10-Day Mid-Range Kenya & Tanzania Treasures Discover Tour

You'll have an early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and attendant predators. You will arrive in time for lunch and then have an afternoon game drive.

It's time for you to explore Amboseli National Park, which is one of Kenya's best parks. While you're here, you'll be unable to take your eyes off Mt Kilimanjaro (5895m): Africa's highest mountain might be in Tanzania, but the best views of the mountain are from Amboseli. It's a fantastic park for wildlife too. There aren't many places in Kenya where you can get this close to elephants, and the park is also good for lions, cheetahs, spotted hyenas, wildebeest, giraffes, and more. Every time the clouds clear on the mountain's summit, you'll want to line up a photo of these animals with Mt Kilimanjaro in the background.

The famous Serengeti National Park is home to the great migration. The game drives are spectacular, as you drive up the crater highlands, stopping at the rim. Spreading out is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili. This 6,900sq miles (18,000sq km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. There are also large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax or monkeys also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds. On the second day, after breakfast, you'll have a full day in Serengeti National Park (morning and afternoon game drives). There is a possibility to visit Olduvai Gorge and have a balloon flight.

With walls 2,000ft high and a crater floor that spreads for 102sq miles, the crater is inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhino. The crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet. It contains a river, and several swamps, from the top it looks like steam, full of flamingoes, a forest, and open plains. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses.
