Overview

Experience a 14-day, once-in-a-lifetime safari journey across the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya. The Great African Migration is one of the world’s most breathtaking natural spectacles as massive herds of buffalo, zebras, antelopes, and their predators trek across the plains. Experience expert-led safari game drives, see Mount Kilimanjaro and visit Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Victoria and more. 

Your journey begins in Nairobi, Kenya, before immersing yourself in the natural wilderness of Amboseli National Park. Join safari game drives led by expert safari rangers and trackers to seek out Amboseli’s large elephant herds beneath breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Next, descend into the world’s largest volcanic caldera to explore the UNESCO-listed Ngorongoro Crater, a natural wildlife sanctuary. Bubbling springs and sweeping grasslands make this the ideal location to spot the Big 5 - lions, leopards, rhinos, cape buffalos and elephants. 

Cross to Tanzania and into the boundless Serengeti Plains to witness the Great African Migration. An estimated 1.5 million wildebeest, buffalo, zebras and gazelles move in search of fresh grazing lands. Following close behind are their predators - lions, cheetahs and crocodiles. Recharge and unwind on the shores of Lake Victoria with a day at leisure in Mwanza before crossing back into Kenya for the untamed raw beauty of the Masai Mara National Park. Keep your camera ready for a wealth of wildlife sightings, including elephants, giraffes, hippo, antelope and a whole host of birdlife. Top it all off with an optional sunrise hot air balloon experience (charges apply) high above these wildlife-rich plains, before your flight back home.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide: 
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 

Tour Leader: 
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined.

• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules are subject to change. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination/s you are visiting once you receive your travel documentation to ensure you have the most up to date information.
• It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure that you are aware and comply with any destination or travel requirements, including the validity of all required travel documents.
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.

Supplier Fees
In the event the tour package you have purchased is unable to proceed, and/or a Travel Supplier is unable to fulfil the tour due to external circumstances (Limitation of Liability e.g. a Force Majeure event), there may be a fee or amount of money that is withheld by our Suppliers and is unrecoverable. This may be due to non-refundable airline tickets, cancellation penalties with cruise cabins or unrecoverable payments with our land/accommodation partners.
