Ready to become a very experienced safari-goer? Let us introduce you to the magic and wonders of this immersive two-week African safari.
Let’s Begin Your Adventure
You’ll have plenty of time to explore each of these parks on this easy-paced journey. We will start our safari in style at the world-famous Masai Mara Reserve, home to great pride of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and more than 95 other mammal species.
It is also home to the Great Migration, the largest movement of animals on the planet. Up to two million wildebeests, zebra, and gazelle storm into the Mara, coming from the Serengeti, in their timeless quest for food and water. Waiting for them – all the park’s predators, from crocodiles to lions to cheetahs and hyenas.
We’ll next cross into Tanzania and come upon the world’s greatest tropical body of water. Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the second-largest freshwater lake at 68,000 sq km – bigger than some countries. The birdlife here, at this source of the Nile River, is rich, varied, and colorful.
Then we’ll visit the birthplace of all those marauding grazers at the Masai Mara, the great Serengeti Park. This is the home of over 3,000 lions and more than 7,000 elephants! And the wildebeest population here can number into the millions.
Deeper Into Tanzania
Our next stop will land us at the largest intact volcanic caldera on the planet, the Ngorongoro Crater. This unique depression in the earth’s surface is home to over 25,000 animals, all living in a green world of woodlands, plains, and marshes. We’ll go down to the crater floor to discover lions, rhinos, wildebeests, eland, gazelle, pink flamingoes, and much more.
Tarangire and Lake Manyara Parks are not as well known but that just means fewer tourists and more of the parks to yourself. Tarangire is home to its small migration of about 250,000 animals. Lake Manyara is a park jewel with acacia trees adorning the pretty lake. And looking up above, you just might spot the park’s very unique tree-climbing lions.
We Journey Back to Kenya
On day ten, we’ll cross back to Kenya with the eye-pleasing vista of Mt. Kilimanjaro welcoming us. At the base of Africa’s tallest peak, we will come upon the active fields of Amboseli National Park, home to so many elephants that you are guaranteed to enjoy multiple sightings of these wonderful pachyderms.
Then we’re off to the legendary Tsavo Parks, east and west. Tsavo West holds many surprises like Mzima Springs, a verdant oasis filled with lush greenery and palm-lined shores teeming with hippos and crocodiles.
Sister park Tsavo East is home to another unique species of lions whose males have a ferocious reputation and also sport unusual short manes. The vast stretches here glisten with red oxide soil, in which the big elephants like to roll and give themselves a rouge makeover.
