Highlights of Kenya & Tanzania

(11 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Nairobi, Maasai Mara, Ngorongoro, Singita Grumeti Reserves (Serengeti)

This tour is ideal for those who want to experience Kenya and Tanzania’s top safari destinations and other highlights.

Begin in Nairobi, Kenya’s bustling capital. During private touring, visit the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s Nairobi Nursery, which helps rescue and rehabilitate orphaned elephants and rhinos. Also visit the Karen Blixen House, where the writer of Out of Africa lived, and the Giraffe Centre to learn about and feed endangered Rothschild’s giraffes.

Continue to a private conservancy bordering Maasai Mara National Reserve. Kenya’s most legendary safari destination, Maasai Mara is famed for its stunning scenery and abundance of wildlife. During daily safari drives, look for members of the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and Cape buffaloes—going about their lives on the broad savanna. Other common animals in the Maasai Mara are cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, impalas, gazelles, ostriches, hippos and crocodiles. Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional activities such as hot-air balloon rides, local village and school visits, special meals in the bush and philanthropic activities. Upon request, private charter flights to and from the region can also be arranged.

Next visit spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, a wildlife-filled volcanic caldera that’s part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stay at a luxury lodge perched on the crater rim, and enjoy panoramic views and exciting game drives inside the crater to spot wildlife such as the Big Five and hippos. If desired, Artisans of Leisure can also arrange philanthropic activities or cultural touring in the area, including visits to Maasai villages, local markets, coffee plantations or Oldupai (Olduvai) Gorge.

End your tour in Singita Grumeti Reserves, a private game concession next to Serengeti National Park, and stay at one of the top luxury lodges or camps in East Africa. The region is known for its abundant wildlife—including elephants, leopards and lions—and prime opportunities for viewing the wildebeest migration. Game drives on the private concession offer unfettered wildlife viewing without the crowds of the neighboring park. If desired, also enjoy walking safaris, sundowners in the bush and night game drives. There will also be plenty of time for spa treatments, gourmet meals, wine tasting, cooking classes, tennis, swimming, archery, stargazing, hiking to an anti-poaching outpost and visits to local villages.

Continue to Arusha, where you will be met and assisted to your international departing flight.
