Itinerary of your trip Kenya Tanzania Safari With Victoria Falls

  • Day 1 Day 1: Arrive Nairobi (Kenya)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Arrive Nairobi (Kenya)

      Karibu! We are warmly received in Kenyaโ€™s capital, Nairobi and transferred to our hotel. The Kiswahili language here is often easily understood as many people mix the vernacular with English words. In fact, more people in Kenya speak English than in any other African country. 

      Overnight: Sarova Panafric Hotel, Nairobi (1 night)

  • Day 2 Day 2: Nairobi/Lake Naivasha (Drive)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Nairobi/Lake Naivasha (Drive)

      After an early breakfast, we set off on an exciting sightseeing tour of Nairobi, giving us a chance to learn about this cityโ€™s beauty and history. We stop at Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage to interact with the gentle and fascinating animals living here, visit the giraffe centre and explore the Karen Blixen museum, the former home of the famous Danish author of Out of Africa. Following a hot lunch, we drive to Lake Naivasha, located north-west of Nairobi. En route we stop to enjoy the beautiful views of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment. Lake Naivasha is a stunning freshwater lake in Kenya. The waters of the lake draw a great range of game to its shores. Giraffes wander among the acacia, buffalo wallow in the swamps and colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the lakeโ€™s large hippo population sleep the day out in the shallows.

      Overnight: Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge / Naivasha Simba Lodge, Naivasha (2 nights) (B, L, D)

      Day 3: Lake Naivasha/Lake Nakuru/Lake Naivasha

      Following breakfast, we journey to Lake Nakuru National Park*, which lies on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. This scenic lakeโ€™s abundance of algae attracts a vast number of flamingos and other water birds. The park also provides the rare opportunity to see white and black rhinos, the latter of which is a critically endangered species. We spend the morning and afternoon on a game drive through this stunning region, returning to our lodge in the late afternoon for dinner. (B, L, D)

      Before leaving Lake Naivasha, we have the opportunity to enjoy an optional add-on excursion (priced at US$ 60 per person): a morning boat safari along the lake. Game viewing from the water provides a unique perspective as we spy giraffes, hippos and an extraordinary variety of bird life from our boat. Afterwards, we traverse the Great Rift Valley and ascend to its western rim into the Maasai land. In this stunning landscape, red-clad Maasai warriors tend their herds of cattle among the wildlife, admirably unmoved by the presence of large predators. Every summer, over 2 million animals migrate to the Mara from Serengeti. After lunch at our lodge, we embark on one of the most exciting game drives African safari trips can offer, with the opportunity to see lion, leopard, cheetah and a large variety of herbivores.

      An adventurous day ahead as we enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in the spectacular Masai Mara Game Reserve. Blessed with a permanent water supply, Masai Mara has a year-round population of plains game. All of the Big Five animals โ€“ elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and rhino โ€“ are quite common on this scenic grassland. Option here as well to take an amazing early morning balloon safari followed by champagne breakfast right in the middle of the park, giving us a birds-eye view of the vast Mara.

Our destination today is Serengeti, which literally means โ€œendless plainsโ€. While this day is a long drive, we will enjoy incredible views of the African countryside and stops at scenic villages along the way. Serengeti is the top place to witness the Great Migration, when over 2 million animals cross the plains and the Grumeti River.

Serengeti contains the largest remaining concentration of plains game in Africa, on a scale which has no parallel anywhere in the world. The abundance of herbivores includes wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, topi, buffalo and hartebeest, to name but a few. Serengeti is also famous for its predator population, including lion, cheetah, leopard and hyena, as well as a wide variety of birdlife, believed to be in the region of 500 species. Recently, the park has also become home to rare tree-climbing lions. (B, L, D)

Established in 1959 as a multiple land use area, the region is a number one wildlife destination for Africa safari trips. It features wildlife coexisting with semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists practicing traditional livestock grazing. Its crowning jewel is the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the worldโ€™s largest caldera. We descend to the famous Ngorongoro Crater for a day of superb game viewing, as it is a haven for an estimated 30,000 large mammals. We have the chance to spot lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, hyena, hippo, wildebeest, baboon, gazelle, the endangered black rhino and many more species. After our safari, we drive to Lake Manyara in the late afternoon. Ernest Hemingway called Manyara โ€œthe loveliest I had seen in Africaโ€.
