The journey
About this itinerary
The 13-Day Kenya & Tanzania Small Group Safari is built around exclusive-use conservancies and capped vehicle numbers rather than the busiest reserve circuits — Samburu's dry-country wildlife in the north, private Masai Mara conservancies away from the crowds, then across into Tanzania for the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire's elephant herds and ancient baobabs. Small groups mean fewer people per vehicle and a more flexible daily pace, on the same shared 4x4 Land Cruisers and dedicated trip coordinator as our other safaris.
Highlights
- — Samburu's rare northern species — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe and gerenuk
- — Exclusive-use Masai Mara conservancies with off-road access and night drives
- — A land border crossing into Tanzania with a built-in safety buffer
- — Full-day Serengeti game drives and a full descent into the Ngorongoro Crater
- — Tarangire's elephant herds and ancient baobab-studded plains
- — Capped group size for a more personal, flexible pace throughout
