Highlights of Kenya and Tanzania Safari

This package is a custom-made adventure designed to provide travel enthusiasts with an immersive experience in the natural beauty, wildlife, and birdlife of the iconic national parks in Kenya and Tanzania.

Highlights of Kenya and Tanzania Safari covers Lake Nakuru National Park also known as a paradise for birdwatchers, offering a stunning array of approximately 400 bird species that thrive in its diverse habitats. Nestled within its picturesque landscapes, this park also serves as a crucial sanctuary for the endangered white and black rhinoceroses, alongside a myriad of other wildlife species.

The park’s avian population is nothing short of spectacular, drawing enthusiasts and researchers alike to witness its vibrant tapestry of feathered residents. Among the most iconic inhabitants are the flocks of lesser and greater flamingos that famously gather along the shores of Lake Nakuru, creating a breathtaking spectacle of pink hues against the shimmering waters.

Beyond the flamingos, Lake Nakuru hosts an impressive variety of other waterfowl, including pelicans, cormorants, herons, and storks, all attracted by the rich feeding grounds offered by the lake. The surrounding woodlands and grasslands are home to a diverse range of terrestrial birds, from the majestic African fish eagle to the colorful kingfishers, bee-eaters, and rollers that add splashes of brilliance to the park’s verdant scenery.

Highlights of Kenya and Tanzania also take you to Maasai Mara National Reserve which stands as a beacon of African wildlife conservation and tourism, renowned worldwide for its extraordinary biodiversity and dramatic natural spectacles. At its heart lies the annual Great Migration.

Beyond the migration, Maasai Mara is home to the Big Five—elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos—making it one of the few places on earth where these iconic species can be seen in their natural habitat. The Mara’s open grasslands also support large herds of giraffes, antelopes, and numerous bird species, ensuring that every game drive or guided safari yields unforgettable encounters with Africa’s most charismatic wildlife.

Serengeti National Park, neighboring Maasai Mara across the border in Tanzania, shares its reputation as a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike. The park’s vast plains and expansive landscapes are synonymous with the Great Wildebeest Migration, where immense herds of wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes trek across the savannahs in a timeless quest for sustenance.

With Highlights of Kenya and Tanzania, you get to visit Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and natural wonder of the world, offers a unique wildlife viewing experience within the confines of a collapsed volcanic caldera. This natural amphitheater hosts an astonishing concentration of animals, including large populations of lions, elephants, wildebeests, and critically endangered black rhinos.

Lake Manyara National Park, situated along the steep escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, presents a mosaic of diverse habitats that support an incredible variety of bird and wildlife species. From the lush evergreen groundwater forests to the acacia woodlands, grassy plains, and the expansive lake itself, the park’s ecosystem is teeming with life. Visitors can embark on guided walks through the forests, spotting elusive tree-climbing lions and encountering troops of playful baboons.

Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic baobab trees and perennial Tarangire River, is a haven for wildlife during the dry season. The river serves as a vital water source, drawing large concentrations of elephants, lions, giraffes, and numerous bird species to its shores.

Highlights of Kenya and Tanzania Safari offers a unique and enriching safari experience, characterized by diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife, and unparalleled natural beauty. Whether witnessing the spectacle of the Great Migration in Maasai Mara, exploring the archaeological treasures of Olduvai Gorge in Serengeti, marveling at the wildlife abundance in Ngorongoro Crater, experiencing the varied ecosystems of Lake Manyara, or observing the seasonal dynamics of Tarangire, you are guaranteed to be captivated by the sheer magnificence and biodiversity of East Africa’s national parks and reserves.
