The Ultimate Two Week Travel Itinerary for Kenya And Tanzania

12 Comments

• Last Updated On: September 10, 2023

Kenya and Tanzania are at the top of the bucket list for many people and perhaps the first things that come to mind when you think of a “safari”. Surreal landscapes, towering mountains, warm culture, and the most fantastic safaris African offer are just a few things you can expect from these two countries. The Masai Mara and Serengeti are also home to the Great Migration where millions of Wildebeests and Zebras cross from one reserve to the other attracting lurking predators making for the best safari experience you can imagine.

As Kenya and Tanzania share a border, it is very feasible to do the two countries together as part of the same trip. Like my two weeks spent in Peru and Bolivia , two weeks in Kenya and Tanzania is also a tight squeeze. You’ll be on the go constantly but you will end up seeing the main highlights of the two countries. I would recommend at least 4 weeks to see the two countries but that’s not the world we live in and who has 4 weeks off to travel somewhere??

In addition, this post will feature two itineraries: budget+midrange, and luxury (near the end of the post).

Where I went in Kenya and Tanzania

I came to East Africa in September which was at the tail end of the migration. The heart of the migration is in the month of August. I still was able to witness an insane amount of wildlife although not the crossing of the wildebeests. Expect to pay much higher rates during this period and be prepared to book accommodations well in advance!

Kenya and Tanzania share the same seasons. The dry season running from June to October offers the best game viewing in both countries. The rainy season runs from Dec to Apr with shoulder seasons in between.

In total, this itinerary is perfect for anyone with  14-16 days  to see both countries. These are the highlights of the trip

• Ngorongoro Crater

If these places ring a bell and sound like the places you want to visit, this is the perfect itinerary for you! I did my trip in that specific order but it is easy to mix and match depending on what you want to see.

Zanzibar is a beach destination and if this isn’t your jam, then consider doing a hike up Mount Kilimanjaro after the safaris in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Alternatively, the beaches around Mombasa, Kenya are just as pristine as Zanzibar but at a fraction of the costs and tourist numbers.

I did the entire trip on an overland tour with Acacia Africa. An overland trip will be more expensive than doing it yourself but I’d highly recommend them if you are one or two people and you don’t want the hassle of planning the trip. In addition, you get to meet some amazing people that will keep you entertained the entire trip. This itinerary focuses on those that are not planning to do an overland tour! For more info about overland tours, read my detailed Overland Tour Guide.

Is Kenya and Tanzania Safe to Travel?

This is a common question I always get about traveling through Africa. It’s not unfounded as you’re constantly being bombarded by the media in Western countries about crime statistics, poverty, political unrest and the like.

I’ve traveled extensively all around Africa and it’s like any other developing part of the world I’ve been to. There are some sketchy pockets but the vast majority of the country is completely fine. This is like  every country I’ve ever been to , first world or third world. Like South Africa’s safety  or Egypt’s safety , the big cities see more crime, and potential for crime picks up at night time. Avoid flashing the cash, reciprocate the friendly attitudes of the locals, try the local food and drinks, and you’ll be fine.

Visas for Kenya and Tanzania

Visas for the two countries can be purchased at the border or airport and do not require any preparation before hand. The Kenyan visa costs  $50 USD . Make sure your USD bills are crisp, post 2006 bills. They will turn away bills with wear and tear without hesitation.

For Tanzania, the fee is  $100 USD  for American citizens. All other Western countries (UK, EU, AU, CA etc.) will pay  $50 USD.  Not sure why Americans have to pay more here but perhaps something to do with reciprocation.

As of 2016, Tanzania has pulled out of the East Africa Visa which let people travel Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda on one visa for $100 USD. If you are planning to visit Uganda or Rwanda after this trip, it will make sense to purchase the East Africa Visa. Otherwise, it’s more economical to just purchase the Kenyan visa by itself.

Budget vs Not Budget Travel in Kenya and Tanzania

Africa is not a cheap place to travel with the exception of South Africa (which is very easy and cheap to travel through) . Sure the locals live off next to nothing but you’re not coming here to live like a local. You’re coming here to go on a safari and do touristy things. These safari experiences have long been catered to older wealthier retirees with money to spend.

Unlike South Africa’s Kruger which has accommodation and safari options in all price ranges, the offerings are much more scarce in Kenya and Tanzania.

For budget travelers, you can expect to stay in a tent if you want to keep costs below $100 a night. If you can spend $200-$400, you can expect to stay in a modest permanent tent with some amenities in place.

For luxury travelers , you can easily spend over $1,000 a night for a ridiculous 5* all inclusive lodge that has more amenities than you could ever imagine.

Full Kenya and Tanzania Itinerary

The Itinerary starts in Nairobi, the defacto International Hub of Eastern Africa. Nairobi’s International airport is world class and flights from all around the world come here. It’s most likely that the cheapest and easiest flights you can find will arrive here.

From Nairobi, head to the Masai Mara for an epic 3 day/2 night Big 5 safari in one of the most epic game reserves in Africa. Return to Nairobi before either taking the bus to Arusha or flying to Kilimanjaro. From these towns, an even more epic safari to the Serengeti for 3 days/2 nights and Ngorongoro Crater for 2 days/1 night awaits.

Then you will return to either Arusha or Kilimanjaro. A flight to Zanzibar is in order after this where you’ll spend the next 5-6 nights in paradise.

Day 1-2: Explore Nairobi

My flight landed in Nairobi around noon time. Because there is so much to do in this itinerary, I would elect to spend less time in Kenya’s capital and more time seeing the game reserves. There are plenty of things to do in Nairobi for tourists but like most African capitals, it is hectic and not a picturesque place. But like most African capitals, once you dedicate the time and effort to exploring the town (and meeting some cool locals), the place really opens up and is actually quite fun. For the purpose of this itinerary which is focused on tourism, Nairobi will just be a stopover before the Masai Mara.

As I had my whole afternoon to explore at my leisure, I went to the Giraffe Center. I very much enjoyed my visit here to learn and interact with giraffes. It is about 45 minutes from the downtown area but with  Uber readily available in Nairobi nowadays, it is very easy and incredibly affordable to visit. For a 40 minute Uber ride to the Giraffe Sanctuary, expect to pay under 1,000 shillings. The entrance fee for the Giraffe Sanctuary is 1,000 shillings.

From the Giraffe Sanctuary, have dinner at the famous Carnivore restaurant. This is a Brazilian Churascarria style restaurant that serves many different cuts of meat. Unlike the Carnivore in Johannesburg , this location does  not serve any game meats.

Where to stay in Nairobi:  For budget travelers, I recommend the Wildebeest Eco Camp  and for middle end accommodation, I recommend  Salmiya Place.

