This eight-day cross-border adventure takes you through two of East Africa's most iconic countries, combining the sweeping savannahs of Kenya with the legendary wildlife theatres of Tanzania. You will set off from Nairobi and travel south through Amboseli, where elephant herds roam against the snow-capped silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro, before crossing into Tanzania to explore the dramatic landscapes of Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. Each park offers a completely distinct ecosystem, ensuring every day in the bush brings fresh sightings and new stories. At Africompass, our multilingual guides fluent in English, Spanish, Chinese, German, and French will be with you every step of the way, ensuring a seamless and deeply personal safari experience. This is East Africa at its most complete, expertly curated for travellers who want to see it all.
Your safari will begin with a morning departure from Nairobi, heading south towards Amboseli National Park. You will enjoy a game drive en route to the lodge, arriving for lunch, followed by an evening game drive across Amboseli's iconic open plains before dinner and your first night under the African sky.
You will spend a full day exploring Amboseli, one of Kenya's most spectacular wildlife destinations, set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. Morning and afternoon game drives will offer outstanding opportunities to observe large elephant herds alongside lion, leopard, cheetah, rhino, buffalo, and a rich array of plains game. An optional Maasai village visit is available for those wishing to experience local culture at an additional cost.
After breakfast you will enjoy a final morning game drive in Amboseli before departing for the Namanga border post, where the team will assist with all immigration formalities as you cross into Tanzania. You will continue to Arusha for lunch, then proceed to Lake Manyara National Park for an afternoon game drive before dinner and overnight at the lodge.
An early morning game drive in Lake Manyara will reveal the park's diverse birdlife, tree-climbing lions, and hippo pools before you sit down for breakfast. You will then set out for the Serengeti National Park, game-viewing along the way, and arrive at the lodge in time for lunch. The afternoon will bring your first game drive across the Serengeti's legendary endless plains.
You will have a full day to absorb the magnificence of the Serengeti, whose name translates to 'endless plains' in the Maa language, with morning and afternoon game drives separated by a relaxed lunch break at the lodge. The central plains are home to leopard, spotted hyena, and cheetah, while the park is renowned as the stage of the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra between the Serengeti and Kenya's Maasai Mara. Bird enthusiasts will delight in sightings of eagles, flamingoes, ducks, geese, and vultures.
After an early breakfast you will depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, descending approximately 670 metres into the crater floor for a full day of game viewing in one of Africa's most extraordinary natural amphitheatres. You will encounter black-maned lions, rhinos, buffaloes, elephants, and an abundance of grazing wildlife, with a picnic lunch at the iconic Ngoitoktok Springs. An evening game drive in the crater will follow before you return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast you will leave the Ngorongoro Crater and travel to Tarangire National Park, arriving at the lodge in time for lunch. Tarangire offers a wonderfully remote atmosphere, characterised by ancient baobab trees, the seasonal Tarangire River, and a remarkable diversity of birdlife including monkeys, hornbills, pelicans, and herons. A short afternoon game drive will introduce you to the park's unique character before a relaxed dinner and overnight.
Your final safari morning will begin with an early game drive in Tarangire, offering one last chance to appreciate the park's ancient baobab landscape and diverse wildlife before breakfast. You will then depart for Arusha, arriving in time for a farewell lunch, after which you will be transferred to Arusha Airport for your onward flight.
