You will then cross from Kenya into Tanzania through the Isebania border before continuing into the Serengeti.

The Tanzanian section of your 6 Days Masai Mara Serengeti Safari includes an exciting full-day Serengeti game drive followed by a journey toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Your final safari experience takes place inside the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, where a remarkable concentration of wildlife can be found within the crater floor.

This itinerary is ideal for couples, families, honeymooners, friends and travelers who want to experience Kenya and Tanzania in one professionally organized safari.

Safari Highlights

Why Choose This Kenya and Tanzania Safari?

A 6 Days Masai Mara Serengeti Safari is an excellent option for travelers who want to experience the highlights of Kenya and northern Tanzania within a limited amount of time.

The Masai Mara and Serengeti form part of the same greater ecosystem and are famous for exceptional wildlife viewing. Depending on the season, you may also have opportunities to witness different stages of the Great Migration.

Adding Ngorongoro makes the journey even more rewarding. The crater offers dramatic scenery and excellent opportunities to observe wildlife in a unique volcanic environment.

Tanzania Crown Safari can customize the itinerary according to your preferred accommodation, travel dates, budget and travel style.

Detailed 6-Day Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Your adventure begins in Nairobi, where you will meet your safari driver-guide and depart for the Masai Mara. The journey takes you through changing Kenyan landscapes, including scenic viewpoints and rural communities. Upon arrival at the Masai Mara, enjoy lunch before beginning your first game drive.

The reserve is famous for its open grasslands and abundant wildlife. During your afternoon game drive, keep an eye out for lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes and possibly cheetahs or leopards. As the sun begins to set, leave the reserve and continue to your safari accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Day 2: Full-Day Masai Mara Game Drive

After an early breakfast, enjoy a full day exploring the Masai Mara National Reserve. The morning is an excellent time for wildlife viewing as many animals are active before the heat of the day.

Your professional guide will take you through different areas of the reserve in search of predators and large herbivore herds. You may encounter lions resting on the plains, elephants moving through the grasslands, cheetahs searching for prey and large groups of wildebeest and zebras.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in a designated area before continuing your afternoon game drive. Later, return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Masai Mara to Isebania Border and Serengeti

After breakfast, depart the Masai Mara and travel toward the Isebania border between Kenya and Tanzania. Your safari team will assist with the border-crossing process and the necessary arrangements before you continue into Tanzania.

After completing the border formalities, meet your Tanzanian safari team and proceed toward Serengeti National Park. As you enter the Serengeti ecosystem, the scenery changes into expansive plains and wildlife-rich landscapes.

Depending on your arrival time, you may enjoy a game drive en route to your lodge or camp. Dinner and overnight will be in the Serengeti.

Day 4: Full-Day Serengeti Game Drive

Wake up early for a full day of wildlife exploration in Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is one of Africa’s most famous safari destinations and offers exceptional opportunities for wildlife viewing.

Your guide will select the best areas to explore based on wildlife activity, recent sightings and seasonal conditions. Search for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and many other species.

Depending on the time of year, you may also have opportunities to see migratory herds. Enjoy a picnic lunch or return to your accommodation for lunch before continuing your afternoon game drive. In the evening, return to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight.

Day 5: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive in the Serengeti before departing toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This gives you another opportunity to see wildlife while gradually leaving the Serengeti plains.

The journey toward Ngorongoro takes you into the cooler highland environment, with changing scenery and spectacular views along the way. Depending on the day’s schedule, you may have time to relax at your accommodation and enjoy the surrounding landscape.

Dinner and overnight accommodation will be in the Ngorongoro or Karatu area.

Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for your final major wildlife experience. The crater is surrounded by dramatic volcanic walls and contains a diverse range of wildlife.

During your crater game drive, you may see lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas and other species. With luck, you may also encounter rhinoceros.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in a designated area before continuing your crater exploration. Later, ascend from the crater and begin your journey toward Arusha, where the safari ends.

Depending on your onward travel arrangements, you can continue to your hotel, airport or another destination.

Wildlife You May See

During your 6 Days Masai Mara Serengeti Safari, you may have opportunities to encounter:

Wildlife sightings are naturally dependent on animal movements, weather and seasonal conditions, so specific sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Big Five Safari Experience

The Big Five are among the major attractions of this 6 Days Masai Mara Serengeti Safari. The term refers to lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros.

Both the Masai Mara and Serengeti provide excellent opportunities to search for these iconic species. Ngorongoro also offers exciting wildlife viewing, including opportunities to see buffalo, lions, elephants and, with luck, rhinoceros.

Your experienced safari guide will use local knowledge to select areas with strong potential for wildlife encounters.

Great Migration Experience

The Masai Mara and Serengeti are central to the annual Great Migration, one of the world’s most remarkable wildlife spectacles.

The exact location of the migrating herds changes throughout the year according to rainfall, food availability and natural animal movements. Therefore, migration sightings and river crossings cannot be guaranteed on a specific date.

If your travel dates are flexible, Tanzania Crown Safari can advise you on seasonal conditions and help design your safari around your interests.

Kenya–Tanzania Border Crossing

This 6 Days Masai Mara Serengeti Safari includes a land crossing between Kenya and Tanzania through the Isebania border.

On Day 3, you will leave the Masai Mara and travel toward the border. After completing the required immigration and entry procedures, you will continue into Tanzania and meet or continue with your Tanzanian safari team.

Your safari team will provide guidance during the transition so that the border crossing is organized as smoothly as possible.

Luxury Accommodation

Accommodation is selected to provide comfort and a memorable connection with the surrounding wilderness.

Depending on your package and availability, you can stay in comfortable safari lodges or luxury tented camps in the Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas.

Accommodation can be customized according to your preferred standard and budget.

Private 4×4 Safari Experience

Your safari can be arranged using a private 4×4 safari vehicle equipped with a pop-up roof. This provides excellent visibility for wildlife viewing and photography.

A private vehicle also gives you greater flexibility during game drives. Your guide can adjust the route and pace according to wildlife sightings and your interests.

Best Time for This Safari

The 6 Days Masai Mara Serengeti Safari can be enjoyed throughout the year, but different seasons offer different experiences.

The dry seasons often provide excellent wildlife viewing because animals may gather around available water sources. Green-season periods can bring lush scenery, dramatic skies and excellent photographic conditions.

For travelers interested in the Great Migration, timing is especially important because the herds move naturally between the Serengeti and Masai Mara according to environmental conditions.
