17+ Day Group Travel in Kenya & Tanzania

Step off your scenic bush flight and into the untamed magic of Meru National Park—where lush rivers, acacia woodlands, and the legacy of Elsa the lioness await. After a warm welcome and a gourmet lunch at your secluded lodge, enjoy an afternoon of rest or explore your surroundings. As the golden hour descends, set out on your first game drive, where elephants roam and lions prowl, ending in a dramatic sundowner on the savannah followed by a multi-course dinner beneath the stars.

Wake with the sun for an exhilarating walking safari—feeling the earth beneath your boots as your guide unveils secrets of the bush, from tracks to ancient trees. After a hearty breakfast, enjoy a late-morning game drive through Meru’s pristine terrain, followed by lunch and time to relax at the lodge. In the afternoon, make a moving visit to Elsa’s memorial before heading out once more for an evening drive as the landscape glows in rich amber hues.

A scenic drive takes you to the dramatic landscapes of Samburu National Reserve, home to rare wildlife and rich cultural heritage. Arrive at your luxury lodge perched above the Ewaso Nyiro River, where elephants often wander by as you enjoy lunch and a bit of rest. Later that afternoon, embark on a game drive through rugged terrain, seeking out Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and lions in the golden light of sunset.

The next morning begins with a game drive at dawn, when the animals are most active and the bush feels alive with energy. After breakfast, visit a nearby Samburu village for a respectful and inspiring cultural exchange, gaining insight into the traditions of this proud community. Return to the lodge for lunch and leisure, then head out once again into the wild for a final evening drive and sundowner toast in the shadow of the mountains.

Board a flight to the world-renowned Masai Mara, where your luxury lodge awaits in the heart of big cat country. After lunch and some time to unwind, set out on your first Mara game drive—watching elephants, lions, and wildebeest across golden plains that stretch to the horizon. As the sun sinks low, enjoy a gourmet dinner paired with fine wine and stories around the fire.

Over the next two days, you’ll explore the Mara in full, with morning and afternoon game drives, guided walking safaris, and time to simply soak in the scenery. Between adventures, indulge in a complimentary massage, sip coffee on your private veranda, or enjoy lunch beneath the shade of acacia trees. Every moment here is designed for awe, luxury, and connection to the untamed world around you.

Fly across the border into Tanzania and land in the heart of the Serengeti, where your lodge blends world-class comfort with endless wilderness views. After a warm welcome and a fresh lunch, enjoy an afternoon game drive through wide-open plains teeming with zebra, elephants, and possibly a hunting cheetah. Return to your lodge for sunset cocktails and dinner under the stars.

The next two days are filled with unforgettable moments: a sunrise hot-air balloon ride followed by a champagne bush breakfast, a night game drive to discover the Serengeti after dark, and guided walking safaris to explore up close. Whether you’re watching elephants from the lodge pool or tracking a leopard on the prowl, the Serengeti delivers Africa’s wild magic in its purest form.

Descend from the plains and journey toward Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most breathtaking and wildlife-rich landscapes on the planet. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor surrounded by zebras, flamingos, and perhaps a lion lounging in the grass. Later, arrive at your crater-rim lodge in time for a sundowner with unmatched views over this ancient caldera.

Set off early the next day for a game drive inside the crater, where you’ll encounter a stunning variety of wildlife in a compact, dramatic setting. After your morning adventure, return to the lodge for a late lunch, a glass of wine on the veranda, and time to reflect on the rare beauty of this natural wonder—one of Africa’s most unforgettable places.

After breakfast, your adventure takes a new turn as you trade the wilds of the bush for the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. A short flight from Arusha delivers you to Zanzibar, where you’ll be welcomed at one of the island’s finest beach resorts—an oasis of elegance and tranquility nestled on white-sand shores. Enjoy a relaxed afternoon settling in, with a sunset dinner served beachfront and the sound of waves as your soundtrack.

Over the next three days, time slows down as you indulge in the barefoot luxury of island life. Lounge poolside or on the beach with a cocktail in hand, book a private spa treatment (available à la carte), or snorkel the vibrant coral reefs just offshore. From candlelit dinners under the stars to optional spice tours and dhow cruises, Zanzibar is yours to explore—or to simply savor at your own pace. Every detail of your stay is curated for rest, beauty, and the celebration of an extraordinary journey lived to the fullest.

Enjoy a final breakfast overlooking the sea before your included flight to Nairobi. As you take off, carry with you the memories of wild lands, world-class comfort, and a journey you’ll remember forever—because this time, you held nothing back
