6 Days / 5 Nights Kenya & Tanzania Luxury Safari Safari

6 Days Ndutu Calving Season & Amboseli Safari | Tanzania & Kenya Wildlife Experience

An Unforgettable 6-Day Luxury Safari Experience in Kenya & Tanzania

Safari Overview & Highlights

This 6-day safari begins in Kenya and takes you on a seamless journey across Amboseli and into Tanzania’s Ndutu region during the calving season. Starting in Amboseli National Park, you experience wide open landscapes, large elephant herds, and the iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro. The safari then continues across the border into Tanzania, where the scenery changes into the vast plains of Ndutu, one of the best places to witness the Great Migration during calving season.

In Ndutu, thousands of wildebeest gather to give birth, creating constant wildlife activity and attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. This makes the experience more intense and rewarding, as every game drive offers something different. The journey is designed to flow naturally from Kenya to Tanzania, combining two unique environments into one short but powerful safari.
