Days 1–2: Tarangire — baobab landscapes and elephant herds at the magic hour.

Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater. Pre-dawn descent. Full day on the floor.

Days 4–6: Southern Serengeti short-grass plains (January–March for calving season). Dawn and dusk drives with Shaiya positioning the vehicle for the light.

Day 7: Northern Serengeti — Mara River crossing positions.

Days 8–9: Serengeti central kopjes — leopard and cheetah with open sightlines.

Day 10: Fly Serengeti to Zanzibar. Sunset at Kendwa Rocks.

Day 1: Drive or fly from Nairobi to Amboseli. Afternoon drive as the light softens on the swamps where elephant herds gather to feed and bathe.

Day 2: Full day in the park. Clearest views of Kilimanjaro are usually at dawn and dusk, so drives are timed to catch elephants crossing in front of the mountain. Midday break during the harsh light.

Day 3: Morning drive plus a visit to a viewpoint over the observation hill for the wider swamp system. Optional visit to a local Maasai community (arranged with fair, direct payment to the group).

Day 4: Final dawn drive, then return to Nairobi.
