    Experience a safari-trip like no other, combining Africa’s iconic wildlife destinations. Drive through Kenya’s picture-perfect savannahs with a roster of big game. Explore the famed Masai Mara where you can witness the great migration and its mass movement of wildebeest. The three-million-year old Ngorongoro Crater is a wildlife utopia full of silvery-cheeked hornbills, spotted hyena and huge herds of Grant’s gazelles. Then head to Tanzania’s Serengeti grasslands, teeming with legendary creatures. You’ll camp in classic safari-style.

    Arrive Masai Mara, Kenya

    Arrive in Kenya’s capital where you will be met by an A&K representative and driven to the local airport for a 45-minute flight to the Masai Mara. Welcome to the country’s famed game reserve where your chic retreat awaits. Drop your bags and head straight out onto the reserve’s rolling hills in a 4x4, eyes peeled for the Big 5. On return, stroll down to the camp fire for a sundowner. Overlooking the Mara River, you can often spot hippos and crocodiles while you relax. 

    Masai Mara

    Spend the next two days exploring the ancient Masai Mara with an expert guide. Set off across the acacia-dotted plains, home to Masai tribes, scanning for leopards, elephants and rhinos. Between July and August, you have the opportunity to witness massive herds of wildebeests crossing crocodile-infested rivers and moving through the grasslands. For the best bird’s eye views over the herds, take to the skies in a hot air balloon (an extra cost). You’ll be treated to homemade pastries and a glass of champagne when you land. 

    Masai Mara – Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

    Enjoy a morning game drive before your flight to Lake Manyara. On arrival, you’ll be met and driven two hours to the Ngorongoro Crater, a vast green basin of savannah and the world’s largest caldera. Your base for the next few nights is a tented camp that opens up to the wilderness. Take it all in as you dine alfresco.

    Ngorongoro Crater

    Take the full day to explore the Ngorongoro Crater, a biodiverse hotspot of savannah and rolling acacia. Stretching over 260 square kilometres, its extinct crater floor is teeming with exquisite wildlife, more than justifying its UNESCO World Heritage status. Surrounded by deep escarpment walls, explore this wildlife cornucopia with unadulterated freedom. You’ll see massive herds of zebra and the highest known density of lions on the planet. Depending on the time of year, you may also see flamingos in their thousands.

    Ngorongoro Crater – Serengeti

    This morning you’ll be picked up in an A&K Land Cruiser, specially adapted for 360-degree views. The journey will take three hours depending on how many times you stop to soak up big game country or how long you linger over a picnic. Arrive at your next camp in the late afternoon and kick back with a cocktail and some sofa safari.

    Serengeti

    There’s a reason why the Serengeti is at the top of every safari wish list. Not only does it play host to the great wildebeest migration, but its wildlife-packed plains offer some of the continent’s most rewarding sights. Explore classic safari country where every day you can spot roaming lions, cheetahs and elephants galore. You’ll be treated to buffalo sightings, herds of zebras and giraffe sprinkling the landscape as well as around 500 bird species including ostriches and marabou storks. Its rocky outcrops and rivers offer picturesque backdrops from where you can watch the action unfold.

    Depart Serengeti, Tanzania

    After breakfast, say goodbye to the bush and transfer to the airstrip from where you will depart for your overnight flight home.
