Overview

Your trip at a glance

Seven days across Kenya and Tanzania, with Amboseli, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro, plus time for border travel and an Arusha departure.

Combine Amboseli’s elephant country with three northern Tanzanian wildlife areas on a private seven-day journey. Two Amboseli nights are followed by an Arusha stop, two Karatu nights and a final Arusha night after the crater. The route avoids combining immigration formalities with a rushed park visit. Separate Kenyan and Tanzanian guides coordinate at Namanga. Travel documentation for both countries must be arranged before departure.

Price and booking basis

From US$2,900 per adult, based on two adults travelling together in a private safari vehicle and sharing mid-range twin/double accommodation. 7 days and 6 nights. Starting rates apply outside peak holiday and migration-season dates; the booking quote confirms the travel dates, lodge selection and applicable supplements.

Accommodation is confirmed at booking, with equivalent alternatives offered where required. Meals and activities included are shown in the daily itinerary. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.
