Maasai Mara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari

Maasai Mara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro

 
11 nights / 12 days

The iconic Serengeti National Park, meaning “endless plains” in the Maasai language, is undoubtedly one of the world’s most celebrated wilderness areas and is an ongoing source of inspiration to writers, filmmakers, and photographers. It is Tanzania’s oldest game reserve, renowned as the site of the annual Great Migration when an estimated three million antelope – mostly wildebeest — migrate to Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve.

 

Trip Highlights: 

  • Giraffe Manor, Nairobi
  • Maasai Mara
  • Serengeti National Park
  • Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
 

Day 1: On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport you will be warmly welcomed by a member of the team, who will drive you to your hotel in vibrant Nairobi. Visits to Nairobi National Museum and an informative excursion to the Karen Blixen Museum are not to be missed. Surrounded by vast acres of indigenous forest, the elegant Giraffe Manor is famous for its resident herd of giraffe, which casually wanders around the hotel grounds. Beautifully furnished rooms include comfortable four-poster beds and well-appointed bathrooms

 

Day 2-3: You will be driven to Wilson Airport, where you will board a flight to Kichwa Airstrip in the Masai Mara. On arrival, you will be welcomed by a member of the team from Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp, who will drive you to the camp. You will experience the beauty of the Masai Mara on a hot air balloon flight. Take off at dawn and float in whichever direction the morning winds take you. The flight lasts about an hour and is followed by champagne and a full English breakfast. Game drives in the Masai Mara are unforgettable due to the abundance of wildlife and spectacular landscapes. These may last from a couple of hours to the whole day, with a picnic breakfast and lunch

Day 4-5: Depart the Masai Mara on a flight to Migori Airstrip, where you be welcomed and driven to Tarime, where you will cross the border into Tanzania to board another flight to the iconic Serengeti National Park. Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp is set in the remote Western Serengeti and offers one of the best wildlife experiences in this incredibly picturesque area, which enjoys far fewer tourist numbers than many other parts of the park. Enjoy sitting on your verandah at the camp situated on a by-water of the Grumeti River, known for its hippo residents in the tranquil pool in front of the camp and the spectacular pied colobus monkeys, found nowhere else in the Serengeti. Drives offer exclusive game viewing far from the crowds, with the open Western Serengeti plains attracting the elegant cheetah and large pride of lion, as well as clans of hyena that number up to a hundred individuals. The riverside thickets are the ideal dwelling place for leopard and elephant. This area also lies in the path of the annual movement of exceptional numbers of topi antelope. Take a full-day tour along the shoreline of Lake Victoria with the option to stop and learn about the work of the Africa Foundation project,  experience a safari in a traditional canoe, pay a visit to the traditional doctor, clap along to the rhythm as villagers perform a local dance or simply admire the magnificent landscapes

 

 

Day 6-7: Board a flight to Lobo Airstrip where you will be collected for a scenic game drive to Klein’s Camp. Klein’s Camp is situated on a private concession on the edge of the iconic Serengeti National Park, where night-drives and bush-walks allow guests to explore the nocturnal world of the predators or to get an intimate glimpse into the details of the African bush. We offer twice-daily game drives on the concession, with sunrise and sundowner stop. Professionally trained guides will ask you about your favourite wildlife and will do their very best to ensure that your preferences are met, whether it’s tracking a particular species or spending more time enjoying each sighting and getting to know the habits of each animal. The guides will also tell you about the vegetation of the region and will explain the behaviour of the animals that you come across. Go on a nature walk that allows you to experience Africa on foot, free from the constraints of roads and vehicles. Watch birds, explore a dry river bed, walk in the footsteps of zebra or giraffe, sit in stillness in the shade of an ancient tree, unravel the stories behind animal tracks or simply stretch your legs

Day 8-9: Drive back to the airstrip for a flight to Serengeti Under Canvas. The luxurious tented camps of Serengeti Under Canvas move around the park year-round, attempting to anticipate the movements of the Great Migration and exploring the remote and beautiful corners of the Serengeti with an excellent resident game. Go on a game drive: game drives are tailored to suit your preference, with a choice between shorter, twice-daily drives or one full-day game drive, with a stop for a picnic lunch. The game drives are carefully planned to anticipate the progress of the Great Migration, so you should not have to travel too far to see the vast herds. However, if the Migration has moved off, or the dramatic river crossings are in progress, you may choose to spend more time on the vehicle to maximize your chances of seeing this incredible phenomenon.

 

Day 10-11: Take a scheduled flight to Manyara Airstrip where you will be welcomed by a member of the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge team, who will drive you to the lodge. The Ngorongoro Crater in Northern Tanzania, once a gigantic volcano, is the largest intact caldera in the world. Some maintain that before it erupted, it would have been higher than Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. Go on a game drive to search for endangered black rhino, giant tusked elephants wander the forests, big-maned lions and flamingos which seasonally crowd the soda lakes. An estimated 25 000 large mammals are residents in this bowl of plenty, including a population of 16 highly endangered black rhino and around 70 lions. Cheetah moves in and out of the Crater, while the leopard is most often encountered in the spectacular Lerai Forest. Descend into the scenic landscape of the Ngorongoro Crater and enjoy the incredible density of wildlife.
