From the open plains of the Masai Mara, the waters of Lake Nakuru, the swamps of Amboseli, to the views of Mount Kilimanjaro’s snowy peaks, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, this adventurous safari explores the ultimate big-game areas of Kenya and Tanzania. It therefore provides the perfect opportunity to spot the Big Five and compare some of Africa’s most diverse scenery.
Extend your amazing East African safari, by adding an optional excursion to the “Spice Island” of Zanzibar, with its trading and plundering history and miles of sandy white beaches.
