Expert Masai guides with deep knowledge of wildlife and culture will take you on morning and afternoon game drives - the main attraction of the Mara.

Today you'll say goodbye to Kenya and head to the Serengeti, located in northern Tanzania. The Serengeti is abundant with game, and with its vast 14,763sq km area, migrating animals are always on the move. An extra night in the Serengeti is welcome, offering more time to explore and track fantastic animals and species. If timed right, the migration in the summer months can see close to a million animals migrating north, daring to cross the crocodile-infested Mara River.

The chosen camp for this stay will depend on the time of year. The Pioneer Camp, with its bygone era style located in the southern region of the Serengeti, is ideal for year-round visits with large herds of wildebeest passing frequently. During the migrating months, head north to the Migration Camp, which is ideally placed to watch the migration unfold from the comfort of your stilted tent. Whilst out on game drives, enjoy packed picnics with local favourites and sundowner G&Ts in the evening, watching the sunset over the plains of the Serengeti.

After an unforgettable time in the Serengeti, fly east to Lake Manyara where you will be met on arrival and transferred to lunch at the Lake. After enjoying lunch, join a game drive en route to the lodge, where hippos can be seen in the shallows as well as a flamboyance of flamingos on the water. Your final two nights will be spent at the elegant Cape Dutch-style cottage, The Manor. Enjoy a spa treatment and the afternoon at leisure before dinner.

The next day will be spent fully immersed in the biodiversity which is unique to the Ngorongoro crater. At over 20km wide and 600 metres deep, this natural volcanic amphitheatre is home to the highest density of animals in Africa at over 30,000. Explore the crater from its edge with views across the horizon, before descending down to its floor. Between spotting grazing zebra, lounging lions and a good number of black rhino, take in a final picnic lunch under the acacia trees. 

Enjoy a final breakfast before flying to Arusha, where you’ll be greeted and taken to the Arusha Coffee Lodge until your flight home. Relax in your day room or stroll amid the gardens and plantations, grabbing one final cup of smooth Kilimanjaro java. A private transfer will then take you to the airport for your overnight flight home.

Extend your stay with additional time on the beautiful sandy beaches of Zanzibar, only a short flight from Kilimanjaro.
