8 day tour of mara river crossing gives you the chance to witness the Great Migration along the Mara River and sleep in amazing accommodations. With Travel Holidays Tours & Safari, you will be immersed in the unspoiled nature of Africa, see wild animals up close, and take photos of the wonderful landscapes of Tanzania. All this comes with the assistance of a tour operator based in Arusha, full board, a personal English-speaking guide, and private use of a 4×4 Jeep (with mineral water, power sockets, and binoculars).
Our guide will pick you up at Kilimanjaro (or Arusha) International Airport and transfer you to your hotel in Arusha for your overnight stay. You may opt to experience a tour of Arusha city with our guide (no cost). Be sure to rest in preparation for your safari tomorrow!
