Great Camps of Kenya and Tanzania

On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta Airport, you are met by our local representative and transferred to your beautiful hotel for a welcome rest.

After breakfast, transfer to the regional airport and fly to Tortilis Camp, a beautiful luxury camp located in Amboseli National Park with views of neighboring Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro. Enjoy an afternoon game drive or an optional walk with the Maasai. 

During your stay, enjoy morning and afternoon shared game drives. After you return to camp, enjoy delicious Italian food, a specialty of the camp, while watching Mount Kilimanjaro slowly reveal itself from behind the clouds – food for body and soul.

Take an early morning flight via Nairobi to Lewa Downs, a magnificent piece of reclaimed wilderness at the foot of Mt. Kenya, now managed by the non-profit Lewa Wildlife Conservancy.

All of the “Big 5” are here, including over 60 black and white rhinos that have thrived since Anna Mertz and the Craig Family decided to set up a rhino sanctuary in 1983. You will be part of a select crowd who will also have access to over 20% of the world's Grevy Zebra population, who thrive in a superb wetland area with bird hides and glorious landscapes of the northern frontier district.

After breakfast, fly to the great Maasai Mara Game Reserve, a wonderful wildlife haven renowned for high predator population and the incredible wildebeest migration.

During your stay at Governor's camp, enjoy 2x daily game drives, or take a hot air balloon safari (at extra cost) to get a birds-eye view of the plentiful wildlife in the area.

After breakfast, fly to Nairobi for light lunch at Dormans Café.  You will then fly to Tanzania via Kilimanjaro airport and then on to the Lake Manyara airstrip on the rim of the Great Rift Valley. Here you are met and then drive to Ngorongoro Crater.

During your stay at Lemala Ngorongoro you will have the opportunity to enjoy included game drives, and you can also have a guided rim walk or enjoy sundowners before heading in to your luxury tent.

In the early morning we descend onto the floor of the crater which contains the highest density of wildlife in Africa, including the “Big 5.” Later we return to the camp for lunch.

After breakfast, fly to Serengeti/Ndutu. Between Dec –April you will fly to the Ndutu area and between June to November fly to North Serengeti.

Serengeti National Park is perhaps the most impressive wildlife sanctuary in the world. These vast, seemingly unending plains are inhabited during the migration by enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra. The herds attract the attention of predators like lion, cheetah and hyena. Exploration of the legendary park is mostly by vehicle.  Spend your nights at the seasonal mobile camp set in a wilderness area. 

After breakfast, fly Serengeti to Arusha to connect with your onward arrangements.
