Great Migration of Serengeti and Maasai Mara Luxury 15 Days

On your arrival at Jommo Kenyatta International Airport a member of our staff will meet you and then be transferred to Norfolk Hotel BB

Today in the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel in Nairobi for your transfer to Amboseli. You’ll arrive in time for lunch at your lodge. In the afternoon you will take your first game drive.
Dinner and overnight at Tawi Lodge
Amboseli is one of the most scenic game reserves in Kenya, the grassy Savannah, rolling hills and picturesque acacia trees set against the magnificent backdrop of snow-capped Mouth Kilimanjaro, just over the border in Tanzania. The park is particularly famous for its large herds of elephant which can be seen ambling across the plains. There is also an abundance of other big game; this is classic safari country.

Full day to explore Amboseli National Park. You can either take an early morning and late afternoon game drive and return to your accommodation for time to relax during the middle of the day, or alternatively you can spend the full day out on game drives, taking a picnic lunch with you.
Overnight at Tawi Lodge

Today after breakfast you will drive to Kenya / Tanzania border at Namanga where you will exchange vehicles and proceed on to Tanzania. You will arrive in Arusha town for lunch. In the afternoon you will proceed with a drive to Tarangire National park. Here you will stay in a tented camp in a beautiful location with views across the plains. Dinner and overnight at Tarangire Treetops.

This morning start early for a safari in Tarangire National Park. The park is cut through by the Tarangire River which proves a magnet for all manner of wildlife during the long dry season when the surrounding area becomes completely parched. During the wet season the wildlife is more scattered but you are still almost guaranteed sightings of Tarangire’s extensive elephant population. Large herds roam the riverbed whilst zebra, buffalo, gazelle and wildebeest try to avoid the predatory advances of lion and leopard. There is also a remarkable profusion of bird life as the Tarangire swamps are home to 550 bird varieties including many rare species.
This is perhaps the most scenic of all of Tanzania’s parks, with very varied scenery dotted with huge baobab trees. You can stay in the park as long as you want, before returning to the same camp for a second night.

This morning you will drive to the small village of Mto Wa Mbu, at the base of the Rift Valley Escarpment. The town is surrounded by endless banana plantations and rice paddies. Here you will meet a local guide and collect your bikes and will head out for a guided bike excursion through the plantations and Lake shore. The route is very scenic, passing along quiet roads and paths and through small villages. You will stop at the main produce market in Mto Wa Mbu and there is also the chance to stop at a school if of interest. The bike ride will end at a local village house where you will enjoy a traditional Tanzanian lunch. In the afternoon you will continue on to Karatu for the night at The Retreat Ngorongoro FB

This morning after a leisurely breakfast, you will head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend 2000feet to the Crater floor for game viewing taking packed lunch with you. You will explore the Ngorongoro Crater, an ancient volcanic crater that is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife including a very dense population of lion and spotted hyena. You are almost guaranteed to see all of the ‘big five’ (lion, rhino, leopard, elephant and buffalo) as well as a great variety of other species.
The views are superb, from the first glimpse of the crater at ‘Heroes’ Point’, through the thick rain forest that covers its sides, down to the rich grassy plains that form its centre. The combination of natural scenery and wildlife is truly breath-taking. Dinner and overnight at Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp FB

An exciting morning today as you experience a guided crater rim walk. Once you have finished the walk, you will continue by road to the Serengeti National park. After taking a picnic lunch you will proceed with afternoon of game viewing. Dinner and overnight at Kubu Kubu Tented Camp FB

Two full days to explore the Serengeti on game drives.
The Serengeti National Park is the jewel in the crown of Tanzania’s game parks and offers arguably the best game viewing in Africa. The setting is perfect – a sea of endless plains that stretches to the horizon, dotted with the occasional acacia tree and termite mound. This savannah is home to huge herds of buffalo that every year make the mass migration north, through crocodile infested rivers, in a frenzied mixture of mating and galloping that is driven by instinct. Prides of lion rule here, their hungry gaze sweeping the savannah for a chance to attack the thousands of eland, impala and gazelle. Solitary leopard stake out their place in the high branches of the acacia tree and herds of elephants roam at will. This is the Africa that you have always dreamed about.
Meals and overnight at Lemala Kuria Hills Camp FB

After breakfast you will set off for the Masai Mara with packed lunches, crossing the border of Tanzania and Kenya after exchanging vehicles at the Sirari border. When you arrive, you will enter the Masai Mara Reserve and will enjoy a game drive en route to your lodge. Dinner and overnight at Neptune Mara Rianta Luxury Tented Camp FB

You have two full days of game drives.
The Masai Mara is one of the finest game reserves in Africa, its rolling green plains and woodlands densely packed with a remarkable array of wildlife. All of the ‘big 5’ can be found here. Lions are in abundance throughout the park and you may be lucky enough seeing a pride stalking their prey or perhaps a leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree. Elephant, giraffe, zebra and gazelle dot the plains together with a wide range of smaller species. Rhino are more difficult to find but you may be lucky; game viewing here is a constant surprise and delight. The scenery is also magnificent with endless plains, picturesque acacia trees and the spectacular Siria escarpment looming to the west. All meals and overnight at Neptune Mara Rianta Luxury Tented Camp FB

This morning you will leave the Masai Mara behind en route for Nairobi with packed lunches.
Dinner and overnight at Norfolk Hotel BB