Day 2-4: Masai Mara

Finally, on to the good stuff! From Nairobi, it’s time to visit the famous Masai Mara. During July and August, if luck is on your side, you may be able to see the Great Migration. Literally millions of Wildebeests and Zebras cross from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara to seek new food sources. Lions and other predators follow suit making this a prime time to view the Big 5 in action!

• Read my detailed post on the Masai Mara

There are hundreds of tour companies in Nairobi that will offer to book your Masai Mara tour. You can join an overland tour like  Acacia Africa  or  Nomad  or  G Adventures , where you you will travel in a truck for the next two weeks visiting the highlights I have mentioned. You’ll also meet other travelers which can and will make the trip a lot more enjoyable!

Booking a Masai Mara Safari

Booking a safari to the Masai Mara can be complicated. You need to book your accommodation in the Masai Mara, but this usually doesn’t include game drives (unless you’re staying in a luxury lodge) which will cost extra but that’s the whole point of coming here so you’ll want to pay for this. You will also need to book a car transfer from Nairobi. My advice? Book everything all in one.

My preferred choice of accommodation on a budget is  Mara Explorers Camp and Backpackers which is next door to the  Enkolong Camp , another good option. The rates at these places are all inclusive of meals which are basic but still tasty. For a tent, expect to pay 5000 shillings a night per person and up to 8000 shillings a night for a little cottage. The best option is just to book their safari packages which include accommodation, food, transfer to and from Nairobi, and all game drives. These normally run $400-$500 per person for 3 days and 2 nights.

The schedule works like such:

• Pick up early in the morning from Nairobi
• Arrive in Masai Mara in the afternoon, just in time for a sunset drive
• Full day game drive on day 2
• Morning game drive on day 3 before arriving back in Nairobi at 17:00-18:00h

Where to stay in Masai Mara:  For budget travelers, Mara Explorers Camp and Backpackers Lodge , or Enkolong Camp . For midrange travelers, the Sekenani Camp.

Day 5: Nairobi to Arusha

After returning from an amazing Masai Mara safari, the next step is to reach Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania’s Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. From Nairobi, there are numerous bus companies that make the journey to Arusha.

There are two companies I have experience with, Riverside Shuttle and Marangu Shuttles.  The cost for this transfer is $25-$30 USD one way. They will pick you up from your accommodation in Nairobi as well. The vans/buses that they use are actually quite comfortable.

The Namanga border crossing can be quite a disaster at times but overall, the journey will take 4-6 hours depending on traffic on the road and at the border. Remember to have USD cash ready for the Tanzanian visa.

US Citizens need to pay $100 USD while other Western countries pay $50. Make sure the cash bills are crisp without any wear and tear.

What to do in Arusha

The transfer arrives in Arusha in the early afternoon. This is too late to go to the Serengeti right away as those trips only leave in the mornings (like in the Masai Mara). Don’t worry, there is plenty in Arusha to occupy you for a half day.

Accommodations in Arusha are in abundance and fairly cheap. I would recommend staying at the  White House of Tanzania  which is run by an amazing family. Loads of travelers stay here before going to the Serengeti which makes for a fun place to meet people.

Go for a Masai village walk here which is quite interesting and insightful. I loved my stay in Arusha and could have used another day to be honest. The food in town is delicious and the views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance is stunning as well!

Day 6-8: Serengeti Safari

Having been to a dozen different major game reserves on the continent, the Serengeti is firmly at the number 1 spot. The sheer abundance of wildlife here is stunning as I saw the Big5 within an hour, and the landscape is as picturesque as you can imagine. It’s the first image that comes to mind when you think of a safari. The Lion King movie is based off the Serengeti after all which is perhaps why the Serengeti comes to mind first for so many people.

• Read my detailed account of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater

Like the Masai Mara, the Serengeti is also expensive and the options are few. You can either do a camping safari for budget prices, or spring out for the ultra luxury lodges that can eclipse prices of $2,000 per night. There are various mid range options as well for $250-400 a night which I would highly recommend doing if you can swing it!

I would recommend 2 nights in the Serengeti and 1 night in the Ngorongoro Crater for a total of 4 days and 3 nights for the two parks. The Serengeti is 6-8 hours west of Arusha and the Ngorongoro Crater is 4-5 hours west of Arusha. It is very common to do these two parks on the same trip as they are both along the same road.

Where to stay in the Serengeti:  For budget travelers, you will likely be staying at a campsite within the outer ring of the park (still inside the park) as a part of a budget safari tour. For mid range, stay at the  Mbalageti Serengeti Camp.

Day 8-9: Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro crater is next up on the itinerary. This is one of my favorite places in Tanzania and the game viewing is spectacular. It’s much smaller than the Serengeti so one significant game drive is enough to get a feel for the area. Most tours will spent just 1 night in the Ngorongoro crater with a long game drive in the morning.

Due to its size and its crater shape, there are many animals densely packed in allowing for some fantastic game viewing. There are not many options to stay here, and everyone that is camping will be staying at the Ngorongoro Simba Campsite  which I found nice enough. If you want something a little nicer that is not camping, try the Rhino Lodge which is about $300 per night.

Where to stay in Ngorongoro Crater: For budget travelers, you’ll likely be staying in the  Ngorongoro Simba Campsite.  For midrange travelers, I recommend the  Pembani Rhotia

Day 10: Getting to Zanzibar from Arusha

From Arusha, there are two ways to get to Zanzibar; take a bus to Dar Es Salaam and then a ferry to Zanzibar, or fly. While the traditional backpacker way would be to take a bus and the ferry, I’m here to say that flying is the much better option.

Firstly, the bus ride from Arusha to Dar Es Salaam is long and arduous. The total journey time is 10-12 hours. Then you’ll have to overnight in Dar Es Salaam or a nearby town before taking the ferry to Zanzibar the following day. There are some cool little towns around Dar Es Salaam like Bagamoyo but it’s not worth the trouble to go all the way there just to stay a night. While the journey by road does offer some fantastic scenery and rustic experiences of the Tanzanian country-side, your precious time is much better spent Zanzibar with just two weeks!

Therefore, I would highly recommend taking a 1 hr flight from Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport to Zanzibar. Numerous airlines make the flight (Air Tanzania, Precision Air, ZanAir). These flights cost $100-$150 for a one way flight from Kilimanjaro and slightly more from Arusha.

For comparison, the bus from Arusha to Dar Es Salaam is $25. You’ll also need to pay to get to the bus station in Arusha and then to get to your guesthouse when you arrive in Dar Es Salaam, so add another $15 to that price and you get $40 for the bus transfer. The ferry from Dar Es Salaam to Zanzibar is $35 one way so the total cost to get from Arusha to Zanzibar is at least $75 USD.

That’s not a big savings when you compare it to a flight!

