1 Week Safari Tanzania & Kenya
Kenya and Tanzania are both well-known for being great places to go on vacation. But you won’t have to choose which of these East African countries to visit for your safari with our Full-Week 2-country tour. You’ll enjoy both – captivating Amboseli Park in Kenya with its multitudes of big tuskers and Tanzania’s Serengeti with its unending fields alive with the big cats.
Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most unique landforms on our planet – it’s the largest intact volcanic crater, hosting its own world of concentrated wildlife. And the party of thousands of bright pink flamingos at Lake Manyara National Park will be stunning.
This very detailed 7-day safari starts in Nairobi and goes to Amboseli, which is at the base of the beautiful, snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro. Then, we’ll journey to Tanzania, exploring the wonders at Lake Manyara and stopping at Olduvai Gorge, the finest kept site of pre-historic man.
Serengeti and Ngorongoro will follow and thrill with their dense concentrations of the big game – lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalo, elephants, and hundreds of more species that will wrap you in a total safari experience.
What’s Cool About These Parks?
One of the most well-known parks in Kenya is Amboseli. Why? It could be the almost limitless herds of elephants parading by the scenic frame of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Or, perhaps it’s the large game that’s so abundant in this small but active park.
Along the lake’s edge, pelicans, flamingos, and other colorful birds make the area truly alive. But what makes the park even more unique is the cats that can climb trees like crazy. And don’t miss the baboons!
Do you know about the Serengeti? It’s one of the most well-known wildlife parks in Africa, and the sheer number of animals that live on its huge plains may be overwhelming. There are more than 3,000 lions, as well as many wildebeest, zebras, hyenas, wolves, baboons, and monkeys.
As you stand at the crater’s rim at Ngorongoro and take in the immense green world stretching out to the distance, you’ll know this safari day is going to be special. In your 4 x 4 Jeep, you’ll lower the crater’s walls to enter an environment dense with wildlife – lions, rhino, buffalo, zebra, eland, hippo, and even pink flamingoes near and in the crater’s lakes.
The Extras
You may be able to enjoy extras like a breakfast, lunch, or dinner in the bush, traditional dances around the boma, massages, aromatherapy, Ayurveda, special diet menus, dinner at a Maasai farm, game walks, a view of a natural watering hole, and more.
