A fast-paced, high-impact journey through East Africa’s predator heartland
Itinerary Overview
This 5-day safari takes you through two of Africa’s most iconic game parks: the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya. You’ll move quickly, but not hurried. The landscapes shift, the herds move, and every day carries its own pulse — lions at sunrise, wildebeest crossing, cheetahs stalking, and sunsets that stay with you. It’s a condensed story, but unforgettable.
Tour Summary
Day 1: Arusha to Serengeti – Afternoon Game Drive
You depart Arusha in the morning, either by road or a quick flight into the Serengeti. The moment you enter the park, it begins — giraffes browsing, hyenas on the move, elephants in no hurry.
After check-in and lunch, you head out for your first game drive. The land is wide. The sightings come fast. And by sundown, you’re not the same.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation:
Day 2: Full-Day Safari in Serengeti
Wake up before the sun. You’ll explore new parts of the park, following predators, scanning riverbanks, pausing under acacias. The Serengeti is about movement — not just animals, but light, wind, silence.
You stay out all day with a picnic lunch, returning to camp just before the stars arrive.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 3: Serengeti to Masai Mara – Cross the Isebania Border
Today, you bid farewell to Serengeti with great memories. Immediately after breakfast, your driver guide shall pick you and get on on a transfer drive to Kenya via Isebania border. Upon arrival, your tour guide shall help you to conclude the immigration before handling you over to the Kenya safari guide. You shall then immediately embark on a drive to Masai Mara lodge arriving in the early evening just in time for relaxation and overnight.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 4: Full-Day Safari in Masai Mara
This is big cat country. You’ll head out early and spend the day tracking lions, cheetahs, leopards — and watching herds move through the savannah of Masai Mara.
The Mara is a place of drama and impressive sightings in the shortest time possible. A wildebeest crossing might happen depending on your time of visit. A kill might unfold. Or maybe a quiet moment — a lion cub stretching in the sun — the memories here stay with you longer than anything else.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation Options:
Day 5: Morning Game Drive – Transfer to Nairobi
Before departing Masai Mara, you shall have one last game drive in the morning to sight some other exciting games in the other side of Masai Mara— soft light, long shadows, final sightings. Then, after breakfast, begin your journey back to Nairobi arriving by late afternoon and transfer to your hotel or airport for your onward flight back home.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