Day 10-15: Stone Town and Zanzibar

The last part of the trip is enjoying the culture and pristine beaches of Zanzibar. You can’t go wrong with any itinerary in Zanzibar to be honest but do know that the island itself is very large and getting around is expensive. Having a plan of attack is definitely necessary. With 5 nights, you can adequately explore a bit of the island.

• Read my detailed post on Zanzibar

Stone Town, Zanzibar City

Stone Town is the starting point for most visitors to Zanzibar. It’s the largest city on Zanzibar Island and is one of the most fascinating cities in Africa. It reminds me a bit of Ilha De Mozambique . Spices from all around the world were brought to Zanzibar in the old days and are harvested to this day. It’s also a giant melting pot of cultures as African, Arabian, and Indian all converge on one island. The result is some incredibly unique and delicious food.

There are no nice beaches in Stone Town but the food and cultural experience alone is worth at least a night. If you’re looking for a budget trip to Zanzibar, I would stay 2 nights in Stone Town to explore the markets, go on a Spice Tour, and visit the historic sites like the slave markets. Then spend 3 nights in a beach destination like Nungwi or Kendwa

Beaches in Zanzibar

Zanzibar is perhaps known for two things: Pristine Indian ocean beaches and the birthplace of Freddy Mercury. Focusing on the beaches part, Zanzibar has a long coastline of turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. The resorts are scattered all along Zanzibar’s coast with the highest concentration on the eastern part of the island.

The whole Eastern side of the island is one long atoll reef. Like the Quirimbas Archipelago in Mozambique , the tide movements are quite drastic. In the mornings, it’s possible to walk out a half kilometer on the sandy beach.

Zanzibar has fantastic scuba diving and snorkeling, as well as a myriad of other water activities on tap like kitesurfing, windsurfing, the Safari Blue day trip, and the ultra famous Rock Restaurant.

Where to stay in Zanzibar:  For budget travelers, Garden Beach Bungalows, Sagando, and Paje hotels can be booked for under $50/night. For a slightly better experience, I’d recommend Queen of Sheba, Zanzistar, and Mnana Beach Bungalows. You can find rooms at these mid-range accommodations for around $100 a night.

For a higher price range, stay at the Dreams of Zanzibar Hotel in the Northeast area of Kiwengwa. You can get an all inclusive stay for 2 people for $300-350 a night. The food here was absolutely fantastic and the rooms were a treat especially after 10 days of (not so difficult) camping.

Luxury Travel Itinerary For Kenya and Tanzania

Luxury travel around Kenya and Tanzania is a whole different ballgame. You may as well disregard everything above this section! If you’re going on a honeymoon or if money is of no object (or both), this is the itinerary for you.

There will be no 7 hour car rides or waiting 2 hours at the border for no reason other than it just being Africa. No tents with sleeping bags, and certainly no drop toilets. For luxury safari seekers, this is the perfect itinerary for you. Note that it is of course possible to combine elements of a luxury trip with a more budget trip, it all just depends on how much money you want to spend.

Flying everywhere in Kenya and Tanzania

Believe it or not, there are actually flights from Nairobi to the Masai Mara, the Mara to the Serengeti, the Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater, and from the crater to Arusha or Kilimanjaro. Technically, you do  not need to take any bus rides in Kenya and Tanzania if you don’t want to. Not a single one!  Safari Link  is a charter airline that flies within Kenya to all the little airstrips in the Masai Mara.  Coastal Aviation is its counterpart in Tanzania.

Fly from Nairobi to the Masai Mara

Instead of the grueling 7 hour drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara, take a flight with Safari Link airlines instead. From Nairobi, there are two daily flights to the Masai Mara. Your lodge will pick you up from the airstrip when you arrive. Expect to pay around $200 USD for a one way flight.

• Click here for Safari Link’s schedule and rates

Fly from the Masai Mara to the Serengeti

This one is a bit trickier. There are no direct roads leading from the Mara to the Serengeti even though it might look like it does on a map. For the average traveler, getting from the Masai mara to the Serengeti involves going back to Nairobi, taking a bus to Arusha, and then a transfer to the Serengeti the following day. All in all, about 2 full days of travel.

Alternatively, you can fly from the Masai Mara back to Nairobi, and take another flight to Kilimanjaro Airport. Kilimanjaro airport is the larger more central airport in Tanzania (about 1 hour east of Arusha). There are multiple daily flights from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro airport. From Kilimanjaro Airport, take a land transfer to the Serengeti (7-8 hours).

This is all a lot of work. There must be a way to just fly direct from the Masai Mara to the Serengeti right? The answer is  yes .

Coastal Aviation in conjunction with  Safari Link offers flights between the two reserves. From the Masai Mara, take a Safari Link flight to Migori Airstrip , which is the border town of Kenya and Tanzania. From Migori, you’ll take a car transfer to Tarime, Tanzania which is included in the price of the airfare. Similar to crossing the Peru-Bolivia border , Safari link can only operate in Kenya and Coastal Aviation only in Tanzania.

• Click here for Coastal Aviation’s schedule and rates

From Tarime, take the Coastal Aviation flight to Arusha. There are numerous airstrips within the Serengeti where different ultra luxury lodges reside, and this Coastal Aviation flight stops at each of them like a bus.

Fly from the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater

Continue with Coastal Aviation and take the flight to Lake Manyara where your lodge in the Ngorongoro crater will pick you up. It’s a 1 hour car transfer from Lake Manyara airport to the Ngorongoro Crater.

Fly from the Ngorongoro Crater to Zanzibar

From Lake Manyara, take Coastal Aviation to Arusha or Kilimanjaro. Both airports offer regular daily transfers to Zanzibar. You also don’t need to continue flying with Coastal Aviation if you don’t want but it might be easier just to continue with them all the way to Zanzibar.

Luxury Lodge Options in Kenya and Tanzania

There are so many expensive lodging options that anyone not planning a luxury trip will be sad to read this section. You have been warned. I will list the options by luxury ($350-$1,000 a night for two people) and ultra luxury (Over $1,000 a night for two people).

Note that the Serengeti is absolutely massive and if you are targeting a visit during the migration months, I would recommend staying in the Northern section of the Serengeti. This is where all the action will be as the herds migrate from the Serengeti into the Masai Mara.

Giraffe Manor –  World famous lodge outside of Nairobi where you can have breakfast and feed giraffes directly outside your window. Perhaps the most Instagram worth place on the entire trip!

Jaw dropping post here, Johnny!

The luxury lodges looks incredible!

We went to Tanzania recently and fell in love and can’t wait to go back! We’d love to explore more and go to Kenya too! Hopefully soon!

Thank you for your insight!

Very helpful post thank you!

JUST AMAZING! THIS IS THE KIND OF BLOG POST I WAS LOOKING FOR

Hi Annette glad you enjoyed it and happy travels!

What a great post, thanks for sharing!

Outstanding fun you have there. Good Luck!

