Tour step

Day 1
Your East African adventure begins at 6:00 AM, when your private driver-guide will collect you from your Nairobi hotel and set off southward toward the Kenyan-Tanzanian border. Your destination is Amboseli National Park, one of Kenya’s most celebrated and iconic wildlife destinations. Nestled at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, Amboseli’s wide-open plains provide the perfect stage for one of nature’s great spectacles: immense elephant herds moving unhurriedly across the savannah as Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped summit rises behind them. You'll spend the full day inside the park, immersed in the extraordinary Amboseli ecosystem. Lunch is served at the lodge, and the afternoon game drives continue as your guide navigates the park's open grasslands and swampy areas. As the sun begins its descent and the last golden light catches the summit of Kilimanjaro, you'll make your way back to the lodge for a well-earned dinner and overnight stay. Mid-range lodge located just outside Amboseli NP (Kenya) Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 2
After an early breakfast, you'll bid farewell to Amboseli and begin the drive toward the Namanga Border, the gateway between Kenya and Tanzania. The road itself is a game drive, with wildlife frequently spotted along the way as the landscape shifts and the border draws closer. It is a uniquely thrilling experience, crossing from one country into another with nothing but open wilderness around you. At the Namanga Border, your Tanzanian driver-guide will be waiting to welcome you and take over for the next leg of your journey. From here, it is approximately a two-hour drive to Arusha, Tanzania's safari capital, a vibrant and lively city nestled between Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. Lunch is served in Arusha, giving you a chance to stretch your legs and enjoy a delicious meal. After lunch, you'll continue westward toward Tarangire National Park, arriving in time for a relaxed dinner and an overnight stay. The bush is already calling, and tomorrow, you'll answer. Mid-range lodge located less than 1hr drive from Tarangire NP (Tanzania) All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 3
Wake up to the sounds of the Tarangire bush birdsong, the distant rumble of elephants, and the soft morning breeze drifting through the acacia trees. After an early breakfast, you head straight into Tarangire National Park for a full day of game drives through one of Tanzania's most spectacular and underrated wilderness areas. Tarangire is famous for its extraordinary elephant population, one of the largest concentrations of elephants in East Africa, and watching these magnificent giants move through a landscape of towering ancient baobab trees is a sight that is impossible to forget. Lions rest in the shade of termite mounds, leopards move silently through the undergrowth, and the park's incredible diversity of birdlife, over 550 species, makes it a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts of every kind. As evening approaches, you'll make your way to Karatu, a peaceful highland town, for dinner and a restful overnight stay ahead of your most extraordinary day yet. Mid-range lodge located 1-2hr drive from Tarangire NP (Tanzania) All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 4
Your final morning begins with an early breakfast before you drive to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. One look into this vast basin, and everything else falls away. You descend the steep inner wall, the caldera growing more impressive with every metre. On the crater floor, game viewing is outstanding. The Big Five live here year-round: lion prides dominating the grasslands, huge buffalo herds roaming the plains, elephants moving quietly through the morning light, and the rare, critically endangered black rhino. By early afternoon, you'll ascend the rim and return to Arusha, where your safari concludes. Your driver-guide will see you comfortably to the airport for your onward flight, leaving Tanzania behind, but taking with you the memories of four unforgettable days in the heart of East Africa. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Non-alcoholic drinks

5.0/5Beginning with our greeting at the airport, Imani Excursions did not disappointment through the entire trip. The owner, Imani himself came out to give us a big welcoming. Our tour guides David and Julius were always cheerful, very knowledge about the areas we visited and the animals we encountered. They knew where to find the animals. I'm still in disbelief about the heart pounding encounters we had with the animals. We came away learning about the animals, the culture and were even taught a little Swahili. Thank you David and Julius!! This is definitely something my family and especially our kids will never forget because of you. Our accommodations were beautiful staying at Manyara's Secret and the Lahia Luxury Tent Lodge. Manyara's Secret was right on the lake with your own individual private pools. The food was delicious and staff were very welcoming and attentive. The whole place was gorgeous. In Lahia, other than the zip up walls you wouldn't even think you were in a tent. The rooms were large, huge bed and overlooked the Serengeti with the two sinks and toilet inside your tent. There was a beautiful private outdoor shower attached to your room. Animals came right up to the lodge. It was incredible walking through zebras on the way to dinner. There are many tour companies in Tanzania. You should not hesitate in booking with Imani and his staff. You can tell that they love their jobs and are in awe with us encountering the animals even after many years of giving tours. This translated to an incredible and unforgettable experience for us. Imani Excursions made us fall in love with Tanzania and if we ever get back there we will definitely book with them again.

Taking a trip to Africa is one of the biggest trips you will take in your life so you want it to go well. When I started the journey I researched so many different safaris and read so many reviews. I kept coming back to Imani Excursions. My only draw back was that they didn’t have a lot of reviews. The reviews they did have were good so I decided to book them. I was nervous not knowing if this is a company I could trust. I can honestly tell you that you will not go wrong booking Imani Excursions. Mike was always quick to respond to all my emails about questions I had about the trip before we arrived. When we arrived we were greeted at the airport with drinks, snacks, gift, and music. What a welcome! Our safari guides Julie’s and David were with us throughout the entire trip. We felt 100% safe and were taken care of well. Imani greeted us at the airport and followed us to our first accommodation to Make sure check it went well. The accommodations we stayed at were absolutely beautiful! At Manyaras secret we had a four bedroom villa with a private full sized swimming pool. The safaris were amazing! We saw so much wildlife and up close. We saw the big 5 and much much more. We saw a lion pack of 7 with babies and all hunting baboons. Elephants rushed in trumpets and all to rescue the baboons. It looked like something you would see at Universal Studios but it was real. We have traveled all over the world and this trip is now our favorite. Look no further and book Imani Excursions. They will give you an amazing trip and take care of you well.

We were well fed and treated like royalty. We saw many many animals, every thing but the cheetah. We saw rhino lions hundreds of wildebeest and Zebra many antelope of different species even a leopard. We couldn't Have asked for more it was well worth the money. The overnight accommodations were amazing I would recommend to anyone thinking of going to Africa
