7-Days Serengeti and Masai Mara

Welcome to Tanzania! Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be received by our representative(s) who will drive you to Arusha city, where you will check into your accommodation and spend the night.

After breakfast, depart from Arusha for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The area is part of the Man and Biosphere program by UNESCO because it is the only place on earth where wildlife and humans co-exist and live in harmony.

Upon arrival, descend into the crater floor and begin your crater tour, exploring one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Crater is a world heritage site and the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and is commonly referred to as the 8th wonder of the world.

The 2,000-foot-high walls of the approximately 10-mile-wide crater create a natural amphitheater for the densest populations of large animals anywhere in the world. With a resident population of over 25,000mammals, you are sure to be overwhelmed by the abundance of wildlife that exists within thecrater.

The Ngorongoro Crater is a microcosm of the African safari experience, and in one day, it is possible to see a staggering array of wildlife, including all the big carnivores. Later in the afternoon, ascend from the crater floor and drive to your lodge for the night.

Early morning after breakfast, enjoy a game drive en route to Serengeti National Park. As you drive to Serengeti National Park, visit one Maasai boma located on the way to Serengeti. A Maasai boma is a traditional homestead that showcases the cultures of various Maasai ethnic groups. While here, you will learn about Maasai culture, see traditional dwellings, watch cultural performances, and interact with the Maasai people.

Later on, proceed with your transfer game drive to Serengeti National Park. Serengeti is perhaps most well-known for the annual migration that takes place across the great Savannah plains. This region is also hailed as the best place to see predators, particularly lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

You might even see Simba Kopje/Simba Rock, the place that inspired Pride Rock in the Disney film, The Lion King. Enjoy your lunch at a picnic site and later continue with the afternoon game drives until late afternoon, when you will return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Enjoy your delicious Breakfast and check out of your accommodation. You will do a game drive en route to Ndutu or Seronera airstrip for your scheduled flight to the Masai Mara. On arrival in the Masai Mara in Kenya, check into your accommodation, have lunch, and later in the afternoon, enjoy a short evening game drive before returning to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

After an early breakfast, head out on a game drive like no other. The Masai Mara is a famous wildlife habitat because of its bountiful array of wildlife. It comprises almost all of Africa’s most iconic animals, lions, buffalo, Nile crocodiles, cheetahs, wildebeests, Maasai giraffes, and many more!

After your game drive, take a break to enjoy your packed lunch, and visit a Maasai village/manyatta to learn about their culture and tradition. Do carry a bit of cash on you so you can purchase some of their handmade traditional items. This is also a great way to support their community. After this, continue with the game drive to see more of the abundant wildlife. Return to your accommodation, have dinner, and spend the night.

This is your last day in the Masai Mara. After breakfast, drive back to Nairobi, check into your hotel, and spend the rest of your evening at leisure.

After a delicious breakfast, embark on some adventures within the city. Visit the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, also known as the elephant nursery/orphanage, feed some giraffes at the giraffe center, and even go game viewing in Nairobi National Park. After this exciting day, your driver will take you to the airport to catch your flight back home.
