Tauck Africa Safaris

Kenya and Tanzania Classic Safari
The Kenya and Tanzania Classic Safari by Tauck Tours is one of the best ways to visit Africa. You don't want to skimp on a low price escorted tour to this destination. Africa's Big Five are among the wildlife that can be spotted in this part of Africa, where the Serengeti and Masai Mara harbor umbrella-like acacia trees and rocky outcrops known as kopje, and the circle of life unfolds around you. Tauck limits their safari groups to 30 guests, with expert guides to lead the way. You'll spend two nights in Serengeti National Park and three nights in the Masai Mara National Reserve, plus two nights in Amboseli National Park with daily game drives. Take a thrilling hot air balloon ride at dawn over the Masai Mara and a champagne breakfast when you return. Visit Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Sweetwater's Chimpanzee Sanctuary and William Holden Animal orphanage.  A barbeque dinner awaits you at the Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti with a Maasai cultural performance. This is a 13-day escorted tour starting in Arusha.
