Great Migration — Plan your dates and camp region around seasonal possibilities. Herd locations and river crossings cannot be guaranteed.
Tarangire — Finish your safari among baobab landscapes and wildlife habitats before your transfer to JRO.

Overnight: Lake Nakuru. Meals: Lunch and dinner.
After breakfast, travel to the Masai Mara. Settle into your lodge or camp and enjoy an afternoon game drive if arrival time and park access allow.

Spend the day exploring the reserve with your guide. Choose a full-day drive with a picnic lunch or morning and afternoon outings according to the agreed plan, park rules and conditions.

Enjoy another day for wildlife viewing without changing accommodation. Your guide plans the drives around your interests and current sightings. A balloon safari can be quoted separately, subject to availability. Migration movements and river crossings are never guaranteed.
Overnight: Masai Mara. Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Depart early for a substantial road-transfer day. Complete immigration formalities at Isebania/Sirari and meet your Tanzania driver-guide under the arrangements in your proposal. Continue towards your booked Serengeti camp. Travel and border processing take priority today; a separate game drive is not promised.
Overnight: Serengeti. Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch and dinner.
Explore the Serengeti region surrounding your booked accommodation, with a picnic lunch or a return to camp as arranged. Camp location is selected for your dates and interests; a distant migration region is not assumed to be reachable on a day trip.
Overnight: Serengeti. Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
A second full day gives you more time for wildlife, photography and changing landscapes. Discuss your priorities with your guide and enjoy the flexibility of staying in the same camp. Wildlife sightings remain unpredictable.
Overnight: Serengeti. Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Leave the Serengeti and travel towards the Ngorongoro area, with game viewing en route where permitted. Settle into your agreed lodge in the crater area or Karatu. An Olduvai Gorge visit is optional, separately quoted and dependent on timing.
Overnight: Ngorongoro area or Karatu. Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Start early for your included crater descent and game drive within the permitted visiting period. After the crater visit and lunch, continue towards your Tarangire accommodation. This is a busy travel day; a separate Tarangire game drive is planned for Day 10.
Overnight: Tarangire area. Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Enjoy an early Tarangire game drive when your flight schedule allows, then transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Book an evening departure only after PMK confirms the timing. An early flight requires a revised final-day plan or an additional airport-area night, quoted separately.
Overnight: None; departure from JRO. Meals: Breakfast and packed lunch.
Your safari is planned around your party, with dedicated guiding and coordinated cross-border transfers.
Our Nairobi team organizes the Kenya and Tanzania portions as one clear itinerary.
Your quote explains accommodation, park fees, transport, border transfers and optional upgrades.
The safari includes 10 days and 9 nights: 1 night Lake Nakuru, 3 Masai Mara, 3 Serengeti, 1 Ngorongoro/Karatu and 1 Tarangire.
The route starts in Nairobi and finishes at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) in Tanzania. International flights and any pre-safari Nairobi night are separate.
Request a quote for your dates, party size, rooms and preferred lodges. Your proposal itemises accommodation, meals, park entries, one crater descent, transport and the border arrangements.
The Kenya and Tanzania stages use private guiding and coordinated vehicle handovers. Your written proposal identifies the border meeting arrangements and contacts.
The migration is seasonal and moves across a large ecosystem. Camp location matters. Herds, river crossings and particular wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Ask PMK to confirm the Day 10 game drive and airport transfer timing before buying a flight. An early departure requires a revised itinerary or an extra airport-area night at additional cost.
Discuss your dates and priorities with the PMK team. Request this itinerary, compare Kenya safari packages, or explore the destination pages and safari cost guide.
We'll customise this itinerary to match your interests, dates and budget.
Compare quieter Kenya landscapes with Tanzania wildlife destinations. Choose the route around your dates, interests and time in each park.
