8 Days 7 Nights Kenya and Tanzania Combined Safari Package

The Masai Mara consistently leaves a lasting impression with its impressive array – boasting 95 mammal species, encompassing Africa's entire "Big Five," multiple lion prides, and the Great Migration's vast wildebeest herds.

Beyond the Mara River and across the Tanzanian border, the expansive Serengeti serves as the breeding ground for countless grazers, exhibiting a breathtaking spectacle of herding, calving, and filling the immense plains with their staggering numbers.

Describing the Ngorongoro Crater as unique would be an understatement – it stands as the world's largest intact volcanic crater. What's even more awe-inspiring is the diverse and densely populated wildlife that thrives in this blue/green expanse. Every conceivable species, from lions to flamingoes, calls this region home.

Our safari concludes at the picturesque Tarangire Park, where abundant elephants and other notable big game await – a fitting conclusion to this incredibly comprehensive two-country African safari vacation.