Wow! This is so detailed and helpful! I’ve always just considered choosing between Kenya or Tanzania. Both countries have their own unique attractions. I think in the end it all boils down to what you are really up for during the trip. I hear if you’re leaning towards a vibrant city nightlife coupled with amazing natural landmarks then Kenya is the place to be. But if you’re more into enjoying the vast wilderness and wildlife plus a relaxing time at the beach then Tanzania is ideal. I guess getting to enjoy the best of both would definitely be ideal, just like how you did it.

I would agree with that! Nairobi definitely has a vibrant city life and the Serengeti in Tanzania for me is the ultimate wildlife experience.

The Tanzanian government has been leaning towards Southern Africa than East Africa. This also makes it difficult for Kenya tour vehicles with Kenyan registration plates to enter Tanzania parks.

That is interesting to hear! So do you think the chances that Tanzania resumes their participation in the East Africa Visa is slim?

Yeah i wouldn’t count on it. Last year a group of maasai herdsmen crossed over from Kenya to Tanzania and their cows were seized and auctioned. You gotta remember these borders are really just on the map in most areas so its hard to even know where Kenya ends and Tanzania begins.

This is the most comprehensive African safari we offer to the finest wildlife park & reserves of Kenya and Tanzania . Headline names and legacy parks like Masai Mara , and Serengeti , are known throughout the world for their immense prides of lions and millions of wildebeests.

But this tour will also bring you to such treasures as “Land of the Giants” Amboseli Park with its great tusker elephants and the world’s largest, most intact volcanic caldera, Ngorongoro Crater , a blue/green haven overflowing with wildlife.

You’ll discover plenty of elusive rhinos and almost impossible-to-find chimps at the most unusual Ol Pejeta Conservancy . Going north and upcountry, at Aberdare Park , we’ll safari to a land of cool mountain forests, lakes, and streams, spotting elephants, giant forest antelope, and buffalo. And then stay in a forest “treehouse”.

Next, contrast those alpine heights with the dry rugged beauty of Samburu Reserve , home to lions and extraordinary species like oryx, Somali ostrich, and reticulated giraffe. Then we’ll contrast yet again as we reach the cool blue waters of Lake Naivasha complete with a fun sailing safari past the hippos!

Tarangire and Lake Manyara Parks are out-of-the-way reserves that both hold special surprises – wild baobab trees, giant termite mounds, great swaths of feathery pink flamingoes, and even tree-climbing lions.

We haven’t left anything out. This complete two-week safari will land us in every ecosystem in the region and an unending parade of wildlife. Plus, we’ll have multiple opportunities to meet and interact with the indigenous peoples of the area, the Samburu and the Maasai . So join us for this most immersive safari experience in Africa’s most accessible countries – Kenya and Tanzania .

What’s Cool About These Parks?

You’ll know you’re in Amboseli Park when you see the imposing snow-capped peak of nearby Mt. Kilimanjaro . But you’ll also know because of the great trains of elephant families parading before you – so many here we guarantee sightings!

Samburu Reserve  is not overly touristed but that means more room for you and its generous populations of lions and elephants. But safari-goers also make a special trip here to see the “ Samburu Five ”- these are the unique unusuals like the gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, Grevys zebra, Somali ostrich, and beisa oryx.

At Ol Pejeta Conservancy , you’ll enjoy views of Mt. Kenya and discover lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos. Amazingly, this is the only place in Kenya where you can enjoy seeing playful chimpanzees at the Sweetwaters Sanctuary .

Ever been on a sailing safari? Or for that matter, a bicycle safari? At Lake Naivasha, we’ll sail past grazing antelope and buffalo on the shore. An optional visit to nearby Hell’s Gate Park will seat us on bicycles, pedaling by zebra, giraffe, and antelope.

Which is more impressive – legendary Masai Mara with its uncountable lions, leopards, cheetahs, and wildebeests? Or world-famous Serengeti with its uncountable lions, leopards, and wildebeests? You’ll visit both. You decide!

We’ll next descend into a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the form of a spectacular lush universe of wildlife, the Ngorongoro Crater . This volcanic caldera is dense with lions, elephants, buffalo, rhino, zebra, hippos, and even pink flamingoes in a setting that seems like an adventure movie.

As we mentioned, the next park is your choice. Tarangire Park has its own mini-wildlife migration, “mini” here means some 250,000 animals! Lovely little Lake Manyara Park is a busy world of colorful birdlife – a vast sea of pink flamingoes, and a beautiful acacia forest filled with monkeys, baboons, and lions… resting up in the trees! 

For two action-filled weeks, we’ll safari to the most brilliant parks of Kenya and Tanzania surrounded by lions, giraffes, flamingoes, and much more. Can you see yourself on this ultimate adventure?

Depending on your choice of accommodation you can enjoy extras like a bush breakfast/lunch/ dinner, traditional dances around the boma, massage, aromatherapy, Ayurveda, special dietary menus, dinner at a Maasai homestead, game walks, overlook a natural watering hole, and more.

Stay Connected or Not. Your Choice.

We realize you’re on safari to get away from the usual. Still, there are times you may want to go online… perhaps to share your photos and adventures with friends. Our safari vehicles connect with Wi-Fi , about 75% of the time so you can usually connect when you want.

The Details

No one is more important to the success of your safari than your guide . At Africa Kenya Safaris , we have the friendliest, most experienced driver/guides. They will guide, host, inform and look after you like the special guest you are. That’s our guarantee.

You’ll safari in style out to the parks in your own private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep – the best way to experience Africa with its higher seating for better views and its rugged all-wheel drive.

We give you more at AKS – customization, flexibility, and lots of choices. Your safari includes park entrance fees, game drives, accommodations, and meals. Plus, we always offer economy, comfort, superior comfort, or luxury safari lodges or tented camps.

Nairobi – Amboseli National Park

3 - 4 hour drive.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner

7:30 am – are you ready for adventure? Let’s begin two full weeks of non-stop safari!  Your Africa Kenya Safaris driver/guide will swing by in a private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep, your main viewing platform for the next fourteen days.

We’ll take off for Amboseli National Park , heading down the Nairobi – Mombasa Highway. We’ll pass local homesteads and plantations. As we enter Maasai country, look for the local herders in their bright plaid wraps, tending their flocks.

The snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro is your cue that the park is near.

Your guide will get you settled at the first of your many accommodations – your safari lodge or tented camp. We’ll have lunch and set out on our first game drive.

If you haven’t already spotted the elephants, you should soon, marching alone and in families, they are a beautiful sight.

While we’re at Amboseli, toward the evenings and perhaps in the early mornings, look for the clouds covering Kilimanjaro’s peak to lift for one of Africa’s most iconic images.

It’s been a busy first day and you can relax and swap stories over dinner at your Amboseli safari lodge or tented camp.

