Bucket lists · Couples
The Maasai Mara and the Serengeti are two halves of one ecosystem, and travelling through both shows you the full scale of East Africa’s wildlife country. This route crosses the border between them, then continues through the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire before a short flight to Zanzibar. It suits travellers who want the classic highlights without rushing, and a few days to relax before flying home.
