Package holidays are not our thing.
As a family we are always looking for our own adventure, booking flights, accommodation and tours ourselves and spontaneously. In search of suitable safari partners for our trip to Kenya and Tanzania, we quickly came to appropriate safari tour portals, which are certainly a good alternative to package bookings. The offered tours were often too vague and unclearly described, especially with regard to the location and quality of the accommodations.
So we were glad that we got contact with local guides through Kenyan friends, who put together quite individual and fair tours in Kenya as well as Tanzania at transparent costs. The best part, meanwhile, the two fathers work together closely and allow cross-border safaris in Kenya as well as in Tanzania.
So it is possible to visit the great regions and most famous destinations of the two countries on a safari. Around Nairobi there are some national parks for day trips, as well Nairobi National Park. Lake Nakuru with hippos and 450 species of birds, including 90 waterfowl.Masai Mara National
Park, from where you can see the Wildbeast migration
Best observed in July and August or January and February. On the Mara River,
also called blood flow, into that Mara Triangle
with a magnificent landscape and wildlife.
The Border crossing
from Kenya's part of the Serengeti to Tanzania Isebania
is located west of the Mara Triangle National Park and the ride there is unique over long distances. The handover at the border point is precisely coordinated between the two tour guides. They help you with the customs formalities, so that it continues after about 1 hour while the luggage is reloaded.
From there it goes through small villages south-southeast to the entrance gate of the Serengeti National Parks.
There is nothing more indescribable than a night at the camp in the seemingly endless Serengeti. At night, glowing in the sparkling eyes of the hyenas roaming the camp, listening to the roaring of lions at dawn, or watching peacefully grazing zebras eating breakfast.
From there you come to the south
Ngorongoro Crater, made famous for its biodiversity by the naturalist Prof. Grzimek and his son Michael. Outside of these most famous national parks, most of them visit
Arusha
from the
Kilimanjaro National Park
or the
Tarangire National Park
,
This way you can follow the path of the wildebeest within 8-10 days and experience the various vegetation zones with cloud forests and coffee plantations, steppes and savannas.
