Explore East Africa!

The Explore East Africa, 14-night, 15-day tour provides the optimum time and opportunity to see and experience the very best! Beginning in Tanzania, you will soon arrive in Arusha, where your hotel presents a view of Mount Meru.

Your third day will be at the Lake Manyara National Park, located along the Rift Valley escarpment. Lake Manyara National Park, an amazing jungle-like atmosphere within the forest, contains huge herds of buffalo, zebra and wildebeest. In perpetual migration, the Park has an abundance of pink flamingoes.

On your fourth and fifth day, you will stay at the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge, where you can view the crater floor from your terrace. There is a day-long crater tour, including a picnic lunch. There, you will start by visiting the Ngorongoro Crater, which is the largest in the world– 3188 meters above sea level, 610 meters deep, covering an area of 325 square kilometers. The area surrounding the crater contains the most dense wildlife population in the world.

Your sixth, seventh and eighth days will be at the world-famous Serengeti Game Reserve. After a stop at the prehistoric Olduvai Gorge, you can take part in the twice-daily game drives, accompanied by experienced guides, giving you the opportunity to have up-close viewing of the wildlife.

The ninth day is a day for your own personal leisure, to catch up on relaxation; and you will stay the night at the fabulous Norfolk Hotel.

You will then have two days at the Samburu Game Reserve. While here, you will stay at the Samburu Serena Lodge, overlooking the crocodile-and-hippo filled Uaso Nyiro River. The twice-daily game drives at the Reserve are a bit different– you will experience being in the presence of wildlife that are quite familiar with tourists and seem to have no objection to being photographed!

Your next stop will be for three days at the Masai Mara Game Reserve, which is Kenya's most outstanding wildlife sanctuary. In addition to more than a million wildebeest and approximately 250,000 zebra, the Masai Mara Game Reserve contains a wide variety of birdlife, mongoose, giraffe, leopard, black rhino, hippo, hyena, gazelle, buffalo, and lion. You will also visit the Maasai Village and be instructed in the culture and lifestyle of the Maasai people.

On your final day of this tour you will lunch at the Carnivore, a game restaurant, and have the remainder of the day for leisure at the Norfolk Hotel before boarding your flight to return home.
