This journey is ideal for those with limited time but wanting to tick these 2 iconic safari destinations off their bucket list. It combines Kenya’s famous Masai Mara and Tanzania’s dramatic Serengeti. The Masai Mara is suitably renowned as one of nature's greatest theatres for experiencing wildlife and the Serengeti is arguably the world's most famous national parks – for good reason! The Serengeti together with Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park form Africa’s most famous wildlife park.
