Itinerary Description

This is our best East African safari combining both the Masai Mara National Reserve and the Serengeti. You are driving and flying as we have included scheduled flights between some parks to eliminate backtracking great distances by road. This safari really highlights the best parks of Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania. You should have the opportunity to see the Big 5. In Tanzania you will have a PRIVATE guide and your own vehicle which allows you to dictate the schedule and pace of each day. At each of the accommodations you will meet up with other travelers. In Kenya it is based on group game viewing activities with resident guides.

Naturalist Guides in Tanzania - Our carefully selected group of naturalist guides bring an excellent knowledge of the areas you will visit and have built up an excellent camaraderie with our clients over the years. As you spend several days with the same guide, you maximize seeing and doing “everything” and come away at the end of a trip with “a friend for life”. The naturalist guides that may lead your trip include Hillary Mandia, Ephata Loitashu and Emmanuel Mkenda.
