A signature journey, designed by East African specialists.
Mara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Journey is a 8-day / 7-night cross-border road safari travelling from Nairobi through Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Arusha before concluding in Nairobi. The route combines open savannahs, big-cat country and classic East African wildlife viewing in Masai Mara, vast plains, dramatic wildlife concentrations and one of Africa's most celebrated safari landscapes in Serengeti National Park, and the spectacular crater landscape and concentrated wildlife of the Ngorongoro highlands in Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The cross-border routing is coordinated to connect the neighbouring ecosystems while allowing time for game drives on both sides of the frontier.
