FROM $6,860 At a glance
This 15-day extravaganza is our longest established, signature safari. It’s perfect for the first-time traveller to East Africa, as it offers ample time to explore the area’s finest wildlife sanctuaries, from Ngorongoro and Serengeti in Northern Tanzania to Amboseli, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara in Kenya. Promising more wildlife-viewing time than any other East African safari, it’s simply excellent value.
Day by day
Arusha
On arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you’ll be met by a representative who will escort you to your evening’s accommodation, Arusha Serena Hotel, set on the edge of Lake Duluti and the woodland slopes of Mount Meru. Open the French doors leading onto your private balcony and the lakeside gardens while you settle in and enjoy the day at your leisure.
Serengeti
Enjoy breakfast and make your way by private transfer to Arusha Airport for a light aircraft flight into the world-famous Serengeti National Park. You’ll be welcomed and transferred across the savannah plains to Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge, set on a ridge with panoramic views of the Serengeti. Settle in, relax and enjoy an afternoon game drive, before dinner at the lodge.
Serengeti
Rise to the sound of the birds, enjoy a hot cup of coffee and set off on your morning game drive where you’ll be spotting herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle, along with buffalo, elephant and giraffe, to name a few. The game viewing here won’t disappoint you – whenever you travel and is truly spectacular. In-between riveting game drives, take some time to relax and take a dip in the pool whilst absorbing the magnificent view. Enjoy meals at the lodge and end the day around a crackling campfire.
Ngorongoro
Breakfast will be served before a scenic game drive over the vast Serengeti plains to the remarkable Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Arrive at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge, perched on the rim of Crater, in time for lunch. The afternoon is at your leisure to enjoy the magnificent views of the crater floor or take an optional visit to the local Masai village before enjoying dinner at the lodge.
Ngorongoro
An early morning start to the day before descending the narrow track to the crater floor, where you’ll enjoy a picnic breakfast. Explore this Eden-like setting on the myriad of routes around the crater floor, a mini biosphere with multitudes of animal and bird species, including the black rhino. In the early afternoon, you’ll make your up the narrow track for a late lunch with the rest of the afternoon at leisure. Dinner is served at the restaurant.
Amboseli
Breakfast at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge before returning to Arusha. After a quick lunch in town, cross the border into Kenya. Enter Amboseli National Park, with Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest peak – providing a spectacular backdrop on your afternoon game-viewing drive en route to Amboseli Serena Lodge, where you’ll have dinner.
Amboseli
Set off on your early morning game drive with Mount Kilimanjaro’s snow-covered peak on the horizon. Return for a late breakfast with the remainder of the morning to relax at the lodge. After lunch, enjoy a late afternoon game drive around the many lakes and springs fed by Kilimanjaro’s melting snows in search of Amboseli’s legendary elephant herds. You’ll be invited to plant an acacia tree as part of the Amboseli Reforestation Project (created by Wildlife Safari and Serena Hotels) and receive a commemorative certificate. Return to your lodge for an enjoyable dinner.
Ol Pejeta
Enjoy an early breakfast and depart for Ol Pejeta wildlife sanctuary, famed for its pioneering wildlife conservancy. Break for lunch at a unique location as well as a fun photo opportunity at the equator en route before arriving late afternoon at Sweetwaters Serena Camp, an oasis set around a floodlit waterhole in this private wildlife sanctuary that overlooks Mt Kenya. Dinner is served in the old farmhouse.
Ol Pejeta
Wake up – not only for some extraordinary game viewing – but you’ll also be paying a visit to the only chimpanzee sanctuary in Kenya, where abandoned and rescued chimps are rehabilitated. Returning to the lodge, treat yourself to a cold drink at the Waterhole Bar, offering stunning views of the waterhole and the animals that frequent it. Enjoy dinner at the lodge, overlooking the floodlit waterhole.
