The biggest animal migration on the planet. The highest concentration of wildlife anywhere. This Hidden Treasure Africa Safaris’ 10-day adventure brings you up close to experience the biggest and best of Kenya and Tanzania Safaris.

From the natural wonder of the Masai Mara habitat with its thundering herds of wildebeest and zebra to the immense grasslands of the Serengeti populated with lions, leopards, elephants, and rhinos, the spectacle of this safari will leave you in awe.

You’ll journey to the world’s largest intact volcanic crater and visit a realm of wildlife few ever get the chance to see. So get ready for 10 full days of discovery and wonder as we venture out to meet the best of East Africa.

Our Journey Begins

We depart Nairobi for Amboseli National Park, where inspiring views of Mt. Kilimanjaro await, especially when the clouds clear revealing the snow-capped dome of Africa’s highest peak. The park is the best spot on the continent to view great herds of elephants. And like any self-respecting Kenyan reserve, there are lions, cheetahs, giraffes, and zebra to fill out your day and begin this amazing adventure.

Next, we’ll move to the azure waters of Lake Naivasha National Park, a pretty reserve where we’ll enjoy a sailing safari, gliding past the hippos.

Then, it’s on to the great savannahs of the Masai Mara Reserve. This world-famous habitat is known for spotting the Big Five – lion, leopard, black rhino, buffalo, and elephant. On these rolling plains, accented with their signature acacia trees, you’ll be greeted by these and the dozens of other species populating the vast Mara.

You’ll embark on unlimited game drives here. A highlight – a picnic lunch at the Mara River as you watch hippos and possibly crocodiles enjoy their lunch!

Into Tanzania

Then we cross the border to Tanzania and travel to perhaps the most populated wildlife refuge in the world, Serengeti National Park. You’ve seen its sweeping panoramas in movies – now’s your time to encounter this immense world-famous park. The treeless plains hold millions of wildebeest, zebra, eland, and, of course, the larger predators like lions, leopards, rhinos, and elephants.

On your game drives here you’ll also encounter gazelle, impala, waterbuck, klipspringer, plus monkey and baboon. These are the lands where the wildlife of the great migration first stir – you’ll be awed by their numbers.

Into the Volcano

Ngorongoro Crater is a wildlife habitat unto itself. Buckle up because you’re going to descend in your 4 x 4 to the crater floor and witness the incredible concentration of game that makes their home in this extinct volcano. There’s a high concentration of lions here as well as other large animals like the black rhino, Cape buffalo, and hippo. And be on the lookout for zebra, eland, and gazelle in this abundant ecosystem.

In the late afternoon, we’ll head back up the crater to catch an unforgettable sunset view… only to be matched the following morning with an equally spectacular sunrise at the rim.

Now we head to our last stop in Tanzania, a compact but impressive place of towering baobab trees, lion, and zebra – Tarangire National Park. You’ll have opportunities to view elephants on the plains and something you might not encounter anywhere else – an abundance of huge termite mounds. They’re big, bizarre, and very photogenic!

Finally, we’ll wrap up our ten-day adventure in the Tanzanian town of Arusha, bringing you to your hotel or the airport. Ten exciting days in East Africa’s two best countries for wildlife spotting. Ready to join us?
