Jambo Africa Safaris

COMBINED TANZANIA + KENYA
The itineraries below can be customized. The northern and central Kenya parks of Samburu, Kora and Aberdares make an excellent combination with those of Tanzania. The Masai Mara is one of the best parks in Africa and is particularly worth a visit during the dry season from July to October. It is only an eight hour drive to the Serengeti; it is recommended to stop a night en route at a lodge in Musoma or on Lake Victoria's Speke Bay Gulf.
