East Africa represents the undisputed heartland of global wildlife tourism, where vast cross-border ecosystems host the most ancient migration patterns on earth. This extensive 20-day itinerary provides a grand tour of the region’s geography—moving systematically from the volcanic Rift Valley lakes up into the gold-tinted grasslands of the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem before descending onto the coral reefs of the Indian Ocean. To read about our agency's foundational corporate history or to review our global credentials as an accredited IATA flight ticketing bureau, please visit our main Stejos Tours Overview.
This itinerary offers a choice between two exceptional, tiered hospitality frameworks. Option 1 provides classic, highly reliable lodge experiences, featuring properties like the scenic Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge, the authentic Serena Serengeti Safari Lodge, and the spectacular Sea Cliff Resort & Spa in Zanzibar, where your Superior Ocean View room opens up to panoramic maritime views.
For travelers seeking elevated opulence, Option 2 introduces ultra-luxury experiences, highlighted by the all-inclusive boutique canvas setups at Emayian Luxury Camp in the Maasai Mara (complete with private deck jacuzzis and a dedicated butler experience) alongside the deluxe coastal elegance of Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa. To check out our broader national portfolio of local lodge packages, short day trips, and resident wilderness drives, explore our Stejos Safari & Game Drive Packages.
Every logistical detail is accounted for—including border immigration handling at the Namanga border, regional light aircraft flights out of the Seronera Airstrip in the Serengeti to Zanzibar, and full day-trips to the historic Stone Town spice estates and Prison Island sandbanks.

What visa and health regulations must we plan for before departing the UK?

Yes, absolutely. A Hot Air Balloon safari can easily be built into your itinerary during your mornings in either the Maasai Mara (Day 3 or 4) or the Serengeti (Day 10 or 11). This optional excursion includes a dawn takeoff, a 1\u002Dhour flight over the migrating herds, and a classic champagne bush breakfast upon landing. Please coordinate with our Westlands booking desk to add this experience to your file before confirmation.
