Tansania 18 Tage Kenya & Tanzania: Maasai Mara, The Serengeti & Zanzibar Erlebnisrundreise Geluxe in internationaler Gruppe

The savanna. The crater. The island. All in eighteen days. Start at a Maasai-owned lodge before the Serengeti, Maasai Mara, and Ngorongoro Crater open up in all their staggering wildlife. Then the trip shifts – a flight to Zanzibar trades the savanna for turquoise water and a dhow sail to Nakupenda Beach. East Africa, fully and beautifully lived.

• Stay at a Maasai-owned lodge and track wildlife on foot with a local guide

• Safari through the Maasai Mara and witness the spectacle of the Great Migration

• Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable wildlife encounter

• Explore the lesser-known plains of Amboseli with Kilimanjaro as your backdrop

• Sail to Nakupenda Beach by dhow and unwind on Zanzibar’s turquoise shores

1. Tag Nairobi

From culture to wildlife to active adventures, Kenya has it all, and has well-earned its reputation as one of the best places for safari in Africa. But this adventure goes way beyond that, bringing you a step further off the beaten path.

2. Tag Nairobi / Il Ngwesi

Without a doubt the Maasai people have become the symbol of East Africa in many ways. North of Nairobi, south of Samburu, sits a very special lodge with a very special story. Il Ngwesi is owned and operated by the local Maasai community. The aim is to invite travelers to meet the community and feel completely immersed into your surroundings. It can be hard to really understand a culture when you are limited to a quick hour-long visit, and this experience at Il Ngwesi is the exact opposite. Spend plenty of time with your hosts, asking questions and discussing life. Join them on a bush walk to learn local techniques, or visit the village to learn how to craft some beautiful beadwork. With a laid back pace and a completely private experience, your stay at Il Ngwesi is completely worthy of its OMG status. (F) (M) (A)

Though not quite as modern as other facilities in Kenya, Il Ngwesi brings you straight into the heart of a Maasai community who are keen to welcome you and engage with you from the moment you arrive.

Today you get to choose! Do you want to visit a local Maasai Village or spot wildlife? If the village visit sounds right, you will head off to one nearby and learn more about Maasai culture.
