Overnight: Maasai Mara National Reserve Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
A full-day safari inside the reserve will bring you into a true Animal Kingdom. You may find herds of wildebeest eating grass at leisure, a leopard's head appearing in the grass, an elephant family splashed by the river, and so on. Just keep an eye out for the grounds, trees, and shrubs ahead of you.
Overnight: Nairobi Meal: Breakfast

Overnight: Lake Manyara Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
After breakfast, transfer to Namanga Border Town to clear customs and immigration formalities. Meet your tour guide in Tanzania and then proceed to Arusha Town for lunch. Later, drive another two hours to your lodge in the Lake Manyara Area.
Overnight: Serengeti National Park Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Overnight: Serengeti National Park Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
A full-day safari within the park will provide you with a unique experience not found in the Maasai Mara. Despite being part of the Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem, the Serengeti is larger and less visited, with more diverse landscapes and habitats.
Overnight: Ngorongoro Conservation Area Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Get up for the final morning game viewing drive, followed by lunch at the lodge. Afterward, head to Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area for the night. Stop along the way to see the Olduvai Gorge, a rich archaeological site where the earliest known evidence of the human species is said to have been discovered.
Overnight: Ngorongoro Conservation Area Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ngorongoro Crater, formed around two and a half million years ago when large volcanoes erupted and collapsed on their own, is now "the Garden of Eden" for approximately 30,000 animals. It i...
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Embark on the 4-hour drive back to Arusha for lunch. Afterward, transfer to the airport for your departure flight. Time to say goodbye to Africa.
