About this itinerary
The 14-Day Kenya & Tanzania Grand College Safari is the flagship of Mellow Safaris' college safari line — five ecosystems in one trip, bookended by Samburu's rare northern wildlife and Amboseli's elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro, with the Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in between. It runs on the same shared 4x4 Land Cruisers, fixed-tent camps and dedicated trip coordinator as our other college safaris, sized for smaller, higher-budget cohorts — university unions, exchange programmes, and diaspora groups planning the trip of a lifetime.
Highlights
- — Samburu's rare northern species — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe and gerenuk
- — Two full days of Masai Mara game drives and a Maasai cultural visit
- — 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
- — Amboseli's elephant herds beneath Mount Kilimanjaro to close the trip
- — One free group-leader seat per 10 paying travellers
Day by Day
