9 Parks, 2 Countries: The Ultimate Kenya-Tanzania Safari
The most comprehensive safari we offer - Amboseli's great tuskers, Aberdare's tree hotels, Samburu's unique species, Ol Pejeta's rhinos and chimps, Lake Naivasha's sailing safari, the Masai Mara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire.
The most comprehensive safari we offer
This is the most comprehensive African safari we offer to the finest wildlife parks and reserves of Kenya and Tanzania. Headline names like the Masai Mara and Serengeti are joined by treasures like Amboseli's great-tusker elephants, the world's largest volcanic caldera at Ngorongoro, and the elusive rhinos and chimps of Ol Pejeta Conservancy.
Going upcountry to Aberdare's cool mountain forests and a night in a forest treehouse, then the dry rugged beauty of Samburu, home to the unique Samburu Five, before Lake Naivasha's sailing safari and Kenya's crown jewel, the Masai Mara - and on into Tanzania for the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire (or Lake Manyara).
