Tour Plan

Day 01 Nairobi - Amboseli National Park

Antonio safaris driver pick you at either the airport or your hotel in Nairobi for transfer. Following the introductory session and a quick overview of your safari, you will board a 4X4 land cruiser and start your safari. You will leave Nairobi and move on to Amboseli National Park. You will arrive around noon on schedule for the check-in procedure and lunch. Afterwards, you will go on a safari drive in the afternoon where you can see the Big Five animals (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, and elephant) as well as other African animals. You will have dinner and spend the night at the lodge.

Day 02 Amboseli – Namanga Border – Karatu Town

Our last morning in Amboseli National Park starts with a special morning game drive. This is your final chance to see elephants, zebras, and other wildlife with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. After breakfast at your lodge, you begin the journey to Tanzania. You drive for 2hrs to reach the Namanga border, where you'll complete the formalities to enter Tanzania.

The drive continues through beautiful African countryside for another five hours. Along the way, you'll see traditional Maasai villages and eat your packed lunch. By late afternoon, you reach the peaceful town of Karatu, located in green rolling hills. Your comfortable lodge here offers a relaxing evening with a good dinner and rest. This is perfect timing, as tomorrow morning you'll take a short 45-minute drive to explore the amazing Ngorongoro Crater.

Day 03 Ngorongoro Crater – Serengeti National Park

Your day starts early with breakfast in Karatu, followed by a short drive to the famous Ngorongoro Crater. This special place is like a giant natural bowl filled with animals. As you drive down into the crater, you'll see many different animals like rare black rhinos, lions hunting their prey, and large herds of zebras and wildebeest grazing on the green grass. You'll have your lunch inside the crater while watching these amazing animals all around you.

After lunch, you leave the crater and drive to the Serengeti National Park, where even more adventures await. The drive is exciting because you start seeing animals as soon as you enter the park's endless grasslands. By evening, you reach your camp in the middle of the Serengeti, where you'll have dinner and spend the night. The best part is falling asleep to the natural sounds of the the Africa wild.

Day 4 Full Day in Serengeti National Park

Early morning begins with the peaceful sounds of the Serengeti, and after breakfast at your camp, you head out for a full day of animal watching. This is where the famous Great Migration happens - where millions of wildebeest and zebras move across the endless plains looking for grass and water. Along the way, you might see dramatic scenes at the Mara River, where animals must cross dangerous waters filled with crocodiles while lions and other predators wait nearby.

Your safari drive continues through the beautiful Serengeti plains, dotted with acacia trees. During the day, you'll stop for lunch and more game viewing, looking for lions, elephants, giraffes, and many other animals that call this place home. As the sun starts to set, you return to Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma, where you can relax, enjoy dinner, and share stories about the day's exciting wildlife sightings. The name "Serengeti" means "endless plains" in the local language, and after today, you'll understand why - the grasslands seem to stretch forever under the big African sky.

Day 5 Serengeti National Park – Arusha

On your final morning in the Serengeti, you wake up early for one last game drive through these famous plains. This is your chance to spot any animals you might have missed, like lions waking up from their night hunt or leopards in the trees. After your morning adventure, you'll have breakfast at the camp and begin your journey back to Arusha.

The drive to Arusha takes you through changing landscapes, from the open Serengeti grasslands to more populated areas. You'll stop for lunch along the way, and by late afternoon, you'll arrive in Arusha city. Depending on your flight time, you can either rest at a day room, do some quick souvenir shopping in town, or head straight to Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport for your departure. This marks the end of your safari adventure through Kenya and Tanzania's most beautiful wildlife areas.
