Itinerary of 7-Day Wildlife Safari in Kenya and Tanzania

1

Arrival in Nairobi, Kenya drive to Lake Nukuru National Park

After landing in Nairobi, the guide will receive and greet you at the airport or Nairobi hotel on the first day of your traditional safari. After briefing you on the details of the entire safari, you will drive to Lake Nakuru National Park, which takes about three to four hours by car. You will travel across the Great Rift Valley Escarpment and pause to take pictures and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. You'll arrive in time to enjoy lunch and check-in. You can take a nap or get ready before going on an afternoon game drive at Lake Nakuru National Park. Along with over 350 other bird species, it is home to migratory flamingos. For the critically endangered black and white rhino species, the park serves as a sanctuary.

2

Drive from Lake Nukuru to Masai Mara National Reserve

Have breakfast early in the morning. Following breakfast, we will check out and depart for Masai Mara, a five-hour journey from Lake Nakuru. Driving around Lake Nakuru National Park on a game drive will be enjoyable. We will arrive at the lodge in time for lunch and check-in. After a full day of relaxation and taking advantage of the lodge's amenities, go out in the late afternoon for an exciting first-game drive in the breathtaking Masai Mara.

 In addition to an amazing variety of large and small animals, the Masai Mara National Reserve is home to friendly locals and breathtaking landscapes. The magnificent Great Wildebeest Migration is well-known in the reserve. From July through October, the Reserve greets more than 1.5 million wildebeests on its vast savannahs.

3

Full Day Game Drive at Masai Mara

After an early breakfast, head out from the hotel with your lunch packed so you can spend the entire day watching wildlife as it moves across the lush, hilly grasslands covered with trees. Our guide will choose an excellent (and safer) location for you to eat lunch at noon. Hear the Mara River's tremendous rush across the savannah, providing life to the park, and hear animals roaring and birds tweeting. After that, in the evening, you will head back to Zebra Plains for a scheduled bush nature walk in a wildlife conservation area with a knowledgeable and expert guide. We will return to your lodge after taking in even more of this never-ending sight.

4

Enjoy the game drive from Masai Mara to Serengeti

Today we will check out from the resort, prepare a picnic lunchbox, and head out for a last-game drive toward the Isebania border. Following immigration requirements and clearance at the Kenya/Tanzania border, you will exchange your car. A member of our Tanzania staff will come pick up you and transport you to your Serengeti resort.

To enter Tanzania, please make sure you have a valid visa, as the processing of your application may take a long time. Even though it takes a while, the driving is breathtaking. For those who are witnessing it for the first time, this will be an amazing moment. You will understand why the name means "endless plains" in the local language as you venture farther into the Serengeti. Along with 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and a variety of antelopes, it is the home of the Great Migration.

We will be stopping along the way for a wildlife drive. Enjoy dinner and your overnight stay after checking into your lodge.

5

Full Day Game drive at Serengeti National Park

Get up early for a wonderful game drive at sunrise. We will spend the full day exploring the Big Five and other animals on the plains of the Serengeti after breakfast. While searching for large cats that are hunting for their morning meal, wonder at how the sun sets on the savannah. You will encounter some of the most famous animals in the world as you wind between kopjes where lions sunbathe, set against the vast grasslands and expansive sky of Tanzania's crown gem. You will spend the night and dinner in the Serengeti.

Your opinions are entirely respected, and this day will be planned by your desires. Your guide will go through the ideal times for you to go on game drives and wake-up calls each day of the safari. For instance, you could go on a game drive in the morning, have lunch and unwind at the camp, and then go on another game drive in the afternoon. An alternative would be to go on a picnic lunch and game drive for the entire day.

 

6

Drive from Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Early in the morning, we will depart from the hotel and travel through the stunning, high-lying farmlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area on our way to the crater. Bring a picnic lunch and set off for a full day of exploration inside the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater.