Great Rift Valley
Enjoy breakfast before continuing your journey for the Great Rift Valley – boasting hot springs, geysers, volcanoes and some of the oldest, largest and deepest lakes in the world. The alkaline shallow soda lakes are famous for their flamingo flocks gathering to feed and breed along the lakeshore. Arrive at Lake Elmenteita Serena Lodge, set on the shores of flamingo filled lake Elementeita. Freshen up and enjoy the facilities at the lodge or treat yourself to one of the lodges guided nature or birding walks, as an addition to this package. Enjoy dinner at the lodge.
Great Rift Valley
Today, you’ll visit nearby Lake Nakuru National Park, known for its flamingo as well as a breeding sanctuary for the endangered black rhino, white rhino and the rare Rothschild giraffe. Enjoy a picnic lunch before returning to your safari lodge for the evening.
Masai Mara
Depart after breakfast and drive along the Great Rift Valley floor and enter the Masai Mara National Reserve, where you immediately begin game viewing, passing wildlife herds on the vast savannah plains as you drive towards Mara Serena Safari Lodge. Settle in, enjoy lunch and freshen up for your late afternoon game drive. Enjoy dinner at the Lodge before ending the day around the crackling campfire.
Masai Mara
Enjoy two full days of exceptional game viewing in the Masai Mara, following herds of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, eland, topi, impala and many other species, keeping in mind that lion, leopard and cheetah are found here in greater concentrations than anywhere else in Africa. Your Wildlife Safari guide can arrange an extended game drive, travelling deeper into the less frequented parts of the reserve. Stop next to the Mara River with the hippo’s basking on the banks and gazelle grazing close by, drive on through the plains and enjoy lunch, picnic-style under a magnificent acacia tree. Return to the lodge to enjoy dinner and share stories of the day around the glowing fire.
Depart
After breakfast at Mara Serena Lodge, enjoy a final morning game drive en route to the airstrip for your flight to Wilson Airport. A Wildlife Safari representative will meet and transfer you to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward trip.

Destinations on this trip
Tanzania is an East African safari powerhouse, not least because in the Serengeti it features one of the greatest of all wilderness areas, and the backdrop for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration. Factor in Indian Ocean Islands, too, and it’s clear that Tanzania safaris can be all things to all people.
The Serengeti takes its name from a Maasai word meaning ‘where the land runs on forever’. It’s one of the most evocative and iconic safari destinations of all – not least because it’s the stage on which much of the drama of the Great Wildebeest Migration is played out each year.
Amboseli is known as Kenya’s land of giants, and it’s not hard to see why. Africa’s tallest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, towers over the national park, and it’s also one of the best places in East Africa to encounter elephant in numbers. No wonder people use superlatives to describe Amboseli safaris.
Ol Pejeta is a pioneering wildlife conservancy in Laikipia – Kenya’s high country. With the emphasis firmly on species conservation, Ol Pejeta safaris offer not only exceptional opportunities to view species that are scarce elsewhere, but also to learn about, contribute to and even participate in ground-breaking and impactful conservation projects.
The place that launched a thousand clips, and millions of images. There’s no more iconic safari destination than Kenya’s Masai Mara, with its eponymous tribespeople, millions of thundering hooves, and equal parts drama, magic and romance. Kenya itineraries without Masai Mara safaris are almost unthinkable, and every moment spent there is unforgettable.
Lake Naivasha safaris take you to a literal and metaphorical oasis, offering a change of pace without any reduction in wildlife-viewing opportunities. Renowned for its spectacular birdlife, Naivasha nevertheless has a number of other feathers in its cap. While easily reached from Nairobi, it feels a million miles from the hustle of the city.
Lake Elmenteita offers a more secluded safari destination than either of its neighbouring lakes (Naivasha and Nakuru), which can make it feel more exclusive. The unique volcanic landscape adds to the sense of being wonderfully removed from all that’s unimportant – and the unusual wildlife species seen on Lake Elmenteita safaris only reinforce this impression.
