Planning a Tanzania Kenya safari Serengeti means you have the best of two countries to choose from. Across Tanzania and Kenya, we operate in over 15 top parks, reserves, and conservation areas. No single guest can see all of them in one trip – that’s why our itineraries are flexible. Some of our popular itineraries start from Nairobi JKIA with first night in Nairobi, while others start in Nairobi and end in Arusha / Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) to Zanzibar or return flight home. You choose attractions based on your days, interests, and budget.

1. TANZANIA ATTRACTIONS WE OFFER

Across Tanzania, these are the attractions available for your Tanzania Kenya safari Serengeti. Your final itinerary will include 3-5 of them, not all:

b) Tarangire National Park – Available

Famous for 3,000 elephants and giant baobab trees. Best in dry season (June-Oct). We offer it as an option for guests who love elephants and want to avoid crowds. Featured in our 12-Day Kenya Tanzania Safari.

c) Lake Manyara National Park – Available

Known for tree-climbing lions, flamingos, and groundwater forest. A great half-day addition between Tarangire and Ngorongoro for bird lovers and photographers. Offered as optional extension.

d) Arusha National Park – Available

Near Arusha town. The only park where we can offer walking safari and canoeing, with Mount Meru views, colobus monkeys, and Momella Lakes. We offer this for guests who start their safari in Arusha/JRO and have an extra day before crossing to Kenya.

e) Ngorongoro Conservation Area – Included in Most Itineraries

World’s largest intact caldera with 25,000 animals including rare black rhino. Included in almost all our Tanzania Kenya safari Serengeti routes as it’s on the way to Serengeti.

f) Tanzania Beach Extension – Zanzibar Only

For beach, we offer only Tanzania beaches – Zanzibar (Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje). White sand, Stone Town culture. We fly you from Arusha/JRO to Zanzibar after safari. We intentionally do not offer Kenya beaches – we keep your beach extension in Tanzania for better value and connection. More on all parks at Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA).

2. KENYA ATTRACTIONS WE OFFER

3. How We Build Your Itinerary – You Don’t See Everything, You Choose

Important to understand: No guest sees all attractions above in one trip. That’s impossible in 11 or 12 days. What we do is: We show you the full catalogue of attractions we operate in across Tanzania and Kenya. You tell us your days, interests (elephants? birds? culture?), and start/end point (Nairobi JKIA, Arusha, JRO, Zanzibar). We then build a custom route that includes 5-7 best-fit attractions.

Some of our popular itineraries start from Nairobi JKIA: Example – Nairobi (1 night) – Amboseli – Tarangire – Ngorongoro – 3 days Serengeti – Masai Mara – end Nairobi. See: 12-Day Kenya Tanzania Safari

Other popular itineraries start in Nairobi and end in Arusha / JRO to Zanzibar or return home: Example – Nairobi – Amboseli – Tarangire/Manyara – Ngorongoro – Serengeti – Mara – end Arusha/JRO for Zanzibar flight. See: 11-Day Package ending in Arusha/JRO
