Day trips

One free day is enough for a real safari

Short trips from Nairobi, Arusha and Zanzibar. You leave after breakfast and you are back in time for dinner.

For the day you did not think you had

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.

Morning game drive

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.

Available day trips

What the day looks like

  • Pick-up from your hotel, usually between 6 and 7am.
  • A private 4x4 with a pop-up roof, so everyone gets a window.
  • A licensed guide who works the park daily and knows where things moved overnight.
  • Park entry fees and a packed or lodge lunch included.
  • Drinking water, binoculars and a field guide in the vehicle.
  • Back in the city by early evening, or at the airport in time for a night flight.
