8-Day Masai Mara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari
Spend the first three days in the Masai Mara, then route through Nairobi and Arusha to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro before finishing in Arusha.
A Mara-Focused Kenya–Tanzania Route
This cross-border product begins with three days allocated to the Masai Mara, then returns through Nairobi before continuing via Arusha to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with the journey ending in Arusha.
It is not the existing Package 21 route: it omits Lake Nakuru and Lake Manyara. It also differs from Package 22 by explicitly allocating the first three days to the Masai Mara and ending in Arusha rather than publishing an onward Nairobi or Zanzibar arrangement.
The operator supplied the route sequence, duration and Budget range. Accommodation, meals, transfer operators, border procedure, activities, inclusions, exclusions and charging basis are confirmed in the written quotation.
Safari Highlights
- Three days allocated to the Masai Mara section.
- A staged transition through Nairobi and Arusha rather than an implied direct park-to-park crossing.

- No Lake Nakuru, Lake Manyara, Tarangire or Amboseli stage.
- Budget range published exactly as USD 1,175–1,375; all other requested classes remain Price on Request.

Who May Prefer This Safari?
This route may suit travellers who want three days allocated to the Masai Mara before a compact Tanzania section and who accept the Nairobi and Arusha positioning stages required by the supplied sequence.
Why This Eight-Day Route Is Distinct
Its search and product purpose is route-specific: a three-day Mara start followed by Nairobi, Arusha, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It does not replace the broader Package 21 lakes circuit or the existing Package 22 return options.
Kenya–Tanzania Safari Questions
Can I combine Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro in eight days?
This route is structured to combine those areas with positioning stages through Nairobi and Arusha. The written itinerary confirms the exact transfer and border arrangements.
Is this the same as Parrot's other 8-day Kenya–Tanzania safaris?
No. This route allocates three days to the Masai Mara, omits Lake Nakuru and Lake Manyara, follows Nairobi and Arusha before Tanzania, and finishes in Arusha.
Does the route cross directly from the Masai Mara to the Serengeti?
No direct park-to-park crossing is promised. The operator-supplied sequence returns through Nairobi and then continues via Arusha.
What is included in the Budget price?
The public intake does not establish a safe inclusion list. Accommodation, transport, meals, fees, border arrangements, inclusions and exclusions must be stated in your quotation.
Is this a private safari?
Not automatically. A private arrangement is Price on Request and must be confirmed in writing.
Which accommodation is used?
No camp, lodge or hotel is named in the intake. Accommodation is confirmed in the written quotation and remains subject to availability.
Is migration activity guaranteed?
No. Wildlife and migration movements are seasonal and natural, so sightings and river crossings cannot be guaranteed.
