Inside the world’s largest caldera, you will see a diversity of wildlife ranging from black rhinos, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, lions and leopards to elephants and mountain reedbucks in the forests on the slopes. You might also see buffaloes, spotted hyenas, rare wild dogs and some of the more than 500 bird species of the area. After an intensive game drive and a picnic lunch, you will leave the caldera in the afternoon and travel to the Serengeti National Park. Serengeti means “endless plains” in the language of the Maasai and you will see the grassland savannah stretching to the horizon. Bizarre rock formations called kopjes dot the grassy landscape where predators are often seen. Depending on the season you will witness the migration of thousands of animals for which this park is famous for. You will arrive at your lodge in the Seronera Valley in the central Serengeti in the late afternoon. After supper you will fall asleep to the sounds of the African bush.

The whole day will be spent on a game drive in the Serengeti. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are (predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals). During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. The yearly trek is determined by the rainfalls and the location of the herds might vary from year to year but your guide will know where to find the animals and where to see them best. Apart from wildebeests and zebras you might also spot predators such as lions, leopards and cheetahs.

The Serengeti is also home to the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard – and today you might be able to see all the members of this group. After early morning game drive, you will drive in direction of the Isebania border to masai mara. As soon as you have reached at the border you will be met by our Kenya safari guide for your transfer to Masai Mara

During your stay, you will also have an optional opportunity to visit a village of the Masai people to witness the singing and dancing that are part of their daily life and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.

You will spend another exciting day here, giving you the luxury of time to appreciate the region’s rich wildlife by game drive or even an optional hot air balloon. Zebra, wildebeest, topi, and hippos are common, as are leopards, lions, and cheetahs.

Alternatively, a nature walk at Crescent Island is an excellent way to see wild animals while on Foot. The Island is a private game sanctuary, which is home to zebra, wildebeest, gazelle, Vervet monkeys, hares, genet cats, waterbuck, and giraffe. Or, you may wish to lounge by the pool admiring the view of zebras, giraffes, and waterbuck just outside the fence.

Lunch will be taken en-route. Upon arrival, you will conduct a game drive before arriving to the lodge or camp.In addition to elephant, antelope, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, and the rare and elusive leopard, nearly every vista within the Park is framed by the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.

Optional visit to a Masai village is planned after breakfast. Masai warriors are famously known as the proud nomadic tribe whose legendary prowess in battle and single-handed acts of bravery in fights with the wild animals are known across the world. A visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of their daily life and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Midday finds you at the lodge for lunch and afternoon rest, followed by another extensive "breezy" game drive.

This is the end of your 15days Tanzania & Kenya Safari.
