The Grand Slam - Kenya & Tanzania Safari + Golf

Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transfer to your hotel in the leafy Karen suburb. Afternoon round at Karen Country Club, the historic course where Karen Blixen once walked and the Ngong Hills form the backdrop. A welcome dinner at the hotel introduces the twelve-day grand slam ahead.

A scheduled flight from Nairobi's Wilson Airport delivers you to the Masai Mara in under an hour. Transfer to your luxury camp in a private conservancy for an afternoon game drive across the golden savanna, where lion prides rest beneath balanite trees and elephants move through the grassland.

A full day exploring the Mara ecosystem with your expert Maasai guide. Morning drives focus on predator hotspots — the Mara River, the Talek crossing points, and the rocky outcrops where leopard hide. A picnic lunch on the savanna precedes afternoon drives into the conservancy, where off-road driving and night drives are permitted.

A morning game drive in the conservancy followed by a flight from the Mara to Arusha (via Nairobi connection). Arrive in Arusha and transfer to Gran Melia for an evening of rest before the Tanzania leg begins. Dinner at the hotel's signature restaurant.

Drive to the Great Rift Valley Golf Club for a morning round overlooking the escarpment and Lake Manyara below. The highland air is crisp and the views are staggering. After your round, descend into the Rift Valley for an afternoon game drive in Lake Manyara National Park — famous for tree-climbing lions and vast flocks of flamingos.

A scenic morning drive through the Ngorongoro Highlands and across the Serengeti's southern plains. Arrive at Singita Sabora Tented Camp in the exclusive Grumeti concession by early afternoon. Settle into your tented suite — all leather, canvas, and copper — before an afternoon game drive in the private reserve, where vehicle density is minimal and wildlife encounters feel genuinely intimate.

Transfer to Serengeti National Park Golf Course for the main event — your first round on the only championship course set within the boundaries of the Serengeti. Every hole delivers a new vista of grassland, kopjes, and wildlife. Return to Singita for an afternoon at leisure, followed by a sundowner drive through the Grumeti concession.

A full day exploring the Grumeti concession with your Singita guide. The private reserve spans 350,000 acres and supports a staggering density of wildlife — resident lion prides, large elephant herds, and during migration season, the western corridor fills with hundreds of thousands of wildebeest. Bush lunch and sundowners included.

Return to SNPGC for your fourth and final round of the grand slam. By now you know the course, you know the wildlife patterns, and you play with the relaxed confidence of a golfer who has earned every birdie the hard way. After your round, transfer to Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti for the final two nights.

An early transfer to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a full-day descent into the crater. The caldera floor is a 260-square-kilometre Eden where all five of the Big Five can be seen in a single morning. Picnic lunch by the hippo pools, then ascend back to the rim and return to Four Seasons for a farewell dinner.

A final sunrise game drive through the central Serengeti before the charter flight back to Arusha. Arrive mid-afternoon and transfer to the hotel for a rest before the closing dinner — a celebration of four rounds, two countries, and a safari that redefined the meaning of a golf trip.

After breakfast, transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward flight. Depart East Africa with four scorecards, a camera full of Big Five encounters, and the knowledge that you have completed the most ambitious golf safari on the continent.
