	East Africa is endowed with rich wildlife and culture making it hard for a first time visitor to sample in a short time. This safari is best for linking Kenya and Tanzania attractions. Amboseli national park on Kenya side is one of the most scenic parks, home to hundreds of game and the only park that houses elephant research which has spanned over three decades. Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater are the main spectacles not to be missed by any visitor aspiring to experience the true African beauty. Day 1: Depart from Nairobi in the morning and drive through plains occasionally spotting Masai warriors herding their cattle among wildlife. Arrive in time for afternoon game drive in Amboseli National park, home to diverse wildlife and bird species inhabiting the plain and marshlands. It is on the foot of Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in the continent, offering a memorable background for wildlife photo shoots. A perfect opportunity to enjoy the mountain without having to climb it. Overnight in tents. Day 2: Early morning game drive to view more game - wildlife are very active in the morning before the heat of the day. Return for breakfast and later visit a Masai village for a cultural exchange. Masai people have overcome odds by sticking to their way of life in spite of ever-changing lifestyle. Proceed on to catch a shuttle bus at the border for Arusha to arrive for overnight in a hotel. Day 3: Leave Arusha (a fast growing town in Africa hosting the Tribunal for Rwanda genocides) in the morning and head for Ngorongoro crater. Arrive in time for afternoon game drive in the crater. Ngorongoro crater is considered to be one of the 8th wonders of the world. It offers a natural enclosure for wildlife, most of which are permanently ‘fenced’ in the crater. Animals found here include lions, the endangered rhinos, cheetah, leopards etc. It has been awarded World Heritage status. Overnight in tents on the crater rim. Day 4: Morning game drive to spot more wildlife before leaving for Serengeti. Arrive in Serengeti for afternoon game drive en route to the camp. Serengeti comes from the Masai word meaning vast or endless plain. The plains stretch to the horizon, giving the illusion that you are seeing the four corners of the earth. Overnight in tents. Day 5: Full day game drive. Serengeti is home to millions of migrating wildebeests often attracting hundreds of predators hunting for food. Other wildlife to see are lions, cheetah, leopards, elephants and more. Overnight in tents. Day 6: Leave in the morning with game drive en route to Lake Manyara. On the way we stop at Olduvai gorge. This is where Leakey’s family discovered Stone Age tools and remains of the early man who helped shaped the evolution of man. This is an opportunity to experience first hand the development of early man to the modern thinking man. Later proceed to Lake Manyara to relax in a camp. Day 7: Select from two options. Option I (game drive): Visit Lake Manyara for further game drive. Lake Manyara is renown for tree climbing lions and hundreds of elephant concentrations.

This small town of about 200,000 people have all the representatives of all the 120 tribes of Tanzania.
