About this itinerary
The 10-Day Kenya & Tanzania College Safari takes your group beyond Kenya's Masai Mara into Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater — two of the world's most famous wildlife ecosystems in one accessible, group-priced trip. Built for university and college groups ready to go beyond a single-country itinerary, it uses fixed-tent camps, shared 4x4 Land Cruisers, and a dedicated trip coordinator throughout, with a built-in buffer on the border-crossing day so nobody's flight home is put at risk.