Encircled by extremely steep walls that rise 610 meters from the floor, Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact caldera in the world. It is regarded as one of the Wonders of the Natural World and a true wildlife paradise. You will encounter the Big Five (the lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard), zebras, hyenas, wildebeest, and so on.  We will ascend 610 meters in the late afternoon and make our way to your Ngorongoro lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

 

7

Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha for final departure:

After eating a satisfying breakfast, we will check out. We will spend an hour at the Mto Wa Mbu village, which provides visitors with an extremely unique experience! The community is home to about 120 different ethnic groups; it's a cross-cultural melting pot with what's likely Tanzania's most unusual collection of languages and customs. Spending time in this community will provide a much-needed break from your safari activities, as it is located in the center of Tanzania's Northern Safari Circuit.

Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara are both extremely near to Mto Wa Mbu Village in the Great Rift Valley. The town lies on the main road that connects the Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area and the Serengeti National Park, amidst breathtaking scenery

    Location Detail

    Description of the Location

    The Masai Mara National Reserve is  a protected wilderness region in the southwest Kenya, near the Tanzanian border, sits t. The environment of the Masai Mara is characterized by its huge sweeping plains, solitary thorn trees, and distant purple highlands. The sunsets are among the most striking you'll ever witness, and this is the stuff that makes Out of Africa worthy. Elephants destroyed countless trees over the course of centuries, leaving very few standing.

    There are easy ways to go to the Masai Mara. Before taking a light aircraft to one of the airstrips serving the Masai Mara, you will take a flight to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.

    Covering an area of 14,763 square kilometers (5,700 square miles), the Serengeti National Park is situated in northern Tanzania. The Masai Mara National Reserve and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which is home to the well-known Ngorongoro Crater, are adjacent to it. In addition to some dense woods and scrubby hill areas, the Serengeti is home to a stunning wide savannah. The name "Serengeti" translates to "the land that goes on forever" or "the land that moves forever."

    Arriving here requires a flight to Kilimanjaro International Airport. Spend the night in the vibrant town of Arusha, which serves as the starting point for Tanzania's well-known Northern Safari Circuit.

      What your client say about us.

      Wonderful and unforgettable trip!

      My wife and I wanted to visit Nepal at its best, living, feeling and enjoying this beatiful country and people, in the most possible comfort, safety and relax..but, at the same time, we were not looking for a trip of unnecessary and impersonal luxury, living all the time in an unreal “bubble”. After some research, Tiger encounters was our choice for a 2 weeks trip to Nepal, one week between Karhmandu and Pokhara, and one week safari in Bardia National park.

      Mr. Ghanshyam, owner and director of Tiger Encounters, organized for us the best possible tours and experiences. He suggested and booked the proper premium hotels and lodges, visited the best places with top guides, fantastic choices! From the moment of booking the trip, until the very last minute before boarding our plane to come home, we always had a full and great support. Everything was seamless, spotless and perfect. We lived the best of the Himalaya and the wilderness of Bardia beeing always treated like royals, unbelievable !

      Thank you very much for all the special moments we lived and enjoyed, we will come again for sure !

      Dear Reader, if you are still here, means that you really wish to go to Nepal… in that case, do not hesitate any longer, contact Tiger Encounters right now, you will not regreat it !!!!

      Snow Leopard Expedition in Nepal

      I have to congratulate Ghanshyam on the great organization, from email communications, logistics and all the attention during the tour. Everything was organized in an excellent way and what I really appreciated was the availability and flexibility. I have travelled a lot, but few times have I met an agency so helpful to plan changes on site. Great drivers, careful driving.

      Aashish, our guide, did everything to satisfy every request, always available and kind throughout the trip and very competent even during trekking in search of the Leopard. What about Tashi R. Ghale, a special person, tireless, did everything so that we could realize the dream of sighting the Leopard. It was an honor to meet him and be able to be with him, for me it was one of the best experiences of life. I would have hoped to see the Leopard more closely, but I realize how difficult it is and still being able to hear it during the calls of the mating season was exciting.

      Thank you for everything and I can only recommend this agency “Tiger Encounter”!

      Alessandra FarinaItaly

      The most exciting journey of Snow Leopard and the most perfect service!

      Together with Tiger Encounter we went to Nepal in the Annapurna National Park on the trail of the Snow Leopard and it was a magical experience where everything went smoothly. Organizing the trip of a lifetime is a wonderful challenge, but doing it with passionate, competent, and meticulous people who paid attention to every detail and our every wish, ensuring this was truly the trip of a lifetime, was truly fantastic! We were three of us along with me Alessan & Sandara.

