A layover, a conference that finishes early, the last day of a beach holiday. East Africa is unusual in that a serious wildlife day is often less than an hour from the airport.
Every day trip below includes the vehicle, the guide, park fees and lunch, with hotel pick-up and drop-off in the city you are staying in.
Three bases, three kinds of day
01
From Nairobi
Nairobi National Park at dawn with the skyline behind the rhino, or a long day out to Amboseli under Kilimanjaro.
02
From Arusha
Tarangire, Lake Manyara or the Ngorongoro Crater rim, all within a comfortable day of the city.
03
From Zanzibar
A short flight to the mainland for Mikumi or the Selous, then back to the island the same evening.
