Day-wise Itinerary
ExpandDay 1: Arrive In Nairobi, Kenya.
Welcome to Africa! Arrive this evening, check in to your hotel, and prepare for your safari adventure!
Day 2: Nairobi, Maasai Mara National Reserve.
This morning, depart for Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya's most famous game area. After lunch at your lodge, set out on your first game drive in search of the Big 5; lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and Cape buffalo. (B,L,D)
Day 3: Maasai Mara.
Today, enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in the Mara, as it is called by locals. Part of the Serengeti ecosystem, the reserve boasts a strong permanent population of game. When the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra arrives the population enlarges by almost 2 million. This provides a great food source for predators such as lion, cheetah, leopard, and hyena. (B,L,D)
Day 4: Maasai Mara, Nairobi, Amboseli National Park Area.
Today, board a plane for the quick flight to Nairobi. After a short break, drive to Amboseli National Park, best known for spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa at some 19,341 feet. Embark on an afternoon game drive before settling in at your lodge. (B,L,D)
Day 5: Amboseli Area.
Morning and afternoon game drives offer you a great opportunity to get close to the mighty elephant. You might also spot Cape buffalo, zebra, wild dog, and more. During the heat of the day, relax at your lodge. (B,L,D)
Day 6: Amboseli Area, Arusha, Lake Manyara National Park Area.
This morning, cross the border into Tanzania. After lunch in Arusha, proceed to your camp overlooking Lake Manyara. (B,L,D)
Day 7: Lake Manyara Area, Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Lake Manyara National Park is a small, ecologically diverse park with groundwater forests, grassy plains, and alkaline Lake Manyara itself. The park is also home to the world's largest concentration of baboon. Watch for these mischievous primates, giraffe, hippo, and more on your morning game drive. Then, journey to your lodge and enjoy some time at leisure this afternoon. (B,L,D)
Day 8: Ngorongoro Area.
Descend into the crater for a full-day game drive. Ngorongoro Crater is technically a caldera; the world's largest unflooded one, in fact, at more than 2,000 feet deep with a floor covering over 102 square miles. Game viewing here is fantastic, as most of the animals stay in this area year round. You can see lion, Cape buffalo, hippo, elephant, and flamingo. This is also your best chance to see the rare black rhinoceros. A picnic lunch will be served in the crater. (B,L,D)
Day 9: Ngorongoro Area, Serengeti National Park Area.
Today, drive to Serengeti National Park, Tanzania's largest and most famous park. Home to the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra, it attracts visitors from around the world and is great for game viewing year round. Enjoy lunch at your lodge before an afternoon game drive. (B,L,D)
Day 10: Serengeti.
The Serengeti covers an area of roughly 5,700 square miles, so it is no surprise that the name comes from the Maasai word siringit, meaning endless plains. Continue your exploration during morning and afternoon game drives. You have the chance to see the big cats; lion, leopard, and cheetahâ; as well as an abundance of other animals, including the Nile crocodile, giraffe, gazelle, and eland. (B,L,D)
Day 11: Serengeti, Arusha.
Fly back to Arusha and transfer to the Mount Meru Hotel, where a day room has been reserved for your use. Schedule departing flights after 5 pm. (B)
