Kenya & Tanzania Safari

You arrive at Jomo Kenyatta airport where you are met by our representative and transferred to the luxury hotel, located in the suburb of Karen. Time at leisure, dinner and breakfast are included. Depending on your time of arrival, we can include optional excursions, such a visit to Scheldrick's Elephant Orphanage, or The Giraffe Centre, or a local market. Or simply enjoy the property's garden and pool to relax after the international flight and prepare for your safari.

Transfer to Wilson airport for the short flight to Amboseli and transfer to the luxury Angama Amboseli Lodge. The lodge is located in the heart of Kimana Sanctuary, renowned for its lush landscape and remarkable density of wildlife — along with its famed backdrop, Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. Set within a fever tree forest where some of Africa’s last Super Tuskers roam ­— elephants with tusks so large they drag along the ground as they walk. The highlight of this super luxury camp is the views (weather permitting). The suites are orientated so that Mount Kilimanjaro can be seen from nearly every corner, with floor-to-ceiling screen doors that are all that lies between you and the mountain.

Fly to the Masai Mara and spend 2 nights at the luxury Rekero Camp, located next to the Talek River. If you travel during the Great Migration season (between late July to September), you might be lucky to witness the herds crossing the area. This is an ecosystem of vast grasslands prowled by cheetah, peppered with acacia thickets in which leopards lurk, and divided by the Mara, Sand and Talek rivers.

The Masai Mara is a big cat territory, with healthy populations of lion, leopard and cheetah. There are elephant, buffalo and rhino, completing the Big 5, plus nearly 500 recorded bird species to spot. You will enjoy some amazing wildlife viewing, and delicious meals.

You will be transferred by road, through the bush and local villages to the nearby Naboisho Conservancy. Arrive for lunch at the luxury Naboisho Camp and relax before the afternoon game drive. The stay at Naboisho is extended to allow you to appreciate this wonderful conservancy and take some time to disconnect from busy game viewing schedule. We have included 1x walking safari and you can also take part in the scheduled night drives.

A stay at Naboisho goes beyond the usual game drives. Explore the Mara on foot, keep your eyes peeled on a night drive or spend an unforgettable night camping in the bush for a real safari adventure. With 266 species of birds to spot, there are also ample birdwatching opportunities.

Spot wildlife from the lounge and dining area or whilst you relax in the swimming pool, and dine with the sights and sounds of the bush as your entertainment,  be it the whoops of hyenas at night or the fluttering of weaver birds in the morning.

Last morning in the Mara before the transfer to the airstrip and your flight to Wilson, connecting to Kilimanjaro. Arrive at the airport, meet our representative for the road transfer to the luxury guest house, located in a quiet residing suburb. There is a lovely garden and swimming pool, and we have included dinner at the property.

After breakfast, transfer to nearby Arusha airport for the short flight hop to Tarangire National Park. You will be met by the camp's safari guide and enjoy a meandering game drive on the way to the camp, that is located in the South of the Park, away from the busier area.

In addition of the game drives, we have included 1 night drive and 1 walking safari during your stay. Throughout the year, Tarangire is home to large herds of elephants and buffalo and a high concentration of big cats. There are also animals such as wild dogs, kudu, oryx and gerenuks that won’t be found in the north of Tanzania. And for birders, there are more than 550 species, many of which are attracted to the park’s swamps.

Back at camp, your private deck is the perfect place to sit with a cold drink and enjoy the stillness and serenity of the African bush.

After breakfast, game drive back to the airstrip and the short flight to Lake Manyara airstrip. You will be met and transferred to Gibb's Farm. Your stay includes your meals, the selected in-house activities at Gibb's and we have included a full day game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater. The Crater boasts approximately 25 000 large animals and has one of the densest populations of lions anywhere in Tanzania. You will be collected from the farm early in the morning in closed safari vehicle with a pop-up roof for 360° views.

Back at Gibb's where you will be encouraged to immerse in the rhythms of the farm and enjoy a sense of tranquility and well-being. Awaken to the sound of bird call and while-away the days sipping on freshly roasted coffee grown on the farm.

Healthy, farm cuisine prepared fresh daily by attentive, gracious hands is the essence of the food philosophy at Gibb's. Organic farm-to-table dining inspires the senses and ignites the soul to restore and replenish your well-being. All the fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs are picked from the organic gardens and meat is sourced from local, sustainably-raised farms

After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for the flight to the North of the Serengeti. This area has amazing wildlife all year long, and typically receives the migrating herds from end of June to September, depending on the weather pattern.

Once the migrating herds have travelled back to the southern Serengeti in December, you can experience much more privacy with fewer tourists and vehicles around the national park. This is the period of time when safari veterans like to visit and enjoy having these vast plains to themselves. There is still have plenty of wildlife around, including lions and cheetahs. You might see elephants and rhinos and even leopards lurking in the riverine forests.

Back at camp, Sayari’s rim-flow pool is set between natural rock formations for guests to cool off in while watching elephants or zebras ambling past camp. After a dip, treat yourself to a beer at the Serengeti’s first solar-powered microbrewery before an afternoon game drive and sundowners around the campfire.

Last day in the bush, breakfast at camp before the transfer to the airstrip and the flight to Arusha airport. You are met and transferred through a meandering drive to Rivertrees, where we have a day room for you until it is time to check in for your international flight and we will transfer you to JRO Kilimanjaro airport.
