Monograms East Africa Private Safari(IQH)
11 Day Package from Nairobi to Arusha
Leave the ordinary at home and get ready for the extraordinary! An African safari is truly a once-in-a-lifetime vacation and Monograms is here to ensure that the only wild part of your vacation is an encounter with the endangered species. We arrange your choice of accommodations, transportation between destinations, game drives, and most meals for you. You will have a professional Driver/Guide throughout your safari to help you spot game and to teach you all about Africa’s wildlife. And for your convenience, the custom 4-wheel-drive safari vehicles we use feature a pop-up roof to help make your experience as up-close and personal as it can be! Your 11-day private safari begins in Nairobi. We can pick you up at the airport and help you manage the hassle of getting to your hotel. The next day, after an included breakfast, grab your gear and head off on your safari! Throughout the next ten days, you will visit some of the world’s most famous game areas. Highlights include Maasai Mara National Reserve and Serengeti National Park, part of the Serengeti ecosystem, home to the annual wildebeest migration. We’ve arranged for you to have four game drives in the “Mara” and three in the Serengeti where you’ll have the chance to see the “Big 5”—lion, leopard, Cape buffalo, elephant, and rhino. Be on the lookout for an abundance of other animals, including cheetah, giraffe, gazelle, elephant, hyena, and more. You’ll also explore several other areas including Amboseli National Park, for stunning views of the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro; Lake Manyara National Park, where the diverse terrain attracts everything from elephants and giraffes, to Cape buffalo and the world’s largest concentration of baboon; and Ngorongoro Crater, which is unique in that it serves as a year-round home for many animals, including lion, hippo, and the rare black rhino. On the last day of your stay, we have reserved a day room for you to relax and reflect on this unforgettable vacation! From the game drives in a private vehicle we’ve included, the accommodations we’ve booked, and the professional Driver/Guide we’ve arranged, the only thing that is left for you to do is click away on that camera of yours! We guarantee you’ll leave Africa with photos and stories to last a lifetime. So if you want to plan a safari, do it the right way and don’t plan it at all – let Monograms plan it for you.
Itinerary (2023)| Day 1 | ARRIVE IN NAIROBI, KENYA. | | | Welcome to Africa! Hotel rooms are available for mid-afternoon check-in. | | Day 2 | NAIROBI–MAASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE AREA. | | | Today, fly to Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya’s most famous game area.

(B,L,D) | | Day 3 | MAASAI MARA AREA. | | | Today, your Driver/Guide takes you on morning and afternoon game drives in the “Mara,” as it is called by the locals. Part of the Serengeti ecosystem, it boasts a strong permanent population of game. When the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra arrives the population enlarges by almost 2 million. This provides a great food source for predators such as lion, leopard, and hyena. Between game drives, relax at your safari lodge or tented camp. (B,L,D) | | Day 4 | MAASAI MARA AREA–NAIROBI–AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK AREA | | | A short flight brings you back to Nairobi for a drive to Amboseli National Park. Upon arrival, embark on a game drive and take in the spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa at some 19,341 feet. Arrive at your lodge or camp in time to freshen up for dinner. (B,L,D) | | Day 5 | AMBOSELI AREA | | | Morning and afternoon game drives offer you a great opportunity to get close to the mighty elephant. You might also spot Cape buffalo, zebra, wild dog, and more. During the heat of the day, relax at your lodge or camp. (B,L,D) | | Day 6 | AMBOSELI AREA–ARUSHA, TANZANIA–LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK AREA. | | | This morning, cross the border into Tanzania.

The park is also home to the world’s largest concentration of baboon. Watch for these mischievous primates, giraffe, hippo, and more on your morning game drive. Then, drive to beautiful Gibb’s Farm for a lunch featuring sumptuous farm-to-table cuisine. Afterward, continue to Ngorongoro Conservation area for the night. (B,L,D) | | Day 8 | NGORONGORO AREA | | | Today, enjoy a full-day game drive in Ngorongoro Crater. The crater is technically the world’s largest unflooded caldera—at more than 2,000 feet deep with a floor covering over 102 square miles. Game viewing here is fantastic, as most of the animals stay in this area year round. You can see lion, elephant, flamingo, and a variety of other animals. This is also your best chance to see the rare black rhinoceros. A picnic lunch will be served in the crater. (B,L,D) | | Day 9 | NGORONGORO AREA–SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK | | | Today, drive to Serengeti National Park, Tanzania’s largest and most famous park.

(B,L,D) | | Day 10 | SERENGETI | | | The Serengeti covers an area of roughly 5,700 square miles, so it is no surprise that the name comes from the Maasai word siringit, meaning “endless plains.” Join your expert Driver/Guide for morning and afternoon game drives to further explore this vast park. Search for leopard, rhino, and an abundance of other animals, including cheetah, giraffe, gazelle, and eland. (B,L,D) | | Day 11 | SERENGETI–ARUSHA. | | | End your safari with one final game drive prior to your flight back to Arusha.
