16 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari

The 16 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari moves across seven world-class destinations, from Ol Pejeta's rhino conservation stronghold to the Masai Mara's golden plains, crosses into the Naboisho Conservancy for exclusive night drives and bush walks, then continues into Tanzania for the Northern Serengeti's Great Migration spectacle, the Ngorongoro Crater, and a finale among Tarangire's giant baobabs and elephant herds.

Between the big wildlife moments, the days deliver guided highland hikes on the Olmoti Volcano, Maasai village visits, Jane Goodall Chimpanzee Sanctuary encounters at Ol Pejeta, full-day game drives with picnic lunches on the Mara, and evening sundowners at remote wilderness camps. Every day is different; every destination earns its place.

For a focused ten-day version of the Kenya-Tanzania combination, the 10 Days Kenya and Tanzania Exclusive Holiday is an excellent alternative. The 13 Days Exclusive East Africa Safari adds private chefs and exclusive retreats.

Frequently Asked Questions

What activities are available in the Naboisho Conservancy that aren't in the national reserve?

Because Naboisho is a private conservancy rather than a national reserve, it allows activities not permitted inside the Maasai Mara National Reserve — including guided bush walks and night game drives. These offer a more intimate wildlife experience and the chance to encounter predators after dark.

Is this safari suitable for first-time visitors to Africa?

Absolutely. The 16-day itinerary is designed to ease you in gently while covering the very best of Kenya and Tanzania. Your guide will be with you throughout, and we pace the days to avoid fatigue while maximising wildlife sightings.

Can this itinerary be customised?

Yes — every safari we build is tailored from scratch. If you'd like to swap destinations, add an extra night somewhere, or adjust the pace, just let us know when you enquire and we'll redesign it around your preferences.
