Daily Private Safari Tour by 4x4 jeep

Enjoy this amazing safari in a customized pop-up roof 4×4 Safari Jeep that includes: Cooler Box, long-range high-frequency radio, Power Outlets AC 230V, First Aid Kit, and above all, a professional multi-lingual safari guide who will ensure you have an unforgettable safari experience.

From the Masai Mara to the Serengeti. From Lake Victoria to Ngorongoro Crater – this 8-day, 7-night African safari adventure is a treasure of wildlife, scenery, and landscapes that are unparalleled.

Prepare to witness astounding numbers of animals displaying their colors, diversity, and drama as they always have on these ancient lands. And the land itself will enchant with its vast spaces, endless stretch of lakes, and dramatic volcanic terrain.

It’s all here in Kenya and neighboring Tanzania – 5 striking habitats – all awaiting your discovery.

Here’s Your Tanzania Safari

Starting at either your hotel or the airport, we’ll begin your Africa safari journeying off to the world-famous Masai Mara Game Reserve. The reserve, Kenya’s finest, is a spectacular display with its dense and diverse big game. Buckle up for unlimited game drives during your three days here.

Optional extras that will add to your Mara experience – visit a local Maasai village to meet and learn about the area’s indigenous people. For the ultimate thrill, sail on an early morning hot air balloon ride over the active reserve. You’ll rise with the sun as the park below you comes alive with light and life.

After the spectacle of the Mara, you’ll next be crossing into Tanzania and headed for the cool blue shores of Lake Victoria. Spend a relaxing evening, basking in the gentle breezes wafting off Africa’s largest lake. You’ll enjoy visiting a local fishing village, learning about the lifestyle here and its colorful inhabitants.

From Victoria, it’s an easy morning drive to Serengeti National Park. First, we’ll explore the  Olduvai Gorge, earliest site of humankind’s habitation – the fossils found here date back two million years. Everything about the Serengeti is deep, rich, and ancient. The massive grasslands are home to millions of wildlife – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and uncounted wildebeest and zebra.

You’ll also be on the lookout for dozens of other predators and grazers such as cheetah, gazelle, impala, and hyena.

The Ngorongoro Crater

Then we’ll descend into the most unique feature of the park – the Ngorongoro Crater. This extinct volcanic caldera is the largest of its kind in the world. On the dense crater floor, you’ll find an astonishing, self-contained world – tens of thousands of large animals inhabit this eco-system – rhino, buffalo, hippo, zebra, and a rich population of lions.

The day will end with a flourish as we ascend back up the crater’s rim and witness an unforgettable sunset. The next morning will reward us with a mirror image of a dazzling sunrise lighting up the opposite side of the crater – have your camera ready. It’s a display worthy of this magnificent park.

Our last stop on this 8-day adventure is Tarangire National Park. This is a small but beautiful park featuring great stands of imposing baobab trees. But there’s also plenty of lion, elephant, and zebra to discover here.

Add Some Options to Your Safari

Think you’d like to spend more time at the Masai Mara or the Serengeti?  We can easily add a day at either of these magnificent parks and skip our stop at Lake Victoria. The choice is yours – just let your safari expert know your wishes (extra cost for this substitution).

Now it’s back to Kenya and Nairobi. Or if you’d like to add some serious beach time for a safari extension, we’ll bring you to Arusha for the easy flight to the sunny shores of Zanzibar.

All-Inclusive. Your 8-Day Discovery Safari includes park entrance fees, accommodations, and meals. Natural World Safaris always offers a wide choice of accommodations. Depending on your budget and style choose from economy, comfort or luxury safari lodges or tented camps.

Your Guide. For your entire 8-day journey you’ll be guided, hosted, and looked after by your own experienced driver/guide. And you’ll enjoy the adventure of your own private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep, the only way to safari.
