16-Day Grand East Africa & Spice Island Discovery

Overview

Sixteen days across Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar — the Rift Valley lakes, a balloon over the Maasai Mara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, then four all-inclusive nights on the beach. Built for groups, delegations and multi-generational families.

The journey opens in Nairobi and the Kenyan Rift Valley, with Lake Elementaita and a boat safari on Lake Naivasha, before three nights in the Maasai Mara. The highlight there is a sunrise hot air balloon flight, landing to a champagne breakfast in the bush. A flight across the border saves a long day on the road, and the Tanzanian half follows the classic northern circuit: Lake Manyara, three nights in the Serengeti and a morning on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater.

The last four nights are on Zanzibar's east coast, all-inclusive, with one day given to Prison Island, Stone Town and a spice farm and the rest left free for the beach. The pace stays comfortable throughout, with game drives balanced by cultural visits, lodge pools and unhurried afternoons.

The package is priced for groups of 10 to 30, and every group booking includes a complimentary single room for the group leader. Smaller parties and dates outside July to October are quoted on request.
