Why Choose This Kenya and Tanzania Safari?
A 7 Days Masai Mara Serengeti Safari allows you to experience two of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife ecosystems before finishing at Ngorongoro.
Masai Mara is famous for its abundant wildlife and connection to the Great Migration ecosystem. Serengeti continues the experience across the border, offering vast plains and exceptional opportunities to observe predators and large herbivore herds.
Ngorongoro adds a completely different environment, with its spectacular crater landscape and high concentration of wildlife.
Combining these destinations in one itinerary creates an exciting cross-border safari experience without requiring a very long trip.

Your professional guides will use their local knowledge and current wildlife information to maximize your opportunities for memorable sightings.
Great Migration Experience
The Masai Mara and Serengeti form part of the wider ecosystem through which millions of wildebeest, zebras and other herbivores move in response to rainfall and grazing conditions.
The timing and location of the migration changes throughout the year. Crossings and specific herd locations are never guaranteed because the animals move naturally.

A key feature of this 7 Days Masai Mara Serengeti Safari is the overland journey between Masai Mara and Serengeti through the Isebania border.
Your safari team will provide guidance during the border transition. Travelers should have the required travel documents and visas for both countries where applicable.
Border procedures and travel times can vary, so the itinerary allows flexibility around the crossing.

Your safari is designed around a private 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof, providing excellent visibility for wildlife viewing and photography.
Experienced guides will accompany you during the safari and provide information about wildlife, ecosystems, conservation and local landscapes.
A private safari also provides greater flexibility compared with a fixed group itinerary.
