Tanzania and Kenya in February and March
Doug and Gail Cheeseman have been leading safaris to Tanzania and Kenya since 1978. They know and love it well. With just four people in each of the nine-seater, pop-top Landcruisers, you will have plenty of space and flexibility for viewing and photographing wildlife in the best game areas such as Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Ndutu, Tarangire, Masai Mara and the Mara Triangle, Nakuru, and Samburu. The "big five" are found here - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. Our goal is to spend the maximum time in the field, starting early and ending late, often taking picnic lunches to avoid the long noon-time drive back to the lodge. Lots of choices will suit your varied interests, such as walks in bird-rich areas or a cultural photo session in a local village. Our Tanzanian and Kenyan resident guides, who have led many safaris with Doug and Gail, will assure the best possible wildlife experiences in this truly incredible region! East Africa is Gail and Doug's favorite destination with its vast savanna habitats vibrant with life during the southern primetime migration. Zebras, giraffes, and gazelles are nursing young, while thousands of newborn Wildebeest calves run across the plains aside their mothers, attracting many predators. Flocks of European White Storks and Abdim's Storks winter in Tanzania joining the colorful resident birds. We'll enjoy the seasonal wealth of wildlife in Tanzania's Southern Serengeti and other rich areas in Tanzania, and then delight in the diversity of Kenya's highlands, lakes, arid lands, and famous Rift Valley. The stretch Land Cruisers with covered poptops are superb for wildlife viewing and with only four participants per vehicle, this safari offers flexibility and fabulous photo ops. When the Cheesemans started leading East African safaris in 1978 they didn't dream that they would still be going thrity years later, but with sixty species of mammals, amazing reptiles, and over 300 species of birds, how could anyone resist?

Our Northern Primetime Safari in Tanzania includes "The Great Migration" in Tanzania's northern Serengeti where conditions are right for the best wildlife action, especially Cheetah hunting Thomson's Gazelles. Scenic kopjes (rocky outcroppings) harbor predators and are fascinating to explore when abundant herds are present in the vicinity. Vast herds of Wildebeest and Zebra travel through as they migrate north to the Masai Mara where we will spend six days! We will spend two days in the Ngorongoro Crater where lion prides, hyena clans, and jackal families, uninhibited by vehicles, carry on their interesting interactions. With both fresh and alkaline lakes in the crater, the waterbirds and landbirds are very abundant. Ndutu, our most favorite place on the planet, is a less-traveled area with rare small mammals, such as Wildcat, Honey Badger, Bat-eared Fox, Side-striped Jackal, Serval, and even Caracal. We also visit Olduvai Gorge in the impressive Rift Valley where the Leakeys found the famous hominid remains. Our Northern Primetime Safari in Kenya is the definitive short safari for wildlife enthusiasts, with six days on Kenya's side of the Serengeti ecosystem at the peak of the Migration in the Masai Mara, including night drive opportunities in the Mara Triangle. Herds of Wildebeests and Burchell's Zebras move across the Mara River stalked by Lions and Nile Crocodiles, while Thomson's and Grant's gazelles are hunted by Cheetah. The wildlife photography is simply incredible. Experience fantastic game drives at Samburu on the Uaso Nyiro River with unique Grevy's Zebras, Gerenuk, and Beisa Oryx; plus amazing elephant behavior as they come down from the hills to drink at mid-day. We'll also experience Lake Nakuru in the Rift Valley, and the well protected forest around Mountain Lodge at the base of Mount Kenya. The mammal and bird diversity is guaranteed to impress!

Seek out amazing wildlife in Moremi, Savuti, and Chobe national parks in Botswana. We then cross the mighty Zambezi River to Zambia for a visit to Victoria Falls, one of the seven wonders of the world, and South Luangwa. Our amazing guides, Grant Reed in Botswana and Yotam Sakala in Zambia, know where to find the Leopards and other cats and are experts on Southern African mammals, birds, and reptiles. In Moremi, take a boat trip along the famous Okavango Delta. Late afternoon on the great Chobe River is perfect for observing waterbirds and huge herds of elephants down from the hills to drink and bathe. Then cross the Botswana-Zambia border to spectacular Victoria Falls beside Livingstone. Travel to Mfuwe in South Luangwa National Park -- Zambia's best game area. Night drives are allowed! Each safari member will have a window seat in a spacious stretch Landcruiser. Experience "semi-luxurious" mobile camping in Botswana, a luxurious lodge close to Victoria Falls, then 4 nights in luxury ensuite safari tents overlooking the Luangwa River in Zambia. Grant and Yotam are professional, fun leaders who know how to make your safari the best. Return to top
