East Africa Tours

You will visit Aberdare National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park, Masai Mara National Reserve, Nairobi, Lake Manyara National Park, Northern Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater.

This lovely 20-Day Astonishing Kenya & Tanzania Safari unfolds as a seamless, richly layered safari experience, weaving together Kenya and Tanzania’s most iconic wilderness areas with moments of cultural connection and scenic wonder.

The adventure begins with a scenic drive into the cool, mist-draped highlands of Aberdare National Park. Here, the rhythm of your safari gently takes shape as you explore dense forests, rolling moorlands, and hidden valleys alive with waterfalls cascading down steep escarpments. Guided excursions lead you to these secluded falls, where the air is fresh and filled with the sounds of nature, while game viewing reveals elusive species such as forest elephants, bushbucks, and the rare bongo antelope. Evenings are serene, often spent overlooking floodlit waterholes where wildlife quietly gathers.

Descending into the Great Rift Valley, you arrive at Lake Nakuru National Park, a compact yet wildlife-rich haven. Game drives here are rewarding and diverse, with sightings of white and black rhinos, Rothschild giraffes, and prides of lions. Along the shimmering alkaline lake, flocks of flamingos and pelicans create a vibrant spectacle, complemented by sweeping viewpoints that offer panoramic vistas of the lake and surrounding escarpments.

The journey then flows դեպի the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve, where you settle in for five immersive nights. Days are structured around thrilling morning and afternoon game drives across endless golden plains teeming with wildlife—from vast herds of wildebeest and zebras to stealthy predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards.

One day is dedicated to cultural discovery with a visit to a traditional Maasai village, offering insight into age-old customs and ways of life. For those seeking a truly unforgettable perspective, an optional hot air balloon safari at sunrise reveals the Mara in breathtaking silence, followed by a champagne bush breakfast. Each evening, you return to camp or lodge as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the savannah in warm hues.

Returning to Nairobi, you enjoy a relaxed interlude highlighted by a visit to The Giraffe Centre. This charming stop allows for close interaction with endangered Rothschild giraffes, adding a light and memorable touch before your cross-border journey continues.

A short flight carries you into Tanzania, where the landscape shifts once again as you arrive at Lake Manyara National Park. Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, this park offers a lush contrast with its groundwater forests, open floodplains, and the soda lake itself. Game drives here are known for sightings of tree-climbing lions, large troops of baboons, and a remarkable variety of birdlife.

From here, the safari deepens as you venture north into the vast wilderness of the Serengeti National Park, specifically the remote and wildlife-rich northern region. Over five nights, you explore this less-traveled area, renowned for its dramatic river crossings during the Great Migration season and its year-round abundance of predators. Game drives are immersive and unhurried, allowing you to follow wildlife movements, witness raw predator-prey interactions, and absorb the sheer scale of the Serengeti’s endless plains.

In the final chapter of your journey, you descend into the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater. This UNESCO-listed natural amphitheater offers one of Africa’s most concentrated wildlife experiences. Game drives on the crater floor reveal an extraordinary density of animals, including lions, elephants, buffalo, and the rare black rhino, all set against a backdrop of lush grasslands, acacia forests, and shimmering soda lakes. The scenery is nothing short of breathtaking, providing a fitting and unforgettable conclusion to your safari.

As your 20-Day Astonishing Kenya & Tanzania Safari adventure comes to an end, you leave with a deep sense of connection to East Africa’s landscapes, wildlife, and cultures—an experience defined by its diversity, rhythm, and extraordinary beauty.

Why You Should Visit Kenya and Tanzania.

  • Tanzania

Tanzania is a popular safari destination in Africa. The Tanzania safari tours and holidays based on the wildlife viewing is incredible, with big cats being especially visible. All the Big Five can be found in Tanzanian national parks and reserves, including the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. Almost 40% of the country is protected and set aside for conservation, making it possible to spend two weeks on a Tanzania safari driving from national park to national park while rarely leaving the bush.

  • Kenya

Kenya safari tours and holidays offer some of the finest scenery and one of Africa’s greatest wildlife and bird watching destinations.

Kenya is the historical home of the East African safari. The country’s vast savannah grasslands are teeming with charismatic mega-fauna like Big Cats and the Big Five (elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, and rhino).

