10 Day Safari
Think ten days is the sweet spot for African safari? Popular combinations include Tanzania's northern circuit (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire), Kenya's Masai Mara and Amboseli, or Botswana's Okavango and Chobe. Ten days means proper wildlife viewing time, experiencing various ecosystems, enough game drives that you'll likely see the full spectrum of African wildlife doing their thing.

Reviews of 10 day Safari Tours
- 10 Days Kenya and Tanzania Adventure
wonderful! the 10 days Kenya Tanzania combined trip was very great.I enjoyed the Masai dance and their interaction until i learnt their language 'sere' which is goodbye. The tour guide Maxwell and the driver were professionals and very social,they made sure we saw variety of wild animals especially the big five,the wildebeests migration was superb. I also got magical experience in L. Manyara national park for tree climbing lions and the Ngorongoro crater had a very beautiful scenery. The meals were delicious, the accommodation was fantastic. The mix was just fitting,i got everything as it was in the itinerary and your services are quality.Congrats East Africa safari bookers team next time i will come with my family
This tour was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide Moses was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the animals and his enthusiasm was infectious!!!! We saw so many animals on Safari that here I am 3 weeks out and still posting pics from that trip! Then we got to Zanzibar where Dulah took over and shared about the history and culture of Zanzibar and Stone town!!! This was amazing, good bang for the buck!
Nairobi to Zanzibar: Serengeti & Sunsets
- Journeys: Kenya Safari Experience National Geographic Journeys
This tour exceeded all of my expectations in every way. We saw an abundance of wildlife and the experience was nothing short of astounding. The accommodations and food were also extremely good. While the partnership between Tour Radar and National Geographic was good, it was sometimes confusing as to who to contact for certain issues. Our Tour Guide, Rose was tremendous. Extremely knowledgeable, personable, organized: she managed to blend all of the knowledge of the various animals and peoples beautifully. Our driver, Joseph was also incredible in his ability to navigate a tough terrain and lead us to some spectacular sights. I’m forever grateful. Thank you, Tour Radar. You’ve done it again!
What our customers ask about 10 Day Safari
What are the most popular destinations for 10-day safari tours?
The most visited spots include Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire National Park. In Kenya, you'll explore the Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park with its views of Kilimanjaro, and Lake Nakuru where pink flamingos dot the shoreline. A TourRadar traveler describes their Kenya experience: "We saw a lioness trying to catch a gazelle and a mother gazelle saving her baby from a jackal. We saw many animals lounging and crossing the road in front of us."
When is the best time to go on a 10-day safari?
For the best wildlife viewing, plan your trip between June and October during the dry season. The Serengeti migration peaks from July to September. You can expect daytime temperatures around 75°F (24°C) and nights around 50°F (10°C). Pack some warm layers - the Ngorongoro Crater gets quite chilly in the early mornings, sometimes dropping to 41°F (5°C).
What wildlife will I see during my safari?
You'll likely spot the "Big Five" - lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo - plus countless other animals. During migration season, the Serengeti and Masai Mara fill with huge herds of wildebeest and zebras. One TourRadar traveler shares: "Musa was amazing at tracking - we managed to see over 70 lions, hundreds of elephants, thousands of zebras and wildebeest and many other different animals. The wildlife viewing exceeded all our expectations."
How long are the daily game drives?
You'll spend about 4-6 hours per day looking for wildlife, usually split between early morning and late afternoon when animals are most active. Morning drives start around 6:30 AM, and afternoon drives begin about 3:30 PM and go until sunset. Some places, like Mara Sopa Lodge, also offer night drives where you can spot nocturnal animals.
