Reisen: Kenia & Tansania Safari

Ankunft zu jeder Zeit möglich. Ankunftstransfer inklusive.
Für unsere Trips in Kenia und Tansania gilt eine maximale Gruppengröße von sechs Reisenden plus einem Expedition Leader und einem Fahrer, die beide ausgebildete Safari-Guides sind. Das bedeutet, dass jeder einen Fensterplatz und zweimal so viele der verblüffenden Wildtiere in der Umgebung zu sehen bekommt.

Früher Aufbruch zum für seine Vogelvielfalt berühmten Nakurusee. Ankunft in unserer Safari-Lodge im Nationalpark und Fotosafarifahrt am späten Nachmittag.

Set out on morning and afternoon safaris through the picturesque park, searching for buffalo, impalas, lions, and more; and drive along the salty shores of Lake Nakuru to discover a mind-boggling variety of birds.

This morning attend a talk given by a representative of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS)—a government institution dedicated to managing the country's wildlife—about the issues surrounding poaching and wildlife conservation. Later head south through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha, a large freshwater lake surrounded by grassy banks and olive trees. Cruise the lake on a boat, watching for hippos and buffalo; and peer through your binoculars to spot lovebirds, ibis, and the African fish eagle. Step ashore at Crescent Island—a peaceful wildlife sanctuary located in the middle of the lake— and enjoy a guided stroll in search of wildebeest, zebras, and giraffes.
The name Naivasha comes from the Maasai “Nai'posha”, which means “rough water”, though Lake Naivasha is generally calm as we watch for hippos and birdlife. Bring your binoculars and scan for lovebirds, ibis, and fish eagles, watch buffaloes wallow in the swamps and listen to colobus monkeys call from the treetops.

Es geht in die legendäre Masai Mara und in unser komfortables Camp mitten im Naturschutzgebiet. Am Nachmittag machen wir eine Safari in der von Akazien durchzogenen Savanne, vorbei an Gnus und Zebras und Giraffe und halten Ausschau nach den „Big Five“. Entspannen am Abend im Camp mit Panoramablick auf die Savanne.
After breakfast, we depart for the world famous Masai Mara National Reserve. No trip to Kenya would be complete without a visit here. In the afternoon, we will arrive in the area, and get settled at our safari camp, our base for our time here. Then we'll make our way into the reserve for an afternoon wildlife safari drive, with excellent chances of seeing the "big five": buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino.

Begib dich frühmorgens auf eine Safarifahrt auf den Spuren der Tiere, die in der Nacht die Savanne durchquert haben. In der zeitlosen Landschaft der Masai Mara tummeln sich Huftiere wie Thomson- und Grant-Gazellen, Topis und Elenantilopen und auch die Raubtiere, die sie jagen. Genieße eine weitere Safarifahrt am späten Nachmittag und entdecke die zeitlose Landschaften der Masai Mara.

Witness a breathtaking sunrise over the savanna during your final safari in Masai Mara, and head back to Nairobi. Stop en route at Café Ubuntu, a G Adventures–supported Planeterra project that trains and employs local women and mothers of children with disabilities. Café Ubuntu is an oasis with delicious organic food, hospitable staff, and a relaxing atmosphere based in Maai Mahiu. It is a beacon for tourists who drive through the area each year on their way to the famous Maasai Mara conservancy. Learn about how the initiative empowers the community, visit the craft centre to meet some of the women who create the wares sold there, and then sit down for a delicious farm-to-table lunch. Options range from breakfast tacos, soups, and salads, to freshly made pizzas, curry dishes, and burritos.
Rise early for a final morning wildlife safari drive, enjoying the African sun as it rises over the savannah of the Mara plains. Return to Nairobi in the late afternoon and opt to join the Expedition Leader in a farewell dinner.

Fly to Arusha, gateway to the Serengeti and the northern parks of Tanzania, and settle into your lodge.
After your flight, transfer to the hotel. Take some time to explore Arusha before meeting your group back at the hotel for a second orientation meeting. Here, you will meet your Tanzanian Expedition Leader for this duration of the tour, and new travellers that may join you for the rest of your journey.

This morning, make your way to Mto wa Mbu, a vibrant settlement of Tanzania's diverse tribal groups. Take a guided walk through the rural town, visiting the local market and meeting artisans in their workshops; then sit down for a traditional lunch with a local family. Continue to the Rift Valley escarpment and settle into our safari camp, located at the edge of Lake Manyara National Park. Set out on our first safari drive to discover East Africa's legendary wildlife, searching for lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, and more.
Diese Landschaft ist wirklich atemberaubend und die westliche Wand des Rift Valley bietet eine fantastisch schöne Kulisse. Halte Ausschau nach phänomenalen Vögeln, auf Bäume kletternden Löwen, Elefanten, Giraffen und Flusspferden. Den Nachmittag verbringst du mit Tierbeobachtungen entlang der Hauptstraße, die durch einen grünen, kühlen Wald voller Ficus-Bäume und Ananasgewächse führt.

Travel through the breathtaking Rift Valley en route to our safari camp in Serengeti National Park. Enjoy a stop along the way at the Olduvai Gorge Museum and Visitor's Centre—located near the site where National Geographic archaeologists Louis and Mary Leakey discovered early hominid fossils and stone tools in 1960. From here, continue to the world-famous Serengeti National Park and head out on a late afternoon safari drive across the Serengeti Plain, keeping an eye out for grazing giraffes, lounging lions, and herds of antelope in the golden light.

Immerse yourself in the splendor of the Serengeti, one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife reserves. Discover the park's iconic creatures when you set out in a 4x4 on morning and afternoon safaris through the golden grasslands. With luck, spot all of Africa's “big five”—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. Later, visit the Serengeti Wildlife Research Centre, and enjoy a talk by one of the visiting researchers.

Depart from the Serengeti early and travel across the vast savanna to the Ngorongoro Conservation area. Spanning more than 20 kilometres in diameter, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest non-flooded caldera in the world and is inhabited by some 25,000 animals. Set out on a full-day safari drive into the Ngorongoro Crater and observe the biodiversity and resident wild animals in this incredibly important location to the conservation and protection of global wildlife. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the heart of the world's largest caldera surrounded by Ngorongoro's flora and fauna. Then, travel to our accommodations in Pembeni for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay in a pristine wilderness setting.

Leave Ngorongoro behind this morning and travel from our lodge in Pembeni to a Maasai village. Here, we learn about the G Adventures–supported Clean Cookstoves Project, dedicated to providing clean-burning cookstoves to Maasai communities throughout Tanzania. Enjoy a presentation by a Maasai woman on the impact of the project, and take a guided tour of the village, visiting traditional homes or bomas and helping build a new stove. Continue to Arusha stopping en route for lunch. Spend the remainder of the day in the safari capital city of Tanzania, at your own leisure.
