Tour Overview
If you could only take one safari in your lifetime, this would be it. The Kenya Tanzania Combined Safari threads together four of East Africa's crown jewels into a seamless 10-day journey that showcases the full diversity of the region's wildlife and landscapes.
Kenya delivers elephant beneath Kilimanjaro in Amboseli and the Big Five on the Maasai Mara plains. Tanzania provides the geological wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater — a natural amphitheatre holding the world's densest population of large mammals — and the endless plains of the Serengeti, where the Great Migration plays out year-round in different chapters.
Cross-border logistics, border crossing fees, all park entry permits for both countries, full-board accommodation and expert bilingual guides are fully included. The tour operates on a private basis or in a small group of no more than eight guests.
