This is our grand tour of East Africa. It moves from Kenya's Rift Valley lakes to the Masai Mara, crosses into Tanzania for the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, and then flies you to Zanzibar to rest. Each stop has a different landscape and a different set of animals, so the trip keeps changing as it goes.
Why Choose This Safari
• Nine different landscapes: lakes, plains, crater, baobab country and coast, all in a single trip.
• Two countries and an island: Kenya, mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar with one team planning the logistics.
• Balanced pacing: a short lakes warm-up, two nights in each big park, then four beach nights.
• Group and family friendly: plenty of variety for different ages and interests.
