Your journey begins in Nairobi with a transfer to Wilson Airport, where you’ll board a scenic bush flight to the Masai Mara National Reserve. As you descend over the sweeping savannah below, your safari truly begins.

Early morning and afternoon game drives offer the best opportunities to spot lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, and more.

As you make your way down, anticipation builds for this extraordinary natural wonder.

The Ngorongoro Crater—often called “Africa’s Garden of Eden”—is home to a remarkable concentration of wildlife. Herds of wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo roam freely, while lions, hyenas, and the rare black rhinoceros are often spotted.
