Explore Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Amboseli on a 7-day Tanzania–Kenya safari from Arusha to Nairobi with elephants, rhinos, wildlife and Kilimanjaro views.
Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater & Amboseli National Park
The 7-Day Tanzania–Kenya Wildlife Discovery Safari is a cross-border journey connecting three distinctive wildlife destinations in Tanzania and Kenya.
Starting in Arusha and ending in Nairobi, the safari combines the diverse habitats of Lake Manyara National Park, the volcanic landscapes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the open plains of Amboseli National Park.
Rather than following the more commonly promoted Serengeti–Maasai Mara combination, this itinerary focuses on a different side of East Africa. Travelers experience groundwater forests, Rift Valley scenery, a volcanic crater, seasonal wetlands and open savannah, with opportunities to see elephants, big cats, rhinos, hippos and a wide range of birdlife.
The safari is particularly suitable for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, birdwatchers, couples, families and repeat visitors to East Africa who want a varied Kenya–Tanzania experience.
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, and conditions vary by season, but the combination of Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Amboseli provides a strong mix of habitats and wildlife experiences.
