Kenya & Tanzania Adventure

15 Days - from $2043

East African adventure with excellent game viewing and exotic Zanzibar

Kenya and Tanzania are magical destinations with stunning scenery, abundant wildlife and diverse cultures. From Nairobi we head into the Great Rift Valley: here the two parks of Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru are home to an incredible variety of birds and wildlife including the endangered rhino and elusive leopard plus, in season, a million flamingoes. We include a walk along the Crater Lake and a visit to Elsamere, former home of Joy Adamson. In Tanzania we have spectacular game drives in the Serengeti and explore the Ngorongoro Crater by 4WD. From our base in Moshi we have a variety of optional visits including a challenging hike to Mongyoni Falls. Finally we head to the spice island of Zanzibar, a tropical backwater with beautiful white sandy beaches, a relaxing way to end a fascinating trip.  The Sun - recommends Kilimanjaro with Exodus (28 February 2009).The Sunday Times - writes about the perfect safari in Kenya (12 October 2008).
