The adventure

Nairobi is your gateway to this ten-day adventure that serves up all of Africa's wildness for a decidedly mild price. Here, you'll head out across the acacia-spotted savannah of the Serengeti and the plains of the majestic Masai Mara in search of the Big Five. Our overland adventure vehicle (OAV) will ferry you through the incredible scenery of Kenya and Tanzania safely and in good spirits — and camping will keep you close to the action. With this much stunning African wilderness so close at hand, expect your shutter finger to get a hefty workout.

Traveller reviews

An excellent game viewing experience in the national parks in Kenya and Tanzania. I felt privileged to see animal behavior I had never seen before. Walking through Hell's Gate in the presence of all those animals running free is an experience I will keep forever in my memory.
