Overview

This extended East African safari follows the dramatic path of the Great Wildebeest Migration, combining Kenya’s premier reserves with Tanzania’s iconic northern circuit before finishing with relaxation on Zanzibar’s pristine beaches. Guests explore Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Northern & Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park, and conclude in Nungwi, Zanzibar. Travel is in a private 4×4 Land Cruiser with pop-up roof and professional driver-guide, offering flexibility for photography and wildlife tracking. Carefully selected mid-range lodges and tented camps ensure comfort while keeping travelers close to nature. This itinerary is ideal for guests seeking Big Five encounters, river crossings, sweeping savannahs, volcanic landscapes, and a tropical island finale.

Itinerary

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, guests are warmly welcomed by their private safari guide and transferred to a comfortable hotel along Mombasa Road.

This first day is intentionally relaxed, allowing time to recover from international travel and settle into East Africa’s rhythm. Depending on arrival time, guests may enjoy dinner at the hotel or simply rest in preparation for the adventure ahead, which begins early the following morning.

After breakfast, depart Nairobi and drive into Kenya’s Great Rift Valley toward Lake Nakuru National Park, one of the country’s premier rhino sanctuaries.

Spend the entire day on game drives with picnic lunch inside the park. The landscape shifts between wooded escarpments, open grasslands, and the alkaline lakeshore, where flamingos often gather seasonally. Wildlife tours focus on tracking black and white rhinoceros, Rothschild’s giraffes, lions resting in acacia trees, buffalo herds, waterbucks, and countless bird species.

In the late afternoon, exit the park and transfer to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

Spend the entire day in the Northern Serengeti, one of Africa’s most thrilling migration zones.

Morning drives concentrate around the Mara River where crocodiles lurk at crossing points and massive columns of wildebeest hesitate before plunging into the water. Predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs patrol nearby plains, drawn by the abundance of prey.

Picnic lunch is enjoyed in the bush, maximizing time in this extraordinary ecosystem before continuing afternoon game drives and returning to camp for dinner.

Descend into the vast volcanic caldera for a full-day safari with picnic lunch on the crater floor. Home to roughly 30,000 large mammals year-round, the crater offers exceptional chances to see buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, lions, elephants, and the endangered black rhinoceros.

Continue with afternoon game drives through groundwater forests, open floodplains, and lakeshore habitats where elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, baboons, and countless bird species roam freely. Picnic lunch is enjoyed inside the park before further exploration.