Other than that, the landscapes here are truly breathtaking, ranging from deserts in the north to dense forests in the west to the Rift Valley lakes in the center to a tropical coast in the east.

As a result, there is a well-established safari industry in the region, ready to show you one of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes and an abundance of exotic wildlife.

Frequently Asked Question about Kenya

  1. When is the best time of year to visit Kenya?

The months of June through October are perfect for visiting Kenya. Trails are more accessible and the weather is more reliable during this time. This is also in sync with the annual Maasai Mara wildebeest and zebra migration. Animals are congregating in large numbers around the remaining water sources as the dry season continues.

Unfortunately, high-season prices are in effect all year long, with the exception of June It’s also more crowded,. The crowds are also larger – in some parks, the queue of safari vehicles can take away something from your experience, and some areas of the Maasai Mara can be completely overwhelmed with vehicles during the migration. 

However, many travelers prefer the months of November through February because that is when the majority of migratory birds arrive, travel is rarely interrupted by rain, and the country is transformed into a lovely shade of green. Heavy rains are possible during this time of year, turning safari trails into muddy bogs, so most tourists avoid it. During these months, costs are reduced.

2. How are the wildlife viewing opportunities in Kenya?

Kenya’s parks offer a wide range of experiences for wildlife viewers. Many of the most visited National Parks in Kenya, including Amboseli, Maasai Mara, Samburu, and Lake Nakuru, offer excellent chances to see exotic and endangered species on safari. All of these parks have dense animal populations, making them excellent all-around safari destinations where you can see a wide variety of animals in a short amount of time.

The Big Five are commonly seen on safaris. One of the best places in Africa to see big cats is the Maasai Mara, and white rhinos are common at Kenya’s Lake Nakuru National Park. Thousands upon thousands of flamingos flock to the shallow waters of the Rift Valley lakes, particularly Lake Bogoria, each year in search of food.

3. Is Kenya safe for tourists?

A trip to Kenya for a safari is in most cases risk-free, but there are a few things travelers should keep in mind. There is a widespread perception that Nairobi and other major cities in Kenya are plagued by high rates of violent crime.

Kubwa Five Safaris have a good reputation when it comes to safety, and if you pay attention to the safety briefings and do as your guides instruct, you should have no problems.

Frequently Asked Question about Tanzania

  1. When is the best time of year to visit Tanzania?

The optimal time to book a safari in Tanzania varies dependent on the individual’s goals for the trip. Planning beforehand is essential if witnessing the wildebeest migration is the primary goal of your trip. From June to October is when you have the best chance of seeing the wildebeest migration in Serengeti, though you wil need to remain in different parts of the park at different phases of the migration, which is unpredictable because it depends on the rain.

To avoid the crowds, it’s best to book your Serengeti hotel room well in advance of the annual wildebeest migration. If you plan on going on a safari, avoid the months of March through May because that’s when it rains the most.

2. How are the wildlife viewing opportunities in Tanzania?

The chances of seeing exotic animals in Tanzania are high. Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater are all stops on the Northern Circuit of Tanzania safaris. Even though some of these parks are only open during certain times of the year, they all offer fantastic opportunity to see wild animals. If you want to get the most out of it, you should go the whole thing and see the different ecosystems and habitats that make up the park.

The parks are large enough that you can find solitude if you want it, but this is still a very popular route, so you can expect to be among other people at various points. If you need some peace and quiet, the Southern circuit offers slightly more challenging but still excellent game viewing. It’s possible that repeat travelers to Africa who aren’t as eager to see the Big Five would enjoy this route more.

2. Is Tanzania safe for tourists?

The tourism industry in Tanzania is well-developed and well-seasoned, so visitors need not worry about their safety on a safari in Tanzania.

To counter this, it’s not a good idea to go out on foot at night in Dar es Salaam or any other large city because of the high rate of petty crime. Tourists are occasionally targeted in Arusha and other urban tourist hotspots, but most of the time the bother is innocuous and is really just touts trying to sell things (anything from safaris to beaded necklaces). It is usually enough to be firm and stand your ground to diffuse any situation.

The vast majority of tourists to Tanzania don’t spend much (if any) time in urban areas, therefore this shouldn’t be a problem.

We offer expertly curated safari experiences in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Namibai. Whether you’re planning a luxury vacation, a honeymoon safari, or an adventure-packed wildlife tour, we have the perfect package tailored just for you.
