Discover the ultimate East African adventure on this 9-day journey. Travel through Kenya and Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes before ending your trip on the white-sand shores of Zanzibar.
Firstly, Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. Glide across the calm waters of Lake Naivasha, watching hippos surface and vibrant birdlife soar above. Next, continue to Lake Nakuru National Park, where black and white rhinos roam freely and the shores shimmer with thousands of flamingos. Afterwards, the legendary Maasai Mara, home to lions, elephants, and cheetahs.
After exploring Kenya’s wilderness, cross into Tanzania for more unforgettable moments in the Northern Serengeti. You will then follow the movement of migrating herds or spot predators prowling beneath acacia trees.
When the adventure winds down, fly to Zanzibar to rest and recharge. Spend your final days strolling the beaches, sailing on a traditional dhow at sunse, or exploring the spice-scented streets of Stone Town.
The best time to travel is during the dry seasons (June to October and December to February), when wildlife is most active, and the beaches are at their most beautiful.
