Itinerary

  1. 1

    Arrive in Nairobi, where you'll be met and transferred to your hotel, marking the beginning of your unforgettable journey. Meet your expert East Africa Tour Director and, later this evening, get to know your fellow travellers.

  2. 2

    Nairobi, Ngorongoro Crater

  3. 3

    Ngorongoro Crater

    Today, you will enjoy a picnic lunch in the Ngorongoro Crater, giving you time to take in the outstanding landscape. Often referred to as ‘Africa’s Garden of Eden’ and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, the crater is surrounded by 600-metre high walls, providing a natural enclosure to vast numbers of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and lions. Make sure you have your camera ready to capture the abundant wildlife.

  6. 6

    Serengeti National Park

    Set off on a game drive at sunrise, where you’ll encounter an awe-inspiring array of animals, which may include wildebeest, impalas and African buffalos. Return to your luxurious lodge for some relaxation time, soaking up the stunning views and perhaps taking a refreshing dip in the infinity pool while basking in the African sun.

    Board a light aircraft for your scenic flight to the expansive Maasai Mara, a vast and stunning wilderness teeming with wildlife and breathtaking vistas.

    Signature Experience Lantern-Lit Bush Dinner

    Travel a short distance from your camp to a lantern-lit bush kitchen, where talented chefs will expertly prepare a delectable dinner featuring local specialties. Savour tantalising fare amid the enchanting sounds of the African bush, creating an extraordinary culinary experience you'll never forget.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
