This 14-day journey pairs the best of East Africa's wildlife circuits with a well-earned beach escape. The adventure begins in Amboseli National Park, renowned for close encounters with free-ranging elephants and stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, followed by a stop at Lake Naivasha for a hippo boat ride or a hike at Hell's Gate. From there, travelers head to the Maasai Mara, with three days of game drives in search of the Big Five and, seasonally, the wildebeest migration, plus an optional hot air balloon ride. The safari then crosses into Tanzania, visiting the Serengeti for a full day of game viewing before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day crater tour. The trip concludes with a flight to Zanzibar for four days of beach relaxation.
