Experience trip East Africa Kenya, Safari Highlights, Zanzibar and Victoria Falls

We leave the hustle and bustle of Nairobi behind us and travel south to the Tanzanian border. After the border formalities, we continue to the lively city of Arusha, our base for the night. Northern Tanzania is the home of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Mount Kilimanjaro.

This morning we will be picked up in safari vehicles and leave Arusha early. We drive directly into the Serengeti National Park. In the afternoon we reach our camp in the Seronera region, in the heart of the Serengeti. The camp is located in an impressive landscape with rich wildlife. In the evening we enjoy, with a cool drink, the sounds and the atmosphere of the wilderness right in front of our Meru style tent.

We get up early and spend a whole day on a safari in the Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is famous for its enormous animal density and we keep an eye out all day long for the animals that are at home here.

In the morning we drive towards Ngorongoro Crater. Arrived in the Conservation Area, we go down to the crater floor, where we search the plains for wildlife. After the exploration, we leave the crater and drive the short distance further to Karatu, where we spend the night.

After the departure from Karatu, we visit the Mto wa Mbu Market in the village Mto wa Mbu. The region is known for agriculture, among other things rice and the typical red bananas. The place is located on the main road that connects Serengeti and the Ngorongoro area with Arusha. Today's drive offers varied landscapes, from fertile highlands and coffee plantations around Karatu to open savannas and small villages to the green foothills around Moshi. You relax in the evening, with a view of Kilimanjaro, when the weather cooperates, and with anticipation for the next section of the journey.

Early in the morning we set off and drive towards the coast to Bagamoyo, our accommodation for the night. Today's day is mainly a travel day, along the way you get many impressions of everyday life along one of the most important routes in East Africa. In the evening we prepare ourselves for the Zanzibar adventure that begins tomorrow.

We leave Bagamoyo and drive to Dar es Salaam to the ferry port. With the ferry we cross over to Zanzibar. After the arrival we drive to the east coast of the island, where we spend the next two nights in a beach resort. Relax by the sea, enjoy the infinity pool or explore the surroundings by bike.

Today is a free day. Use the time for excursions and activities on the island or simply relax on the beach and enjoy sun and sea.

In the morning we drive to Stone Town. On the way we participate in a guided spice tour that goes through villages and spice plantations. You see how the workers climb the trees and specifically find plants, and you can buy fresh spices on site. After that, we continue to Stone Town, a historical port city that was once an important stop on the slave and spice trade routes. While walking we discover famous sights, including the birthplace of Freddie Mercury.

We say goodbye to Zanzibar, take the ferry back to the mainland and drive to our accommodation. Overnight stay in Dar es Salaam or in Bagamoyo, depending on the schedule.

We leave the coast behind us and drive inland to Mikumi. Here we will stay for the next two nights. The Mikumi National Park is the fourth largest park of Tanzania and part of an area of about 75,000 square kilometers of wilderness that extends around Selous, Africa's largest game reserve.

Today you have the opportunity to book additional safaris in the Mikumi National Park or to participate in various cultural excursions.

Next it goes to Iringa, a city on a cliff with a view over the Ruaha River Valley. In the center you will find German colonial buildings and a lively market. The Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery commemorates soldiers who fell in local battles during the First and Second World Wars.
Before we reach Iringa, we briefly stop in the Baobab Valley, an impressive landscape with mighty, ancient Baobab trees, perfect for a group photo.

Today we travel further into the Mbeya region. In the afternoon we stop at a local coffee plantation, see the process of cultivation and harvest and can try some beans.

We leave Tanzania behind us, drive down the Great Rift Valley and cross the border into Malawi. Malawi is also called the warm heart of Africa and is known for its natural beauty. Our destination is the shore of Lake Malawi in the northern region. While snorkeling in the clear water, you can see the colorful tropical cichlids up close.

In the morning we get into our truck and drive further south along Lake Malawi. The lake stretches over more than 500 kilometers along the western border of Malawi and is home to more fish species than any other lake. We spend the night directly at the shore of this natural wonder.

Another day at your disposal at the lake. Read a book, enjoy the sun, or use the offers and activities on site.

We experience once again the sunrise at Lake Malawi and drive afterwards further to Zambia to the South Luangwa National Park. After the border crossing, we make a short stop in Chipata and then drive to our camp on the banks of the Luangwa River. In the evening we enjoy a spectacular sunset over the river.

South Luangwa is a first-class safari destination and we have a whole day to explore the park. In the morning you can participate in an optional morning safari drive or in the dry season from April to December in one of the famous walking safaris. In the afternoon we enjoy a sunset drive safari with sundowner. The special opportunity to experience the park at night increases the chance of seeing shy nocturnal animals that are rarely discovered during the day.

We leave the Luangwa Valley and stop at Mulberry Mongoose to see local jewelry and curios. These pieces are handmade by women from the region Southluangwa

Luangwa, from organic materials from the African bush. The region around Chipata is also an important cotton producer and we get an impression of the creativity of the local culture. Overnight stay in the small town of Petauke.

About the Great East Road, an important connection between Lusaka and the neighboring Malawi, we drive through rural Zambia. Along the way, we cross the Luangwa River. Villages, subsistence farms, and wide landscapes shape the route and form a strong contrast to many homelands of our guests.

We cross the south of Zambia and reach Livingstone, the adventure city directly at the Victoria Falls. In the afternoon you can see the mighty waterfalls for the first time, called Musi oa Tunya by the locals, the smoke that thunders. In Livingstone there are many optional activities that can be booked upon arrival. The trip ends with the arrival in Livingstone.
