Pre- or post-trip extensions

On this adventure, you have the following extensions to choose from:

Kenya: A Journey Into the Great Rift Valley

5 nights Post-trip

Journey deep into the Great Rift Valley to visit Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru. Learn about prehistoric settlements, enjoy a sunset at one of world’s largest volcanic calderas, and go for game-viewing drives in intimate national parks that are havens for some of Kenya's most magnificent wildlife.

Tanzania: The Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti Safari

6 nights Pre-trip

Experience the greatest safari highlights of Tanzania while searching for the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara National Park, descending into the Ngorongoro Crater to seek out the “Big Five,” and camping out under the stars amidst the wildlife herds of the majestic Serengeti plains.

Arrive Early

Expand your discoveries by spending one, two, three—or more—days abroad in the first destination on your pre-trip extension or main adventure. By arriving early, you’re able to rest after your long flight and acclimate to your new destination and time zone—or you can hit the ground running and explore on your own.

Choosing this option lets you take advantage of our lower group rates and includes your accommodations, private airport transfer, and daily breakfast. On this adventure, you can choose from the following options:

Arrive early in Arusha before your Tanzania pre-trip extension — Travel from $170 per room per night
Arrive early in Kigali before your main adventure — Travel from $250 per room per night

Arrive Early

Combined adventures

If you’re already overseas, why not see more of the world and maximize your value by avoiding the expense and length of another international flight? Combine this adventure with Safari Serengeti: Tanzania Lodge & Tented Safari—a total cost of $10,590-$14,090 per person—for a savings of $1,500-$2,200 per person (depending on departure dates) compared to taking each trip separately. Additional benefits include:

Apply the 5% or 6% Frequent Traveler Credit you will earn on your first trip towards your second trip. Plus, Sir Edmund Hillary Club travelers save an extra $250-$350 per person when reserving multiple trips in a calendar year
Our Regional Adventure Counselors will work with you to make all necessary arrangements for a seamless experience

Air preferences

See some of the ways that 54% of O.A.T. travelers are personalizing their air itineraries on this adventure:

Choose your departure city, airline carrier, and preferred routing 
Depart from one city and return to another 
Upgrade your seat to Premium Economy or Business Class for a more relaxing experience to and from your adventure. Each airline has its own unique upgrade features, but here are the common perks associated with each class: Premium Economy normally features a larger seat, more leg room, and priority boarding, and Business Class features a smaller number of travelers in this section of the plane, a larger seat that can recline, more leg room, and priority boarding. Many travelers choose to upgrade their seat en route to the first destination on their adventure to arrive more rested and ready to explore—you can choose to upgrade for your roundtrip flight, or just one-way.

Freedom of choice during your adventure

We’ve carefully crafted this itinerary to provide a balance of included activities and free time, so you always have the flexibility to participate in included activities, go off on your own entirely, or do a mix of both. Whether it's on your optional extension or main itinerary, your Trip Experience Leader is available to help you pursue your own personal interests, and will help you with transportation, tickets, or anything else you need.

The choice is yours
