KENYA SUGESTED ITINERARIES

15 Day Kenya and Tanzania Wildlife and Cultural Safari

Our most comprehensive and perhaps the most popular safari we offer, is THE BEST OF KENYA AND TANZNIA SAFARI . A magnificent journey through Kenya and Tanzania, with luxuriously 2 night stays in each game park, abundant time for rich wildlife viewing sessions and five exhilarating flights to expedite travel from one game park to another.

Beginning the adventure in Nairobi , our accommodations are at either the luxurious Nairobi Serena Hotel or the legendary Norfolk Hotel. We begin our Journey into the bush with a flight to Amboseli National Park. Here we see abundant wildlife and the legendary Maasai tribesmen tending their cattle in the shadows of snow-topped Mount Kilimanjaro. After two nights we drive to Tarangire in Tanzania, a game park with thousands of majestic baobab trees dotting the rolling countryside. It is also home to enormous herds of elephants and the highest number of recorded bird species for any habitat in the world.

Our next journey is to the incomparable Ngorongoro Crater, a natural caldera spanning over 100 square miles. This stunning creation of nature is home to tens of thousands of animals, as well as numerous Maasai tribesmen and their cattle. We encounter rhino, elephant, buffalo, leopard and lion, as well as hippo, zebra and antelope. The stunning vistas combine with the drama of the world within the crater to take your breath away.

Then comes the vast expanse of the Serengeti. This legendary reserve supports large populations of lion, leopard and other predators that follow the great migrating herds. Hippo, elephant, giraffe and a wide variety of exotic birds are also in abundance. En route to the Serengeti we stop to tour the fossil beds at the Olduvai Gorge, made famous by the discoveries of Louis and Mary Leakey.

After two days in the Serengeti, we fly to the Africa of our dreams, the Maasai Mara in Kenya. Remarkable events are planned in this location. In addition to rich game drives, we will thrill to the romance of a bush cocktail party set high upon the Mara Escarpment at sunset. A Maasai village visit will also take place-always a memorable experience-and our nights are spent in the splendour of a luxury tented camp. And finally, the lovely Mount Kenya Safari Club on the slopes of majestic Mount Kenya. This private club is justly famous for its refinement and glamorous Hollywood history, considered one of the safari "musts" of East Africa.

The breadth and scope of the best of Kenya and Tanzania wing safari encompass everything for which East Africa is famous-the magnificent scenery, the breathtaking wildlife, the excitement and adventure. And all experienced at a leisurely, luxurious pace, creating warm memories to relive for a lifetime.