Full Day at Amboseli Park

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Welcome to your first morning on safari! This is a peaceful quiet time when everyone – human and animal steps into the soft morning light of the new day.

One of the special aspects of our two-week safari is that our visits to several of the parks will span over three days, including one full day of game drives. This is the first of these special discovery days.

After breakfast, we’ll jump into the 4 x 4 and start our exploring around the park looking for buffalo, rhino, zebra, monkeys, baboons, and of course, lions and cheetahs.

Up on Observation Hill , we’ll leave our 4 x 4 to stretch and take in the park’s many habitats. Over in the marshes we’re certain to spot some of the busy birdlife such as heron, falcon, eagle, egret, pelican, crake, and Egyptian goose.

We’ll enjoy lunch and then set out for more drives as you get to better know the park and also become more acquainted with your guide – your host, friend, and teacher for the next two weeks.

In the late afternoon, check out Kilimanjaro for more picture-taking opportunities

Then it’s back to our accommodation for a relaxing dinner and second safari evening.

Amboseli – Aberdare Park

6 hour drive.

Let’s take another drive through the park and then head to our second destination, Aberdare Park .

Say ‘safari’ and you think of warm golden savannahs but Aberdare puts a different spin on the typical African adventure. This is an alpine land of cool lush forests and mountain lakes.

The wildlife is different too – we’ll be exploring for buffalo, giant antelope, forest hog, hyenas, warthogs, and monkeys. You may even spot this wildlife from your balcony at your special “tree hotel”.

While at Aberdare, you can choose to stay at the Treetops Lodge or The Ark.

Note: Only overnight bags are allowed at your Tree hotel. We will secure your other luggage.

Aberdare – Samburu Reserve

4 hour drive.

Come morning, we’ll descend from our tree hotel and depart this cool mountain climate for the sunlit broad plains of Samburu National Reserve .

You’ll find the big cats here and plenty of elephants but not a lot of tourists.

We may also visit some neighboring reserves if you wish, the Shaba and Buffalo Springs offer forests and woodlands for a nice contrast to Samburu.

We will spend the evening at our Samburu lodge or tented camp.

Full Day at Samburu Reserve

As with Amboseli Park, we are lucky to have a full day of game drives today. It’s our fifth day on safari – just about the time other safaris are ending… but we’re just getting started!

Our game drives will take us to the Ewaso Ngiro River , a lifeline cutting through the park and a perfect place to spot the park’s thirsty lions and elephants.

We’ll also be looking for Samburu’s unique species like the beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, and Grevy’s zebra.

As mentioned earlier, this can also be an opportunity for a cultural moment with the nearby Samburu People . If you wish, we can visit their village and learn about their unique lifestyle.

This will be our second evening at our Samburu accommodation.

Samburu Reserve – Ol Pejeta

3 hour drive.

We’ll take one more spin around the plains of Samburu before heading to Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the cooler Laikipia region.

Ol Pejeta has several claims to fame: it’s the closest reserve to Nairobi where one can spot all of Africa’s “Big Five” – lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, and elephant.

Plus, it offers chances to see the rare African wild dog, not seen at most parks.

Perhaps even more special, this is the only place in Kenya where you can see chimpanzees in a natural setting.

Over dinner, we will relax and share stories at our Ol Pejeta accommodation.

Ol Pejeta – Lake Naivasha

From Ol Pejeta we will travel to the cool shores of Lake Naivasha , a freshwater lake that hosts hippos, plus zebra, giraffe, and antelope.

If you want, we can also visit neighboring Hell’s Gate Park , and even go on a bicycling safari. Just imagine pedaling your way past buffalo, antelope, and giraffes as they graze. A most unique safari moment.

We’ll enjoy dinner at our Lake Naivasha safari lodge or tented camp.

Lake Naivasha – Masai Mara

5 - 6 hour drive.

How many times have you begun your day with a sailing safari?

This is that day! We’ll take an easy water exploration of the lake, sailing past the hippos and viewing the grazing buffalo and antelope on the nearby shore.

We’ve added a bonus to your tour – we’ll take a quick trip to nearby Crescent Island Game Sanctuary for more close-up views of such wildlife as wildebeest, waterbuck, zebra, and giraffe.

And now we’re off to the crown of Kenya’s parks, the great Masai Mara National Reserve , home to the big cats, elephants, and the Great Migration of wildebeests.

We should arrive at the park in time for an afternoon game drive over the reserve’s signature green rolling hills with their iconic acacia trees.

You won’t have to look far or long to begin spotting the wildlife – these active fields and savannahs are part of the richest ecosystem in Africa.

We will spend the first of two nights at our Masai Mara lodge or tented camp.

Full Day at Masai Mara Reserve

Just as at Amboseli and Samburu, we will enjoy a day of unlimited game drives throughout the vast reaches of this beautiful park. The Mara is known for its large numbers of big cats – lions, cheetahs, and leopards, plus jackals, hyenas, and more.

Providing sustenance for these awesome predators are the uncountable grazers that fill the park’s fields and forests. Those numbers rise significantly during the season of the Great Migration from July – October.

We will enjoy a picnic lunch down at the Mara River, site of the migration’s wildlife crossing into the park. Here the thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelle will try to evade the waiting crocodiles and make it to the opposite shore. An unbelievable spectacle. 

While at the Mara you can add to your safari with our optional activities. Take a cultural moment to visit a local Maasai village and meet the original people of this land as you learn about their pastoral lifestyle.

You’ve taken a sailing safari, a bicycle safari… how about a hot air balloon safari . This optional sunrise activity will have you gliding over the park as the morning light brings the reserve to life. This is a moment you’ll never forget.

We will spend our second evening relaxing at our Mara accommodation.

Masai Mara – Serengeti Park

It’s our third day in the Masai Mara and we might want to visit a favorite spot before we head to the border, crossing over to Tanzania and our next big destination – Serengeti National Park .  

This world-famous reserve sits directly across from the Masai Mara. It is from the Serengeti where those unending hordes of wildebeests that we saw came.

The park is immense, even larger than the Masai Mara and the numbers of wildlife here are accordingly immense – 1,000 leopards, over 4,000 lions.

We’ll take the first game drive of our three-day safari in the great park.

Come late afternoon, we’ll head to our Serengeti lodge or tented camp and unwind.

Full-Day Serengeti Park

Just like at the Masai Mara, the day is yours to explore as much as you please. The Serengeti is alive with its own world of wildlife – besides the big cats, we’ll be tracking for elephant, rhino, giraffe, eland, gazelle, klipspringer, warthog, monkey, impala, honey badger, African wild dog, hippos, and more.

During the year, you’ll witness different aspects of the wildebeest migration in the park. From June through October, you’ll spot the immense hordes of grazers herding off to the Masai Mara, searching for taller grasses and water.

