With this complete safari of 11 days and 10 nights we will be present in both countries, although much more in Tanzania. It is ideal for those who choose to focus on Tanzania safari, but do not want to miss a part of Kenya. During these days, in Kenya we will visit Amboseli National Park, where huge herds of elephants wander over the plains. Amboseli is known as the lake of dust due to the mirages. Once we come to Tanzania, we will visit Arusha, one of the largest cities in Tanzania, with an unknown and highly recommended National Park. After that we head to the always lush surroundings of Lake Manyara, where hopefully we can see the tree climbing lions. From here we'll head to the wide and endless plains of the Serengeti, with the highest concentration of animals in the world. And then we will be introduced in the world's largest intact caldera, Ngorongoro Crater, after which we head to Tarangire, with a large concentration of wildlife where we will end our safari.
