8-Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari – Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Manyara

Your Kenya and Tanzania Safari begins with an early morning pick-up in Nairobi.

This leg of your Kenya and Tanzania Safari offers excellent opportunities to spot the Big Five, cheetahs, giraffes, and large herds of herbivores. Stop at the Mara River, home to hippos and crocodiles, and a key crossing point during the Great Migration. After a day filled with incredible sightings and landscapes, return to the lodge for dinner, optional activities, and overnight.
