BEST OF KENYA AND TANZANIA
 

     


Nothing can compare to sitting around a blazing campfire at night, under a canopy of stars in a spectacular wilderness area, listening to the sounds of Africa. Adventures generally appeal to the 25 – 60 year age group, who are active and have an interest in nature and the outdoors.


PARTICIPATION CAMPING ADVENTURES
On a participation camping adventure your participation and involvement is part of the fun. You assist the guide with the making and breaking of camp, quickly and easily erecting and dismantling your tent and other bush camp essentials. A camp assistant/ cook helps with the cooking.









Best of Kenya and Tanzania
Participation Camping
SAMBURU/NAKURU /MASAI MARA /TARANGIRE /SERENGETI /NGORONGORO
15 DAYS: NAIROBI TO NAIROBI
(2 NIGHTS HOTEL & 12 NIGHTS CAMPING)

The spectacular Rift Valley, with the wide-open plains of East Africa stretched before you.

On this stunning safari we take in some of the very best of Kenya’s Big Five game viewing National Parks and its outstanding tribal people and scenery, including Samburu National Reserve, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara.

The National Parks and reserves of northern Tanzania need little introduction to wildlife enthusiasts. The vast Serengeti National Park, is arguably the finest reserve on the continent, home to millions of plains animals and a profusion of predators. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world, whilst Lake Manyara is one of the most diverse of Tanzania's National Parks with a Rift Valley Lake, dense woodlands and steep mountainside. Add to this, Mount Meru, Africa’s fifth highest mountain, at 4566 m, which dominates the horizon when visiting the bustling town of Arusha.

This safari explores Africa's tribal people and its wildlife unchallenged in their diversity.
