7 Days Kenya and Tanzania Safari
This 7 Days Kenya and Tanzania safari leads you to one of the most visited safari destinations on African safaris; that is, a visit to the Maasai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. This trip often involves starting in Nairobi, Kenya, with a few days of game drives in Kenya before crossing into Tanzania for extra game drives in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. It usually ends in Arusha, Tanzania, or returns to Nairobi.
