East Africa Great National Parks & Zanzibar Beach

Upon your arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), you’lll be greeted and transferred to your reserved accommodation, giving you the chance to unwind and recover from your journey.

You’ll be picked up from your hotel in Nairobi and transported to Amboseli National Park. Upon arrival, you’ll embark on an evening game drive to explore the park’s stunning wildlife. Afterward, you’ll head to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Spend an entire day immersing yourself in the wonders of Amboseli National Park through morning and afternoon game drives. This breathtaking East african destination is famed for its majestic elephant herds and iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro, which towers just across the border in Tanzania.

As Kenya’s second most popular national park after the Masai Mara National Reserve, Amboseli was recognized as a UNESCO-MAB Biosphere Reserve in 1991. The park’s central basin transforms into a magnet for wildlife during periods of heavy rainfall, making it an incredible spot to witness the Big Five alongside a diverse range of rare and lesser-seen species.

After breakfast, head to Lake Nakuru National Park, arriving at the lodge just in time for lunch. Spend the afternoon on thrilling game drives that continue until evening, then unwind with dinner and an overnight stay.

Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge is located in a remarkable area within one of Kenya’s most densely populated wetland national parks, recognized as a Ramsar site. It is conveniently situated just two hours’ drive from Nairobi, offering a scenic journey through lush forested uplands and alongside a series of picturesque lakes.

You have the option to embark on an early morning game drive in Lake Nakuru today, after which you can return to the lodge for breakfast. Alternatively, you may choose to wake up at 7 a.m, savor your breakfast at a leisurely pace, and subsequently set off for Masai Mara National Reserve, enjoying an en route game drive from Nakuru.

Masai Mara National Reserve, widely regarded as Africa‘s greatest wildlife reserve, lies in the southwestern part of Kenya. Masai Mara famed for its thriving lion populations, the awe-inspiring Great Wildebeest Migration, and the rich traditions of the Masai people, known for their distinctive customs and attire, it remains one of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa.

Today begins with an early breakfast to kick-start your journey from the Masai Mara to Tanzania, crossing the border at Isebania. Upon reaching the border, a guide from African Diurnal Safaris will be there to welcome you and facilitate your transfer to Seronera/ Central Serengeti National Park. Here, you’ll settle in for a 2-night stay and have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the exploration of this iconic part of the park.

After enjoying breakfast at the camp, you’ll depart with your packed picnic lunch to begin your day. The morning will be dedicated to a game drive through the Eastern or Southern Serengeti, which will extend into the early afternoon.

Afterward, you’ll head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon reaching the camp perched on the crater’s rim, you can unwind for a relaxed evening, concluding your day with dinner and an overnight stay.

After enjoying breakfast at the lodge, embark on a half–day game drive exploring the crater, complete with a picnic lunch. In the afternoon, proceed to Tarangire where you’ll have dinner and spend the night.

The jewel in Ngorongoro’s crown is a deep- volcanic crater, the largest unfolded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq. km in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breath-taking natural wonder. You’ll visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here.

You’ll begin your day with breakfast at the camp before embarking on your final safari through the magnificent East Africa Great National Parks. This experience will include both a morning and afternoon game drive within Tarangire National Park.

Following your wildlife adventures, you’ll be transferred to Arusha town, where you can unwind at the lodge in the evening, enjoy dinner, and spend the night.

Tarangire National Park, which spans approximately 2,600 square kilometers, is particularly breathtaking during the dry season when numerous migratory wildlife species return to the reliable waters of the Tarangire River. During this time, large herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, eland, and oryx congregate in the park, remaining there until the rains arrive, prompting their migration to more favorable grazing areas.

Based of your flight schedule, you’ll be transferred to either Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport for your journey to Zanzibar.

Once you arrive at Zanzibar International Airport, our guide will welcome you and assist with your transfer to your reserved accommodation on the eastern coast of Zanzibar Island.

The next three nights are dedicated to unwinding on Zanzibar’s idyllic white sand beaches, immersing in the soothing warmth of the Indian Ocean, and enjoying the luxurious comforts of your beach resort at a leisurely pace.

the Zanzibar archipelago is often celebrated as the Spice Islands, thanks to the rich heritage of spice cultivation in the region. A tour of the spice plantations provides a chance to experience the lively aromas and flavors of local spices like turmeric, ginger, black pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon, through sight, smell, and taste.

Additionally, for those seeking extra adventures, there’s a selection of optional activities to enrich your stay. You could take a boat trip to one of the smaller, serene islands for exploration and relaxation, join a dolphin-watching tour, or stop by Prison Island to delve into its historical significance.
