7 Days Amboseli, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, Kenya and Tanzania combined safari

Arrive in Nairobi, the bustling capital of Kenya, known for its vibrant culture and commitment to wildlife conservation. After checking into your hotel, spend the afternoon at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where you can observe orphaned elephants being fed and learn about elephant conservation efforts. Elephants have a highly developed social structure and communicate using infrasound, which allows them to stay connected over long distances. In the evening, enjoy a delicious dinner at a local restaurant, sampling traditional Kenyan dishes like ugali and nyama choma. Overnight stay in Nairobi will prepare you for the adventure ahead.

After an early breakfast, depart Nairobi for Amboseli National Park, famed for its large elephant herds and breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. Upon arrival, check in at your lodge, where you can relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. Amboseli is home to around 1,500 elephants, including impressive “tuskers” with exceptionally large tusks. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive to spot wildlife, including lions lounging in the shade and zebras grazing on the plains. With over 600 bird species recorded, keep your eyes peeled for colorful avian life. After a full day of exploring, return to your lodge for dinner and a restful night.

Start your day with an early morning game drive when wildlife is most active. Look for the iconic African lion, often referred to as the "king of the jungle," and enjoy the peace of the landscape as the sun rises. After breakfast, visit a Masai village to immerse yourself in the local culture and traditions. The Masai are known for their vibrant attire and herding lifestyle, often keeping cattle, goats, and sheep. In the evening, head out for another game drive, where you may encounter the endangered African wild dog. Return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, reflecting on the incredible wildlife experiences of the day.

After breakfast, leave Amboseli behind and journey to the border crossing into Tanzania. Enjoy the scenic landscapes along the way, which showcase the beauty of both countries. Arrive in Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its expansive savannahs and the Great Migration. Check in at your lodge or camp and prepare for an afternoon game drive. The Serengeti is home to the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros) and offers opportunities to see cheetahs, the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds up to 75 mph. After a thrilling day, return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Today begins with an early morning game drive to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the plains, a perfect backdrop for spotting predators like lions and leopards. Following a hearty breakfast, spend the afternoon relaxing at your lodge or participating in a guided nature walk to learn about the park's diverse ecosystems. In the evening, embark on another game drive. The Serengeti is famous for its rich wildlife, including hippos in the rivers and various antelope species. After an exhilarating day, enjoy dinner and an overnight stay in the Serengeti.

Prepare for a full day of adventure in the Serengeti. This park hosts one of the most amazing wildlife events: the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebra traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing. Enjoy a packed lunch amidst the stunning landscapes as you continue your wildlife viewing. Throughout the day, you may spot giraffes, elephants, and a variety of birds. As the sun sets, return to your lodge for dinner, and take the opportunity to look for nocturnal wildlife like serval cats and bushbabies on your way back. Overnight stay in the Serengeti will conclude another unforgettable day.

On your final day, depart the Serengeti and head to the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest inactive volcanic caldera. After descending into the crater, enjoy a game drive in this UNESCO World Heritage site, which is home to a rich diversity of wildlife, including the rare black rhino. The crater's unique ecosystem supports a dense animal population, making sightings frequent and rewarding. After exploring the crater, exit and journey to Arusha, where you can reflect on your incredible safari experiences over a farewell dinner. This marks the end of your unforgettable wildlife adventure through Kenya and Tanzania.
