Description

Boasting incredible scenery as well as some of the best wildlife watching anywhere on earth, a Kenya and Tanzania safari should be at the top of anyone's bucket list!

Over the course of this 11-day trip, we will visit six national parks and reserves, getting the chance to see incredible wildlife and some of East Africa's beautiful scenery.

Making a giant loop south of Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, we will begin with a quick visit to Lake Nakuru, where we will visit a rhino sanctuary that is home to 100 endangered white and black rhinos. We will also head to the shores of the unique lake to see the incredible population of hot pink flamingos.

From Lake Nakuru, we will head to Masai Mara, where we will get the chance to see the famed Big Five – lions, African elephants, Cape buffalos, leopards, and rhinoceros – and (from June to October) may have the chance to witness the famed wildebeest migration, when two million of the bovidae cross the serengeti.

After Masai Mara, we will cross the border into Tanzania and visit the vast Serengeti National Park. Here, we will go on even more game drives to see more of wildlife and enjoy the stunning beauty of the grasslands.

The tour continues on to one of the highlights of the trip: Ngorongoro reserve, the eighth wonder the natural world!

We will descend into the massive crater, which sprawls over 264 square kilometers (102 sq miles) and boasts natural cliff walls that are 600 meters high (2,000 feet). Here, we will explore forests, plains and lakes, getting the chance to see just about every species of animal native to East Africa!

From Ngorongoro, we will continue east across the savannas of Tanzania and then Kenya, visiting Lake Manyara before finishing the trip in Ambroseli National Park and then returning to Nairobi.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
