This is our grand introduction to East Africa, to the classic safaris of literature and legend. You'll begin in Nairobi and make your way first to Lake Nakuru and then to the famed Masai Mara where you'll track the Big Five with your Masai guides. Then it's across the border into Tanzania to the vast grasslands of the Serengeti (in Masai "the place where the land moves on for ever"). There's spectacular game viewing here and you'll spend a leisurely three days tracking and photographing. At Ngorongoro Crater, you can expect to find elephants, hippos and lions and possibly spot the rare black rhino. We'll delve into the Great Rift Valley and the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro to round out the breathtaking sights on this safari.
You will travel in a seven passenger pop-top safari vehicle with your private safari leader. With this smaller vehicle and small numbers, everyone has a window seat and your driver can detour quickly to get to sightings and places larger vehicles can't reach. You'll be off on game drives every day in the parks and moving from one park to the other. Accommodations are in lodges chosen for location and incredible views. You can choose to travel during the period of the great wildebeest migrations but, as one of our recent travellers who was with us in the "low season" told us, "I can't imagine there could be any more animals than this!" |

Our participants say...
...many times I have re-lived our wonderful experience in Kenya and Tanzania. We realized even during our safari, and more so since our return, how invaluable our Tour Guide, Shaibu, was. His knowledge of everything from the animals to birds to trees to shrubs plus what roads to take - or stay away from, or go around. From start to finish - we couldn't have been more pleased with our safari.
