Kenya & Tanzania

Graced by snow-capped volcanoes, vast plains of rolling grasslands teeming with game, and endless tracts of bird rich Acacia woodland, East Africa is the quintessential African wildlife safari destination. There are few, if any, wilderness regions on Earth that can hope to offer such a staggering diversity of mammals, while the region also boasts some of the most beautiful birds on the planet!

We currently offer two scheduled departures to the region. On our scheduled Kenya and Tanzania Mega Mammal Safari we visit some of the best game sanctuaries of these two incredible countries, presenting a variety of habitats that range from the game-filled Amboseli to the dry Samburu region and Lake Nakuru, which literally glows pink from millions of flamingos. We also explore the scenically spectacular Ngorongoro Crater brimming with wildlife, and the endless plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania. Our visit is timed for the Wildebeest migration as it heads back north through the Western Corridor of the Serengeti. It is here where the annual rut takes place, with frenzied males attempting to service the half a million females. This tour is perfect for those wanting to combine a complete East African mammal experience with one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth!

On our scheduled Tanzania Serengeti Migration & Ngorongoro Crater tour we traverse some of the best wildlife preserves on earth; the Ngorongoro Crater, fabulous Tarangire National Park and the endless plains of the Serengeti.  Our safari is designed to maximize the East African big game experience and includes an encounter with the great Wildebeest migration as they cross between the southern Serengeti and Ndutu.

While our private tours are customized for each individual's personal requirements, localities that Indri also highly recommends are Lake Manyara, famed for its tree-climbing Lions, and the stunning Arusha National Park, which offers good views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru. The Masai Mara, or the Mara as it is affectionately called, is Kenya's most celebrated reserve, and it boasts an astonishing diversity and amount of game. Unfenced, it is bounded in the east by the Ngama Hills, in the west by the Oloololo or Siria Escarpment, and to the south by the vast Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Famously, the Mara is also the most northerly end of the Great Migration.

For those wanting to add a bit of romance to their travels, Indri recommends heading to the magical Island of Zanzibar. This scented land of coconuts and spices is so idyllic that the Sultan of Oman decided to move the seat of his empire to these shores! Today, the Zanzibar Archipelago is still bathed in the heady scents of cloves and cinnamon, and traditional dhows drift across the horizon. This is primarily a post-tour opportunity to relax and unwind in one of the most unspoiled areas in Africa!
