7 Days Kenya & Tanzania Group Safari

7 Days 6 Nights

Experience two of East Africa’s most famous wildlife destinations on one exciting 7 Days Kenya & Tanzania Group Safari.

This group safari begins in Nairobi, Kenya, and takes you to the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve before continuing into Tanzania for wildlife viewing in the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.

The itinerary is designed for travelers who want to experience the highlights of Kenya and Tanzania while sharing the safari vehicle and selected operating costs with other travelers.

You will have opportunities to see lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and many other wildlife species. The route also gives you the chance to experience two of Africa’s most celebrated ecosystems: the Masai Mara and Serengeti.

Best Time for This Kenya & Tanzania Safari

The safari can be enjoyed throughout the year.

June to October is a popular period for wildlife viewing because of generally drier conditions and increased interest around the Great Wildebeest Migration.

January to February can also offer good wildlife viewing conditions.

The migration moves throughout the ecosystem during the year, so specific wildlife locations and river crossings cannot be guaranteed.

Your Kenya Tanzania group safari begins with pickup from Nairobi in the morning. After meeting the other travelers and safari guide, drive toward the Masai Mara National Reserve.

The journey passes through the beautiful Great Rift Valley, where you can stop for a short viewpoint visit and enjoy the scenery.

Continue toward the Masai Mara with a lunch stop before arriving at your accommodation.

In the afternoon, head out for your first Masai Mara game drive.

The reserve is famous for its large populations of lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and other wildlife. Depending on the season and location, you may also encounter cheetahs and other predators.