December to March is the calving season when you’ll witness incredible numbers of wildebeest, zebra, and others giving birth in the Serengeti region of Ndutu.

The wildlife, both predators and grazers are always present in massive displays in this amazing park.

We’ll spend our second evening at our Serengeti accommodation.

Serengeti Game Reserve – Ngorongoro Crater

4 - 5 hour drive.

We’ll take our last drive through the grand Serengeti and now turn toward another signature African destination, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and its world-famous crater.

But first, en route, we’ll make a stop at an equally significant piece of African history, the anthropological treasures at Olduvai Gorge . For decades, the gorge has yielded amazing ancient fossilized pieces of humankind’s history. In these sediment beds were found bones, tools, and other artifacts of our ancestors’ early development going back millions of years.

From that famous landmark, we’ll next land at the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera on the planet.

Hang tight as our 4 x 4 Jeep descends the steep crater walls into a colorful realm holding every manner of wildlife – a dense self-contained region of lions, buffalo, elephant, baboon, hippos… even pink flamingoes.

We’ll spend an active day down here in this dense world, thick with animals and birds.

Toward late afternoon we’ll go back up the steep caldera walls in time to enjoy another special moment, a spectacular Ngorongoro sunset at the crater’s rim.

We’ll enjoy dinner and talk tales of our busy day at our Ngorongoro accommodation.

Ngorongoro Crater -Tarangire Park Or Lake Manyara

You’re experienced safari goers now and can easily rise before the sun. If you do, you’ll be rewarded with an amazing sunrise at the crater’s rim to equal last night’s sunset.

And now you have a choice as to your next destination – Tarangire or Lake Manyara Park.

Off the beaten trail, Tarangire Park is special as it is home to its own smaller migration of lions, leopards, elephants, warthogs, ostriches, and many more species, numbering around 250,000 animals.

Of note in this unique park are its huge startling baobab trees , with their heavy trunks and spindly branches reaching toward the heavens. There is nothing quite like them.

Also, not a heavily touristed park, Lake Manyara , is a colorful gem with its pretty blue lake creating a contrasting backdrop for its fluttering clouds of bright pink flamingoes on the shore. You’ll also find heron, ibis, spoonbill, egrets, and many other bird species.

Manyara’s delightful acacia woods are filled with monkeys, baboons, and a sight you won’t find elsewhere – tree-climbing lions!

We will spend our last safari evening at either our Tarangire or Lake Manyara accommodation.

Tarangire Park or Lake Manyara – Arusha

2-hour drive.

Meals: Breakfast and Lunch

Can you believe we’ve been on safari for two whole weeks? How many can say they’ve seen and experienced all that you have – an incredible array of ecosystems – forests, savannahs, deserts, mountain lakes, and volcanic craters?

And the wildlife – dozens of species by the thousands. Not to mention our special moments meeting with the indigenous peoples of these lands. 

We hope this was an unforgettable, perhaps life-changing experience for you and your companions. From the entire team at Africa Kenya Safaris , thank you for your deep commitment to these sacred lands and our magnificent wildlife!

Safari de lujo de 16 días por lo mejor de Kenia y Tanzania

Nuestro Safari Migration Lodge de 14 días por Kenia y Tanzania fue extraordinario. Desde el momento en que llegamos a Nairobi hasta la despedida final, cada día estuvo lleno de momentos sobrecogedores y experiencias inolvidables. Nuestra aventura comenzó con una cálida bienvenida en Nairobi, traslado al hotel Ole Sereni, donde nuestro experto guía nos informó del viaje que nos esperaba. El lujoso alojamiento nos proporcionó una mezcla perfecta de comodidad e inmersión en la naturaleza africana. El Parque Nacional de Amboseli, en Kenia, fue nuestra primera parada, y la visión de majestuosos elefantes vagando con el monte Kilimanjaro como telón de fondo nos dejó sin aliento. Fuimos testigos de emocionantes encuentros con la fauna durante nuestros safaris, incluidos encuentros cercanos con leones y guepardos. Al cruzar a Tanzania, la frontera fue un poco lenta pero estuvo bien organizada con guías cambiantes, desde Zack el genio hasta John M. El Parque Nacional del Lago Manyara nos encantó con sus diversos paisajes y su abundante avifauna. Avistar leones trepando a los árboles fue un punto culminante, y el safari en barco por el lago Manyara ofreció una perspectiva serena de la belleza del parque. El Parque Nacional del Serengeti fue el epítome de la magia de los safaris. Ser testigo directo de la Gran Migración fue un sueño hecho realidad mientras veíamos a miles de ñus y cebras atronando las llanuras. Nuestro alojamiento, situado en el borde del Serengeti, ofrecía vistas ininterrumpidas de la vasta sabana y puestas de sol inolvidables. Descender al cráter del Ngorongoro fue como entrar en un mundo perdido rebosante de vida salvaje. Nos maravilló la enorme abundancia de animales en este anfiteatro natural, desde gráciles gacelas hasta poderosos rinocerontes. El gran final nos esperaba en la Reserva Nacional Maasai Mara. Los cruces del río Mara fueron el punto culminante de nuestro safari, ya que contuvimos la respiración viendo el dramático espectáculo que se desplegaba ante nuestros ojos. Nuestro experto guía John , se aseguró de que tuviéramos asientos de primera fila para el mayor espectáculo de la naturaleza. Cada noche, nos reuníamos alrededor de la hoguera bajo el cielo estrellado, compartiendo historias de las aventuras del día y escuchando los sonidos de la noche africana. La hospitalidad del personal del albergue nos hizo sentir como en familia, y la deliciosa cocina fue una deliciosa sorpresa. Al despedirnos de Kenia y Tanzania, llevábamos con nosotros recuerdos que durarán toda la vida. Este safari superó todas las expectativas, gracias a la impecable planificación y al servicio personalizado. Fue realmente el viaje de mi vida, y no puedo esperar a volver al abrazo salvaje de África.Masai Mara coronó todo el sabor de un Safari Fotográfico de África - Sopa Lodges sabrosamente situados en grandes vistas de la puesta de sol gracias Zack de nuevo por recogernos desde el otro punto fronterizo para este gran encuentro con la vida salvaje . Recomendaría esta excursión a muchas personas que realmente quieran ver la gran diversidad de paisajes y lagos, además de las llanuras de África: las llanuras de Serenegeti y Mara.

Safari Guide to Kenya and Tanzania: The Heart of Africa’s Wildlife

Introduction to the wonders of kenya and tanzania safaris.

In our “Safari Guide to Kenya and Tanzania,” we delve into the heart of Africa, a land of vast landscapes and untamed wilderness, holding the secrets of nature that many travelers yearn to uncover. Kenya and Tanzania, two countries at the core of this exploration, together offer an unparalleled safari experience. But what makes these nations stand out amid a continent renowned for its wildlife adventures?

