Reviews of 3 week Safari Tours
- 16 Days Kenya and Tanzania mid range driving Safari Holiday
I did a 6 day Amboseli and Masai Mara tour, fly in. Everything smooth as clockwork. Very nice places, and reliable service
- 15 Days Essential Kenya & Tanzania Expedition
My wife Pat and I have recently returned from our 15 day Safari to Kenya and Tanzania. The tour was operated by Steppe Dog Adventures. It was a remarkable experience. The planning and coordination were great. Name an African animal and we saw it, probably several times. The guides were remarkably knowledgeable and attentive. Accomidations were top notch. We whole-heartedly recommend this safari. It was spectacular.
- 15 Days Kenya Tanzania Mid Range Safari & Zanzibar Beach holiday 2025
I contacted John (Director of CKC) from Argentina and he was very helpful and professional in organizing the trip we wanted to make. Everything was perfect, the drivers in Kenya (Kenedy) and Tanzania (Juan) were very friendly. I highly recommend going to the Ngorongoro Crater, it's amazing! And Zanzibar is a paradise. Thanks John and CkC Tours and Travel I strongly recommend this travel agency
What our customers ask about 3 Week Safari
What are the main highlights and destinations covered in a 3-week safari tour?
A 3-week safari takes you through the most incredible places in East and Southern Africa. You'll track gorillas in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, watch massive herds migrate across Kenya's Masai Mara, and spot wildlife in Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Along the way, you'll sleep in unique places like the Mara West Tented Camp and get up close to the "Big Five" - lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and buffalo. The Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge gives you a perfect base to explore the area's rich wildlife.
What's the best time of year to take a 3-week safari tour?
The ideal timing really depends on where you want to go. If you're hoping to see the Great Migration in East Africa, plan your trip for July through October. That's when over a million wildebeest move between Kenya's Masai Mara (90°F/32°C) and Tanzania's Serengeti (81°F/27°C). For gorilla trekking in Uganda's Bwindi Forest, try the dry seasons from June to September or December to February when the trails are easier to navigate. If you're heading to Southern Africa, the dry winter months of May through October are perfect - temperatures stay between 46-73°F (8-23°C) and animals gather near water holes.
How many different national parks and reserves are typically visited during a 3-week safari tour?
You'll usually explore 6 to 8 major parks and reserves across several countries. Your journey might take you from Uganda's Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth parks to Kenya's Masai Mara and Amboseli, then on to Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Each place has something special - like the unusual tree-climbing lions in Lake Manyara or the huge elephant families in Tarangire National Park.
What kind of wildlife encounters can I expect on a 3-week safari tour?
You'll see an amazing variety of animals in their natural homes. Watch enormous herds of wildebeest and zebras move across the Serengeti and Masai Mara during migration season. In Ngorongoro Crater, you'll find over 20,000 large animals, including some of Tanzania's few remaining black rhinos. Amboseli offers great views of elephant herds with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background. In Bwindi Forest, you'll get close to mountain gorillas in their forest home. One TourRadar traveler mentioned that Lake Nakuru National Park was perfect for spotting flamingos, pelicans, and lions lounging in trees.
What type of accommodations can I expect during a 3-week safari tour?
You'll stay in a mix of comfortable places throughout your trip. These include nice lodges like the Masai Mara Sopa Lodge, permanent tented camps like the Serengeti Acacia Central Camp, and if you visit Zanzibar, beach resorts like Kiwengwa Beach Resort. Places like the Ngorongoro Farm House and Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge are right next to the parks, making wildlife viewing easy. Many TourRadar travelers love the Ole Sereni Hotel in Nairobi because you can see animals in Nairobi National Park right from your room.
How many travelers are typically in a 3-week safari tour group?
Groups are usually small, with 4 to 12 people traveling together in specially built 4x4 vehicles. When you're exploring places like the Masai Mara or Serengeti, vehicles only carry 6 to 8 people so everyone gets a window seat and clear views for photos. Some companies like CKC Tours & Travel also offer private safaris where you can travel just with your family or friends and stay in nice places like the Serengeti Kananga Tented Camp or Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge.
