From Kenya's legendary Elephant country beneath Mount Kilimanjaro to Tanzania's Baobab-studded Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater and the endless Serengeti — this is East Africa at its most iconic.
Start beneath the snow-capped slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya's Amboseli, where enormous Elephant herds move across open plains. Cross into Tanzania through Namanga and continue to Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti.
For travelers who want Kilimanjaro views, Elephants, the Big Five, the Crater and Serengeti Wildlife without unnecessary detours, this is one of the most seamless Kenya–Tanzania combinations.