Beyond the majestic wildlife and breathtaking vistas, Kenya and Tanzania boast a rich tapestry of culture, history, and hospitality. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic wedding on the serene beaches of Zanzibar or seeking a vacation that melds adventure with relaxation, these destinations offer memories that linger for a lifetime. Dive deep into the rhythm of Africa and discover why Kenya and Tanzania are jewels in the crown of global travel destinations.

Why Venture on a Safari in Kenya and Tanzania?

Venturing on a Kenya and Tanzania safari isn’t just about witnessing wildlife; it’s an immersion into a unique abundance of nature and culture . With a trustworthy safari guide at your side, you’ll uncover hidden gems that go beyond the iconic Big Five .

Kenya safari offers vast savannahs dotted with acacia trees, while Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater serves as nature’s amphitheater, teeming with diverse wildlife. Opt for a Kenya-Tanzania safari tour, and you’ll bridge the beauty of both lands, gaining insights into their distinct environments and traditions.

Whether it’s the great wildebeest migration in the Serengeti or meeting the Maasai Mara tribes, the Kenya and Tanzania tours promise more than just sights – they offer transformative experiences. So, if you’re debating Tanzania or Kenya safari, why not choose both and double the wonder!

Picking the Perfect Season: Best Time to Embark on a Kenya Tanzania Safari

The Ideal Time For Your Visit

Kenya and Tanzania, two gemstones of East Africa, offer varying climates throughout the year. As a safari guide might advice, the season you choose can drastically influence your experience. Dry seasons, from late June to October and January to February , offer optimum wildlife viewing with less vegetation obscuring your sight.

The Great Migration Timing

The grand spectacle, The Great Migration , is a scene like no other. From July to September , a mesmerizing display of over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move between the Serengeti in Tanzania and Masai Mara in Kenya. If a Kenya and Tanzania safari tour is on your bucket list, timing it with this natural wonder is a must.

Yet, every season has its charm; a Kenya safari might allure with calving in February, while a Tanzania safari entices with predator action during migration. Regardless of when you plan your Kenya and Tanzania tour, nature’s raw beauty promises to captivate.

Highlights and Attractions: From the Serengeti to the Maasai Mara

Maasai Mara National Reserve

Dive deep into Kenya’s pristine wilderness at the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Often highlighted by any seasoned safari guide, this reserve stands as a crowning jewel of Kenya safaris. Less commonly known, the Mara offers unique nocturnal safaris, unveiling a secretive world where nature’s nocturnes come alive.

The Serengeti National Park

Across the border, Tanzania offers the vast expanse of The Serengeti National Park. While many associate this park with the Great Migration, fewer realize that it houses one of the largest lion populations globally. A Kenya and Tanzania safari tour bridges the experience of both these iconic locations, showcasing diverse ecosystems.

Embarking on a Kenya Tanzania safari, travelers not only witness wildlife but also immerse in the age-old dance between predator and prey. Whether your heart is set on a Kenya or Tanzania safari, each destination offers unparalleled moments. Choose your adventure, and let the wonders of East Africa captivate your spirit.

Experiencing the Delightful Kenya and Tanzania Cuisine

Kenya’s Signature Dish: Ugali

A trip to Kenya isn’t complete without tasting Ugali, a staple maize porridge. Paired often with sukuma wiki (collard greens) or Nyama Choma (grilled meat), it captures the essence of Kenyan comfort food. Each bite not only offers a taste of home-cooked goodness but also provides insights into Kenya’s culinary heritage. It’s a must-try during any Kenya safari, adding a flavor-packed experience.

Tanzania’s Culinary Gem: Zanzibar Pizza

Tanzania surprises with its Zanzibar Pizza, a delightful street food unique to the islands. Unlike any traditional pizza, this treat is a blend of meat, veggies, and egg wrapped in thin dough, fried to perfection. It’s a testament to Tanzania’s blend of cultures and flavors. Dive into this dish during a Tanzania or Kenya and Tanzania tour, and savor a piece of Zanzibar’s heart.

The heart and soul of Kenya and Tanzania aren’t just in their vast landscapes and wildlife, but also in their rich, flavorful dishes. As you journey through these lands, let your taste buds explore as fervently as your eyes do. Delight in the traditional flavors, and leave with a gastronomic memory as vivid as the safaris themselves.

Seeking Accommodations Amidst Wilderness: A Mix of Luxury and Budget Options in Kenya and Tanzania

Indulge in opulent lodges offering unparalleled experiences, with panoramic views and top-tier amenities. Alternatively, discover budget-friendly gems that provide a cozy touch, ensuring comfort and authenticity on every step of your African adventure.

Luxury Accommodations

Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge

Nestled amidst the Amboseli National Park, this lodge offers a vantage point to the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro while ensuring luxury and comfort. It’s more than just a stay; it’s an experience that a safari guide often touts as unmatched.

Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge

On the flip side, in Tanzania, travelers are welcomed with distinct elegance, especially at places like the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. Strategically situated at the edge of the renowned Ngorongoro crater, this haven offers breathtaking vistas and an intimate proximity to native wildlife. It’s not merely a place to rest, but a destination in itself for those on a Kenya and Tanzania safari tour. Experience Tanzania’s splendor wrapped in luxury.

Budget-Friendly Stays

Kibo Safari Camp

Kibo Safari Camp in Amboseli strikes a balance between budget and experience. With traditional tented accommodations set against a backdrop of the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro, guests can immerse themselves in nature without sacrificing essential comforts. The camp’s ambiance is perfect for those wanting an authentic yet pocket-friendly Kenyan retreat.

Panorama Campsite

Panorama Campsite, located near Ngorongoro, promises visitors an intimate Tanzanian experience. Its rustic charm, with basic tents and campfires, allows travelers to connect deeply with the wild. The serene surroundings, coupled with starry nights and echoing wildlife calls, make it an affordable yet enriching choice for many.

Kenya and Tanzania have something for every traveler, with both luxury spots and budget-friendly places to stay. No matter where you choose to rest, the magic of the safari stays the same. Every place, whether pricey or affordable, adds to the adventure. Go on a journey that fits your budget, and make memories that last forever.

Estimating Your Adventure: Average Costs in Kenya and Tanzania Safaris

Embarking on a Kenya and Tanzania safari tour promises unforgettable encounters with Africa’s diverse wildlife. But, how do you estimate the expenses?

Key Considerations in Navigating Your Safari Budget

Typical Safari Pricing Breakdown

Safari costs in Kenya and Tanzania aren’t just about spotting majestic lions. You’re also investing in a holistic experience: from knowledgeable safari guides offering lesser-known wildlife insights to access to untouched natural parks. Additionally, prices incorporate park entrance fees, camping or lodge accommodations, and sometimes even meals. It’s essential to understand the full spectrum of costs to ensure a seamless, hassle-free safari experience.

