Few places provide the extraordinary opportunity to view wildlife in its natural habitat. East Africa`s reputation as the quintessential Kenya and Tanzania safaris destinations are well deserved. This is a region of dramatic contrasts and extraordinary wildlife on display in un-crowded and pristine landscapes of great beauty and variety. It’s hard to rival the range of travel choices Tanzania and Kenya offers from scenic safari or tours to cultural immersion; from lounging on pristine Mombasa and Zanzibar beaches to the adventure Africa travels; from a broad range of sporting activities to an endless list of special interest opportunities.
This is a fantastic and comprehensive safari which visits what we believe are best parks in East Africa. The Masai Mara, Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti National Park and Nakuru National park. Perfectly paced, this safari stretches over 13 days and is excellent for game watching.
The safari starts from Nairobi, goes straight to the Masai Mara and then to Lake Nakuru. Then it heads south to Amboseli and on into Tanzania visiting Lake Manyara, the Serengeti Plains and the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania.
Fall - October to December. Top choice. Short rainy season, so scenic potential with landscapes good. Off-season, so the crowds are down. In the Masai Mara, wildebeest herds may still be in, so river crossings and the migration spectacle is still potentially available. Tanzania - herds are gone, but it is the off-season so crowds are gone, too. Tanzania offers enough without the wildebeest herds so that this is not an issue. Seronera and Bologonja are still with high population of animals.
Winter - January to March. Second choice. Dry season in Kenya, short rains still possible in the lower Serengeti. Kenya offers great predator potential during this lean season. Highest temperatures, but that`s only in the 90`s in the sun; comfortable in the shade. Desert environments like Samburu, Amboseli, Tsavo, may be very hot. Tanzania has the wildebeests migration and the birthing of the gnus occur in late January and early February in the Ndutu plains.
Spring - March to May/June. Rainy season for both areas. Grass is extremely high. Bird activity in the dry areas may be best. Game viewing in the high grasses can be extremely difficult. Crowds are reduced, and great rates/bargains may be possible. I won`t go during this season -- I personally don`t think it is worth it Best time to visit Serengeti - Western corridor where the migration will be kmoving until July and other places like Nakuru, Amboseli National Park but also visiting Tarangire Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater.
Summer - June - September. Third choice. Gnu herds may be in the Mara. Dry season, typically with featureless skies and greatest dust potential. Potentially cooler than you`d ever guess for an equatorial country, so be prepared. Summer vacation season for the northern hemisphere insures maximum crowds. Most of people are now going for race of migration and Mara river crossing. It is time for action; we normally choose the less crowded area for our guests. In Serengeti people chasing the migration while in Maasai Mara they are waiting for them to arrive.
Except for the long rainy season, East Africa -- Kenya, Tanzania-- has a lot to offer. If you can only go in summer, you`ll still love it! If you can go during the other seasons, you`ll only want to return again and again.
