Day by day

Day 1

Arrive Nairobi, Kenya

Arrive in Nairobi, a microcosm of the African continent and the capital of Kenya. It serves as your gateway to a dramatic procession of natural spectacles here and in Tanzania, two of the most thrilling destinations in the world.

Day 2

Amboseli National Park – At the Foot of Kilimanjaro

Fly to Amboseli National Park, home to prolific herds of elephants. Spanning 150 square miles of Kenyan savanna, woodlands, wetlands and ephemeral lakebed — with Mount Kilimanjaro’s distinctive profile as its centerpiece — this iconic park also harbors giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, lions and hundreds of bird species.

Day 3

Amboseli National Park – A Full Day in the Bush

Watch elephants up close and view other game such as Cape buffalo, wildebeest, hippos and hyenas. After lunch back in camp, head out again to seek out more of East Africa’s natural wonders.

Day 4

Tarangire National Park, Tanzania – Outstanding Game Viewing

After crossing the border into Tanzania and stopping for lunch in Arusha, fly to Tarangire National Park and settle into your luxurious accommodations. Set among vast, baobab-lined savannas, the park boasts a large population of elephants. Life here revolves around the Tarangire River, which draws large concentrations of wildlife — a cornucopia for safari enthusiasts and birdwatchers alike.

Day 5

Tarangire National Park – Into the Wild

Embark on morning and afternoon game drives to explore Tarangire National Park and its stunning concentration of animals — herds of elephant, impalas and zebra. Look, too, for pythons and the twitching tail of a leopard hiding in high branches. Optional activities available at an additional cost include a walking safari or, as dusk falls, a night safari, to search for nocturnal animals rarely seen

Day 6

Ngorongoro Crater – Authentic Village Life

Learn how Tanzanians live today, exploring a local village, strolling the local market to see the colorful produce on display. Afterward, head to your restful lodge, set near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, for lunch. Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken ancient caldera in the world and a likely place to view lions, elephants, hyenas and gazelles.

Day 7

Ngorongoro Crater – Wildlife-Rich Haven

Descend into Ngorongoro Crater to explore the panoramic, game-rich prairies of this ancient volcanic caldera. With its crater walls nearly 2,000 feet high, Ngorongoro offers the safari experience of a lifetime. Observe profuse and diverse wildlife roaming freely in an authentic “Lost World,” where it’s possible to encounter every member of the Big Five in a single day. Enjoy a picnic lunch in this

Day 8

Serengeti National Park – Ever-Changing Spectacle of Untamed Africa

Fly to Serengeti National Park, a vast Tanzanian landscape that during part of the year hosts one of earth’s greatest wildlife spectacles: the annual Great Migration. Over the next three days, immerse yourself in this incredible setting, with camera at the ready for flash encounters with the circle of life, such as a cheetah bolting after its agile prey.

Day 9

Serengeti National Park – On the Endless Plains

Spanning some 10,000 square miles of rolling, golden grassland, the Serengeti supports one of the largest concentrations of wildlife in the world, including antelopes, hyenas, leopards, giraffes, lions and buffalo, any of which may reveal themselves on morning and afternoon game drives.

Day 10

Serengeti National Park – Further Exploring the Serengeti

Immerse yourself once more in this incredible setting, alternating between expert-led game excursions and time to unwind and savor the unmistakable atmosphere of the Serengeti at your luxury safari lodge.

Day 11

Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya – Crown Jewel of African Conservation

Fly to the Maasai Mara, Kenya’s finest wildlife experience, offering excellent game viewing year-round. The unending landscape hosts some 450 bird species, 95 animal species and many of the great predators, including the country’s largest lion population. Check in to your fine safari lodge, set on a private stretch of the Mara River, before heading out on an afternoon game drive, watching for croc

Day 12

Maasai Mara Game Reserve – Pure Adventure on East Africa’s Plains

Rise early if you wish for an optional hot air balloon ride (at an additional cost), floating peacefully above the game-dotted plains of the Mara. Today and tomorrow, explore the open savanna, woodlands and tree-fringed rivers of the Maasai Mara on morning and afternoon game drives. Amid the stunning scenery, you may view Maasai tribesmen traversing the plains or herding goats and cattle.

Day 13

Maasai Mara Game Reserve – Giving Back to the Community

Between game drives, connect with local residents on a village visit and stop by a primary school (when in session) **supported by Worldway Travels x A&K Philanthropy** to learn how our partnership with LifeStraw is changing lives by providing locals access to safe, clean drinking water.

Day 14

Fly back to Nairobi with a comfortable dayroom at your disposal before your departing flight.
