Reviews of 3 week Safari Tours
Our 14-day Kenya and Tanzania Migration Lodge Safari was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived in Nairobi to the final farewell, every day was filled with awe-inspiring moments and unforgettable experiences. Our adventure began with a warm welcome in Nairobi,Transfer to hotel Ole Sereni where our knowledgeable guide briefed us on the journey ahead. The luxurious accommodations provided a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the African wilderness.African Brekafast was great!!! Amboseli National Park in Kenya was our first stop, and the sight of majestic elephants roaming against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro took our breath away. We witnessed thrilling wildlife encounters during our game drives, including close encounters with lions and cheetahs.Sopa lodges so magnificient. Crossing into Tanzania,border abit slow but was well organized with changing guides from Zack the genius to John M. Lake Manyara National Park enchanted us with its diverse landscapes and abundant birdlife. Spotting tree-climbing lions was a highlight, and the boat safari on Lake Manyara offered a serene perspective of the park's beauty. The Serengeti National Park was the epitome of safari magic. Witnessing the Great Migration firsthand was a dream come true as we watched thousands of wildebeests and zebras thunder across the plains. Our lodge perched on the edge of the Serengeti provided uninterrupted views of the vast savannah and unforgettable sunsets.Serena lodges are super ! Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater felt like entering a lost world teeming with wildlife. We marveled at the sheer abundance of animals in this natural amphitheater, from graceful gazelles to mighty rhinos. The grand finale awaited us in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The Mara River crossings were the highlight of our safari, as we held our breath watching the dramatic spectacle unfold before our eyes. Our expert guide John , ensured we had front-row seats to nature's greatest show. Each evening, we gathered around the campfire under the starlit sky, sharing stories of the day's adventures and listening to the sounds of the African night. The hospitality of the lodge staff made us feel like family, and the delicious cuisine was a delightful surprise. As we bid farewell to Kenya and Tanzania, we carried with us memories that will last a lifetime. This safari exceeded all expectations, thanks to the impeccable planning and personalized service. It truly was the journey of a lifetime, and I cannot wait to return to Africa's wild embrace.Masai Mara crowned all the taste of an Africa Photo Safari - Sopa Lodges tastifully located at great views of sunset thank you Zack again for picking us from the other border point for this gtreat encounter with wildlife . I would recommend thsi tour to many who really want to see the great diverse landscape and lakes plus plains in Africa - Serenegeti and Mara plains.
16 Days The Great Herds of Kenya & Tanzania Migration Signature Safari
- 15 Days Essential Kenya & Tanzania Expedition
My wife Pat and I have recently returned from our 15 day Safari to Kenya and Tanzania. The tour was operated by Steppe Dog Adventures. It was a remarkable experience. The planning and coordination were great. Name an African animal and we saw it, probably several times. The guides were remarkably knowledgeable and attentive. Accomidations were top notch. We whole-heartedly recommend this safari. It was spectacular.
- South Africa Rainbow Route
Great tour of South Africa covering so much of the country. You'll get a variety of experiences including safaris, hikes, national parks, beaches, wineries and cities. You'll meet and see so many smiling faces of South Africa and enjoy their culture. Accommodation ranged from really basic in the Drakensberg mountains to really interesting huts in Kruger and Estiwini to amazing beautiful resorts outside of Kruger. There were some really long travel days in the truck but given the size of the country and the places covered it was totally expected. Sunway Safaris is a local company and you can see that they do their best to help local communities.
What our customers ask about 3 Week Safari
What are the main highlights and destinations covered in a 3-week safari tour?
A 3-week safari takes you through the most incredible places in East and Southern Africa. You'll track gorillas in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, watch massive herds migrate across Kenya's Masai Mara, and spot wildlife in Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Along the way, you'll sleep in unique places like the Mara West Tented Camp and get up close to the "Big Five" - lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and buffalo. The Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge gives you a perfect base to explore the area's rich wildlife.
What's the best time of year to take a 3-week safari tour?
The ideal timing really depends on where you want to go. If you're hoping to see the Great Migration in East Africa, plan your trip for July through October. That's when over a million wildebeest move between Kenya's Masai Mara (90°F/32°C) and Tanzania's Serengeti (81°F/27°C). For gorilla trekking in Uganda's Bwindi Forest, try the dry seasons from June to September or December to February when the trails are easier to navigate. If you're heading to Southern Africa, the dry winter months of May through October are perfect - temperatures stay between 46-73°F (8-23°C) and animals gather near water holes.
How many different national parks and reserves are typically visited during a 3-week safari tour?
You'll usually explore 6 to 8 major parks and reserves across several countries. Your journey might take you from Uganda's Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth parks to Kenya's Masai Mara and Amboseli, then on to Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Each place has something special - like the unusual tree-climbing lions in Lake Manyara or the huge elephant families in Tarangire National Park.
What kind of wildlife encounters can I expect on a 3-week safari tour?
You'll see an amazing variety of animals in their natural homes. Watch enormous herds of wildebeest and zebras move across the Serengeti and Masai Mara during migration season. In Ngorongoro Crater, you'll find over 20,000 large animals, including some of Tanzania's few remaining black rhinos. Amboseli offers great views of elephant herds with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background. In Bwindi Forest, you'll get close to mountain gorillas in their forest home. One TourRadar traveler mentioned that Lake Nakuru National Park was perfect for spotting flamingos, pelicans, and lions lounging in trees.
What type of accommodations can I expect during a 3-week safari tour?
You'll stay in a mix of comfortable places throughout your trip. These include nice lodges like the Masai Mara Sopa Lodge, permanent tented camps like the Serengeti Acacia Central Camp, and if you visit Zanzibar, beach resorts like Kiwengwa Beach Resort. Places like the Ngorongoro Farm House and Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge are right next to the parks, making wildlife viewing easy. Many TourRadar travelers love the Ole Sereni Hotel in Nairobi because you can see animals in Nairobi National Park right from your room.
How many travelers are typically in a 3-week safari tour group?
Groups are usually small, with 4 to 12 people traveling together in specially built 4x4 vehicles. When you're exploring places like the Masai Mara or Serengeti, vehicles only carry 6 to 8 people so everyone gets a window seat and clear views for photos. Some companies like CKC Tours & Travel also offer private safaris where you can travel just with your family or friends and stay in nice places like the Serengeti Kananga Tented Camp or Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge.
