10-Day Kenya & Tanzania Safari – Maasai Mara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro

Trip Overview

Embark on the ultimate East Africa safari adventure with this carefully crafted 10-day Kenya and Tanzania itinerary, taking you through three of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations. Begin your journey in the legendary Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, where vast open savannah stretches to the horizon and the world-famous Great Wildebeest Migration draws millions of animals across the plains — a spectacle unlike anything else on Earth. Cross into Tanzania and enter the Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — alongside cheetah, giraffe, zebra, and countless bird species.

Your safari culminates at the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and one of Africa’s greatest natural wonders, offering unparalleled game viewing in a self-contained ecosystem. Throughout this 10-day safari, you’ll enjoy expert-guided game drives at dawn and dusk, authentic bush camp experiences, and the warm hospitality of the Maasai people. Whether you’re a first-time safari-goer or a seasoned wildlife traveler, this Kenya and Tanzania safari package delivers the raw beauty, big skies, and unforgettable wildlife encounters that make East Africa the world’s premier safari destination.
