Follow the Great Migration on both sides of the border — from the Maasai Mara in Kenya, across to Speke Bay on Lake Victoria, through the vast Serengeti, and into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater.
This cross-border safari starts in Nairobi with a rest day (optional Karen Blixen Museum and Giraffe Centre visits). Head to Lake Naivasha for scenic Rift Valley views and a boat ride. Then two nights in the Maasai Mara — the world-famous home of the wildebeest migration. Cross the Tanzania border to Speke Bay on Lake Victoria, then push on to the Serengeti for two full game drive days. Conclude with a dramatic descent into the Ngorongoro Crater. Fly home from Kilimanjaro. Groups from 8 pax. From US$2,128 pp (groups).
