Dates & Prices

The amazing vistas of East Africa unfold every day on this classic East African safari. Elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes - and of course the great herds of wildebeest and zebra crossing the plains in search of new grass - are all part of the game viewing experience in store on this 10-day safari. We have combined road and light aircraft flights to maximize your time on the ground, soaking in the incredible wildife of East Africa.

This private safari operates with as few as 2 people traveling together - and makes a perfect family or friends safari. 6 is a perfect number for your private vehicle, but if you have more in your party, no problem. We can always add vehicles.

Along the way, you'll stay in excellent four-star tents and lodges, all set in prime locations for game viewing. For example, Kilima Safari Camp sits near the Kimana Gate on its own site, with stunning views of towering Mount Kilimanjaro. Fig Tree Camp sits on the banks of the Talek River, perfect for game watching all year round, but particularly during the migration. Ngorongoro Oldeani Lodge is perched on a hill in the town of Karatu near Ngorongoro, with panoramic views of the surrounding craters and coffee plantations. And in the Serengeti, your camp choice is based on the time of year you travel, so that you are well positioned for the migration as it makes its way across the Serengeti.

Vistas of East Africa is flexible - you can add nights and arrive in Nairobi on any day of the week. The choice is yours.
