This 9-night dual-country safari combines Kenya's Masai Mara with Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti — three of Africa's greatest wildlife arenas. From Nairobi you take in Lake Nakuru and the Mara before crossing into Tanzania for a full-day game drive in the wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater and morning-and-afternoon drives across the iconic Serengeti, finishing in Arusha. Intra-Africa flights between the Mara and Serengeti save long overland transfers. You stay in 4- and 5-star tented camps and lodges with a driver-guide. Honest note: this is a premium, logistics-heavy trip; specific sightings and the wildebeest migration (seasonal) are never guaranteed, days start early, and high-altitude Ngorongoro can be cool. For serious wildlife travellers, the combination of these reserves is hard to surpass. starting at INR 3,80,000 per person. Covers Nairobi 1N, Lake Nakuru 1N, Masai Mara 2N, Ngorongoro 2N, Serengeti 2N, Arusha 1N.
Fly into Nairobi, clear immigration and transfer to your hotel. Settle in after the journey and take an easy evening to rest. Your guide briefs you on the safari ahead across two countries. Prepare neutral clothing, warm layers for Ngorongoro, sun protection and binoculars.
Drive into the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park, with a valley viewpoint en route. Enjoy a game drive around the lake, renowned for flamingos and as a rhino sanctuary, spotting buffalo, giraffe and waterbuck. Check in near the park and overnight.
Drive on to the Masai Mara and check in to your camp. After lunch, head out on an afternoon game drive across the savannah in search of lions, elephants and plains game. The Mara is one of Africa's richest reserves. Return to camp for dinner and an overnight stay under the stars.
A full day of game drives in the Mara, with strong chances of the Big Five and, in season, the wildebeest migration. Your guide tracks predators and herds across the reserve all day. Return to camp for meals, savouring the abundant wildlife, though specific sightings are never guaranteed.
Transfer to the airstrip for an intra-Africa flight into Tanzania's Serengeti, saving a long overland crossing. On arrival, enjoy a game drive across the endless plains famous for big cats and great herds. Check in to your Serengeti camp and overnight amid the iconic wilderness.
A full day exploring the Serengeti with morning and afternoon game drives, seeking lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants and the vast plains game (and migration herds in season). The sheer scale of the ecosystem is unforgettable. Return to camp for meals and an overnight stay.
Drive from the Serengeti towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, perhaps stopping at Olduvai Gorge, a key site in human evolution. Check in to your lodge perched on the crater rim, with sweeping views into the caldera below. Rest at altitude, ready for the crater descent tomorrow.
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full game drive on its floor, an enclosed wildlife haven where you may see lions, elephants, hippos, flamingos and the elusive black rhino. After the drive, journey on to Arusha and check in to your hotel for the final night.
A relaxed day in Arusha to recover from the safari, with time for souvenir shopping for Tanzanite or local crafts, or simply resting at the hotel. Reflect on the wildlife seen across two countries over a final dinner before the journey home tomorrow.
After breakfast, transfer to Kilimanjaro or Arusha airport for your return flight home, completing the Kenya and Tanzania Big Five safari. Allow time for transfers and formalities.
