Africa's
best places to see the elusive leopard. You might be lucky enough to see this majestic cat in
the branches of the sausage trees that line the banks of the Seronera river. Dinner and overnight
at respective accommodation.
Breakfast, then drive to Ngorongoro Crater, where we descend into the crater with picnic lunch
boxes for a game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the world's eighth natural
wonder, is the world's largest intact crater. The Ngorongoro volcano erupted and its walls
collapsed about 2 million years ago. The volcano's floor sank, forming a natural enclosure with
600m-high walls. Ngorongoro Crater is now over 19 kilometers wide and home to vast swaths
of acacia forest, hippo-infested swamps, and open grasslands. Over 30,000 animals live in these
different ecosystems, including elephants, warthogs, flamingos, magnificent birdlife, the rare
black rhinoceros, and all predatory cats. Maasai cattle can also be seen grazing alongside
buffalo and wildebeest. Later in the afternoon, ascend from the crater and drive back to Arusha.
