Day 2: Nairobi to Maasai Mara
After an early breakfast, drive to the world famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve arriving in time for lunch.  Maasai Mara, Kenya’s greatest wildlife reserve, is without a doubt Africa’s most famous safari destination. The Maasai Mara Ecosystem is where over two million wildebeest and zebra migrate annually.  It also holds one of the highest lion densities in the world, which is why it the home of the BBC wildlife channel’s Big Cat Diary.  Other game includes: leopard, cheetah, buffalo, rhino, elephant, giraffe, zebra, lion, plains game, crocodile and small mammals including mongoose, hyrax, dik dik and the nocturnal porcupine.  Enjoy a late afternoon game drive followed by dinner.
Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Approximate driving time: 5 1/2 hours

Day 3: Maasai Mara
Spend a full day game driving in the Maasai Mara. The abundance and variety of game in this reserve is nothing short of amazing. Nearly every mammal can be seen in the Maasai Mara, including various antelopes, scavengers like hyena and vultures, and all the cats (lion, cheetah and leopard).  Sighting a leopard needs luck more than just being there, but lions are abundant and there are excellent chances for spotting cheetah. The hippo pool is a popular spot to watch out for hippos; with luck, you may catch crocodile basking on the rocks. Elephants, buffalo, the Masai giraffe, wildebeest and the common zebra abound.  In the afternoon there is the option to visit a Maasai village to learn about their traditions and culture. Return to the camp for dinner and overnight.  

You might want to add one of the following experiences to your trip:

• Bush breakfast, lunch and/or dinner

• Sundowners

• Nature walks

• Ballooning

• Spa treatments

Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 4: Maasai Mara to Nairobi
A late start to return to the Kenyan capital for an overnight stop.

Day 5: Nairobi to Amboseli
This morning drive to Amboseli National Park nestled at the foothills of Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Amboseli is a top destination in Kenya for wildlife. Indeed, one of the classic images of East Africa is that of a herd of elephant strolling across the plains with the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro in the background. It is to catch this sight that people flood to Amboseli National Park. While Kilimanjaro is actually across the border in Tanzania, Amboseli has a perfect view of the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, rising an impressive 5895 metres above the plains.
Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Approximate driving time: 5 hours

Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Approximate driving time: 6 hours

Day 7: Lushoto to Dar Es Salaam

Leave early to avoid the madness of Dar’s traffic.  It’s not the capital of Tanzania, but it is the largest city and a major port for East Africa.  Dar Es Salaam translates to “Haven of Peace”, which may have been true once, but now it’s a bustling city.  Your accommodation is on the outskirts, across the river, where it’s a bit quieter and you can enjoy the beach.
Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Approximate driving time: 6 1/2 hours

Day 8: Dar Es Salaam to Zanzibar
The ferry leaves in the morning for a 3 hour journey across to Zanzibar, the island of exciting travel tales of old.  Our local guide will take care of you for the duration of your stay in Zanzibar, meeting you at the ferry terminal and escorting you to your hotel.  The guide can organize any of the optional activities available in Zanzibar including a Spice Tour, diving, snorkeling, boat trips to various islands and transfers up to the Northern beaches.