      These people really exist: they are the Tìger Encounter team.

      Professionalism at the highest level, friendliness and respect, always open to any idea and always attentive to our safety.

      You couldn’t ask for more.

      Alberto CerioniReppubblica Italiana

      One of the best tour companies I ever worked with

      I’ve travelled to 50+ countries with dozens of tour operators – Ghanshyam and his team absolutely stood out. This was a demanding photography trip and everything was organised perfectly and flexibly when needed, with a lot of personal attention and excellent guides.

      Bardia and Chitwan Photography Trip

      I have traveled to many places in pursuit of photographing endangered species, and surprisingly, I did not have any images of the Bengal tiger. Many of my friends visited India for tiger safaris, but the crowded and hectic national parks discouraged me. After watching a BBC Planet Earth documentary, I discovered that Bengal tigers also exist in Nepal. Following many email exchanges with different tour operators in Nepal, I chose Tiger Encounter — and I am very happy that I made the right decision.

      Ghanshyam was extremely flexible with my itinerary. I had to change my plans at least twice, and he accommodated every adjustment without hesitation or even a hint of frustration. He personally came to the airport to receive me and introduced me to my guide, Manju, who accompanied me throughout the entire trip. During the journey, Ghanshyam stayed in constant communication with the guide to ensure I was always well taken care of.

      When I book a trip, I highly value creativity, resourcefulness, and flexibility. Not every trip goes perfectly smoothly, so when unexpected situations arise, the way they are handled matters greatly. Ghanshyam earned my trust because he managed every challenge in a way that exceeded my expectations.

      Although I had to cut my trip short, I fully intend to return to Nepal, and Ghanshyam will absolutely be my first choice again.

      With that said, I have no hesitation in highly recommending Tiger Encounter to anyone planning a trip to Nepal.

      Tiger Trip of a lifetime!

      I spent 12 days exploring Nepal with Tiger Encounter and it was one of the most incredible trips in my life. They met us at the airport and didn’t leave our side the entire trip. Extremely organized and professional and I’m already planning on coming back. Best way to see tigers in the wild! Couldn’t recommend them enough.

      Tiger Safari in Bardia & Red Panda Trekking

      I really wanted to find a local company who could make a personalised itinerary for my husband and I to do red panda trekking and a safari in Bardia National Park to see tigers (among other things). I would highly recommend Tiger Encounter for any trip to Nepal, but especially if you’re looking to encounter wildlife.

      Ria & PeterNew Zealand

      Outstanding Service

      We recently returned from a 2 week private wildlife trekking and safari tour with Tiger Encounter, and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. We found them through a Google search and we are so glad that we did – we were so impressed! Tiger Encounter really offer such a personalised service and clearly care about their travellers.

      Great Experience with Tiger Encounter

      Excellent safari in Chitwan and Bardia. Very professional company and we were looked after really well. Communication was easy and fast response. The guides on the safaris were brilliant and the accommodation was excellent. Can’t rate them highly enough.

      Susan Joy BrownUnited Kingdom

      The absolute best there is

      I’ve been to 28 different countries and countless safaris over the world- let me tell you that this is the standard for every other safari I’ve been on since! The attention to detail, the absolute love and care of the guides, and the tour operator’s genuine wish for you to have the best experience possible made this one of the most amazing tours/safaris I’ve been on.

      It was just as amazing to meet the locals and meet the Tharu people as it was to see the rhino and to be close up with an elephant!! (And That tiger that kept in front of our raft to cross the river!!) As an experienced traveler, take my word that you will have a genuinely wild and carefree adventure!!!???

      Had the most wonderful and life changing experience with Tiger Encounter. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Mr. Sharma (owner) who had accompanied me as my guide throughout my adventure. They had planned everything so well and truly make you feel like family. Be it every step of the way from jeep safari, jungle walk, canoe ride, trek through the jungle, mountain trek Mr. Sharma is truly amazing guide, photographer and wonderful motivator.
