Nairobi to Zambia (Accommodated) - 21 days ACCOMMODATED SAFARI: Journey from Kenya to Zambia on this 21-day overland accommodated safari which also visits Tanzania and Malawi. Search for wildlife in the Serengeti National Park, Mikumi National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater. Unwind on the tropical beaches of Zanzibar, see snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro and swim in Lake Malawi. Round it off with a free day to discover Victoria Falls how you see fit - by boat, on foot, or from the air!Overlanding Adventures21The serengeti and ngorongoro crater were amazing with so many animals to see I had trouble getting my kenya eta's. I contacted you and was told that you don't do visas. You should have put me in contact with Acacia to see if they could help. I needed a contact in Kenya. I had to pay twice to get it. Also, the days were very long and the roads in Malawi were horrendous.

I didn't do much research prior to embarking but talking with others I think I saw everything in the region without having to do extensive planning. The tour guide, Pili, was amazing. Informative, funny, personable and was a great bridge from my culture to the cultures we saw.

Why visit Serengeti National Park
A safari focus that puts time on the plains first
Serengeti National Park is a top pick for Tanzania trips, because it puts you right on the plains when the light is soft and animals are on the move. In a few days, the land can shift from open grass to rocky kopjes, and game drives give you a real shot at lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. Trips that visit Serengeti National Park suit travellers who want a clear plan and expert help to spot animals. Most itineraries are fully guided and focus on the best safari hours, so you can make the most of each day. Longer routes can add more time in Tanzania, and link key parks for a wider look at the country’s wild places. Many itineraries also run as part of big Africa trips that include Kenya, South Africa, and Zambia. Even so, the Serengeti days in Tanzania can feel the most far away, with huge views and a real sense of space.
