As you step out of Kilimanjaro International Airport, your personal Tanzania Wildlife Voyages guide welcomes you warmly with a cheerful: “Karibu Tanzania – welcome to Tanzania!” From there, your guide escorts you directly to your hotel, where you can unwind and soak in the vibrant African atmosphere. The following day, embark on a private, tailor-made safari with your guide, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace. Enjoy the comfort of your own safari jeep and pause as long as you like to observe the magnificent wildlife!
📒 PLEASE NOTE: Check-in starts at 2:00 PM.
A protected area for endangered species is the Ol’ Pejeta Conservancy. With almost 100 black rhinos, nearly 40 southern white rhinos, and the final two northern white rhinos in the world, this place is a rhino lover’s paradise. You can even get up close and personal with these white rhinos! In addition to rhinos, the conservancy is home to a sanctuary for mistreated or abandoned chimpanzees as well as endangered animals like the African wild dog, oryx, Jackson’s hartebeest, and Grévy’s zebra.
For the next two days, your safari journey will continue in northern Kenya. Depending on your lodging, you’ll visit Samburu National Reserve (Elephant Bedroom Camp or Samburu Sopa Lodge) or Buffalo Springs National Reserve (Ashnil Surana Buffalo Springs). Both reserves are part of the same ecosystem and include plentiful animals and panoramic savannah views.
The Solio Ranch Conservancy is a privately owned and unique wildlife sanctuary. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, the former ranch is committed to conserving and protecting rhinos in Kenya. Enjoy exhilarating game drives, guided walks, and tranquil picnics amidst the magnificent surroundings, where you can see not only grey giants, but also buffalos, zebras, giraffes, elands, oryx, impala, waterbucks, Thomson’s gazelles, and warthogs. You can spend an extraordinary day here or perhaps spend the night at this peaceful location in the middle of nowhere.
Lake Nakuru National Park is an incredible wildlife paradise located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley. The park’s major attraction, Nakuru Lake, attracts hundreds of birds to its beaches. The park was once noted for its large flamingo population, but rising water levels forced these birds to migrate elsewhere. Fortunately, they are gradually returning, and in any event, Lake Nakuru is a fantastic site to visit, with black and white rhinos, giraffes, buffalos, lions, the occasional leopard, and over 400 bird species.
Lovers of road trips get their money’s worth today, as you drive to what might be the most famous safari destination in the world. If you decide to sleep at the Zebra Plains Safari Camp today (our silver accommodation), you will end the day on a high note with a walking safari. If you opt for our gold or platinum accommodation, however, you skip the walking safari but sleep right in the heart of the Masai Mara.
Have you ever longed to pass floating hippos by boat? Look no further: this is what will happen during a boat safari on Lake Naivasha. You will cruise by large groups of hippos while watching eagles and cormorants sail overhead and seeing giraffes on the coast. The safari in a small motorised boat lasts approximately 60 minutes and concludes on the lovely Crescent Island, where you will continue with a stunning walking safari among zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests.
You’ll spend at least two days exploring the magical Amboseli National Park. Fantastic views of Mount Kilimanjaro await you, with animals grazing in front. And if you stay at the Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp, you can enjoy breathtaking savannah views at sunset, sundowner in hand!
Tsavo West National Park is a park with a rich and outstanding nature, including Mzima Springs, Shetani Lava Flows, and the Chaimu Crater. This is one of Kenya’s largest national parks, spanning 9,065 square kilometres, and four of the Big Five can be found roaming freely. Furthermore, you may readily find giraffes, zebras, antelopes, gerenuks, and a variety of bird species among the verdant hills, acacia woods, grassland, natural springs, and massive lava rocks from surrounding volcanoes.
The Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and LUMO Conservancy are two minor parks located between the massive Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Parks. They provide unique nighttime game drives and, due to their proximity, may be easily combined. During a safari, you can expect to encounter lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and antilopes, among other animals, as well as over 300 bird species. In the surrounding Taita Hills, you can also see Kenya’s rarest (and most endangered) birds: the Taita Apalis, Taita White-eye, and Taita Thrush.
Tsavo East National Park, with over 13,000 square km, is massive, spectacular, and has been around since 1948. Explore the Yatta Plateau’s vast savannah, home to big herds of red elephants, and spot some of the last remaining supertuskers and maneless lions. Listen to the famous story of the man-eating lions while keeping an eye out for an incredible variety of other animals, including dik-diks, zebras, giraffes, yellow baboons, cheetahs, African wild dogs, elands, gazelles, gerenuks, hyenas, jackals, and over 500 bird species!
This is your last day! Unfortunately, our driver will have to take you to Mombasa to catch your flight home from Moi International Airport. Sad to leave…? Then don’t worry! We can still add a few more days on those beautiful beaches or even add a few exciting safari days to your holiday!
Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about South Africa. The Kruger safari exceeded all expectations — we saw the Big Five within the first two days. The wine tasting in Franschhoek was a wonderful bonus.
A well-organized tour that covers all the highlights of South Africa. The accommodations were comfortable and the pace was just right. Victoria Falls was breathtaking. Only minor suggestion would be more free time in Cape Town. Overall, highly recommended!
This was the trip of a lifetime! The sunset cruise on the Zambezi was magical, and seeing penguins at Boulders Beach was unforgettable. Every detail was taken care of. Our guide made us feel like family.