Accommodation, Travel, and Guided Tours

When budgeting, consider three pivotal aspects: where you’ll rest after a day’s adventure, your travel logistics within and between Kenya and Tanzania, and the expertise of your chosen kenya tanzania safari guide. Opting for package Kenya and Tanzania tours can sometimes provide better value, merging accommodation, travel, and guided explorations into one cohesive, memorable experience.

Daily Costs and Budgeting Tips

Daily Expenses: Food, Travel, and More

When exploring Kenya and Tanzania, daily expenses are more than just accommodation. Savory local dishes, intra-region travel, and unexpected souvenirs can quickly add up. Sample traditional meals like “ugali” or “nyama choma” in Kenya, and perhaps “chapati” or “ndizi kaanga” in Tanzania. Additionally, consider the costs of short flights, local taxis, or buses connecting popular safari destinations.

Making the Most of Your Budget

Maximizing your safari budget means prioritizing experiences that matter most. Perhaps splurge on a hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara but economize with budget-friendly lodges. Engage with local communities for authentic, cost-effective experiences. Remember, with careful planning and a keen eye for value, every penny can stretch further, enhancing your African adventure.

Estimating safari costs in Kenya and Tanzania goes beyond simple numbers—it’s about a rich, holistic experience. With Allied Travel , there’s no need for guesswork. We guide you every step of the way, ensuring your safari is not just an adventure, but a lifetime memory. Let’s journey together!

Tips and Tricks for an Unforgettable Kenya and Tanzania Tour

An exhilarating Kenya and Tanzania safari tour offers some of the most captivating sights in Africa. Yet, as with any journey, there are ways to elevate the experience. Dive into these insider insights for a more memorable encounter.

Maximizing Your Safari Experience

The magic of a Kenya and Tanzania safari lies beyond the well-trodden paths. Opt for dawn or dusk excursions; this is when wildlife is most active. Additionally, patience is key. Spend more time at fewer spots, allowing nature to unfold before you. Interestingly, many overlook the wonders of the smaller fauna and flora, so keep an open eye!

The Right Safari Guide and Company

Your safari guide is your gateway to the majestic landscapes of Kenya and Tanzania. Prioritize hiring experienced guides from reputable companies, such as Allied Travel , as they possess invaluable local knowledge. Did you know that the best guides have an uncanny ability to spot hidden creatures miles away, enriching your Tanzania or Kenya safari manifold?

The essence of an unforgettable Kenya and Tanzania tour is in the details. Savor each moment, trust expert guides, and let the unparalleled beauty of Kenya and Tanzania sweep you away.

Preserving the Environment: Sustainable Safari Practices

In the heart of Kenya and Tanzania, safaris allow travelers to witness the raw beauty of nature. However, it’s crucial that our passion for adventure aligns with practices that conserve these awe-inspiring habitats. Dive deep to learn how we can merge adventure with responsibility.

The Importance of Eco-friendly Travel

Safaris have become synonymous with the Kenya and Tanzania tour experience. With the surge in popularity, the commitment to eco-friendly travel is paramount. It’s less of a commonly known fact that sustainable lodges and camps in these regions use solar energy and rainwater harvesting. Opting for such accommodations can significantly reduce your carbon footprint on your next Kenya or Tanzania safari.

Leave No Trace Principles in Safaris

While the role of a safari guide is to enhance your experience, their teachings on Leave No Trace principles are golden. These guidelines, although simple—like not feeding animals or littering—ensure the pristine nature of the wild remains undisturbed for future Kenya and Tanzania tours.

When embarking on a Kenya and Tanzania safari tour, your choices matter. Through sustainable practices, every traveler can play a part in safeguarding the treasured ecosystems of Kenya and Tanzania.

Travel Considerations: Health, Safety, and Visas

Embarking on a Kenya and Tanzania safari tour is the stuff of dreams. Yet, beneath the majestic wildlife encounters, meticulous planning ensures your journey is magical and worry-free. Dive into the essentials that shape the perfect Kenyan or Tanzanian experience.

Ensuring a Smooth Trip

Navigating the diverse regions of Kenya and Tanzania may require specific permits and visas. While many are aware of tourist visas, fewer realize the special permissions some regions demand. But with Allied Travel by your side, you’re covered. We’ll undertake all the research, ensuring all necessary permits and visas are secured in advance for a seamless Kenya and Tanzania tour.

Vaccinations, Insurance, and Local Norms

Before jetting off on your Kenya and Tanzania safari, certain vaccinations, like yellow fever, are essential. A lesser-known tip: comprehensive travel insurance can cover unforeseen safari disruptions. Furthermore, respecting local customs and etiquettes not only safeguards your experience but also deepens your connection with the destination.

Thorough preparation is the cornerstone of adventure. Let Allied Travel be your compass, guiding your Kenya or Tanzania safari to be an unforgettable, hassle-free journey.

Diving Deeper: Optional Safari Add-ons and Extensions

The quintessential Kenya and Tanzania safari tour offers an unparalleled wildlife spectacle. But what if you could amplify the experience, delving beyond the traditional? Let’s journey into unique, lesser-known safari extensions that elevate your adventure.

Beyond the Traditional Safari

Your expert safari guide might let you in on a secret: there’s more to a safari than the usual game drives. Some less-traveled paths in Kenya and Tanzania offer immersive experiences, providing intimate connections with nature and local communities.

Balloon Safaris, Beach Extensions, and More

Imagine floating over the Serengeti in a balloon, witnessing the Great Migration from a bird’s eye view. Or after your Kenya safari, unwinding on the pristine beaches of Zanzibar. These extensions are not just add-ons, but curated experiences that enrich the soul.

There’s a universe beyond the classic safari. With the right choices, your Kenya and Tanzania tour can become a tapestry of unforgettable moments.

Crafting Memories in the African Plains

As we conclude this guide, we’ve delved into preparing for your safari adventure: from ensuring health and safety to embracing sustainable practices. Now, we shine a light on the transformative experiences you stand to gain and the beckoning allure of the African wilderness. Before you immerse yourself in the wonders of Kenya and Tanzania, let’s anticipate the moments that will etch themselves into your memory. Poised for the journey of a lifetime? Let’s seal our preparations.

The Ultimate Safari Reflection

With every step led by a seasoned safari guide, the landscape unveils its secrets. From the rhythmic dance of the Maasai Mara’s wildebeests to the quiet majesty of Kilimanjaro silhouetting the Amboseli, this journey is more than sightseeing – it’s soul-touching.

The Call of the Wild

In the hushed whispers of the Serengeti night or the lion’s roar echoing through the savannah, the call beckons. Not just to observe, but to connect, embrace, and remember. It’s a symphony of nature, from the cascading waterfalls of Tsavo to the vast plains of the Ngorongoro Crater, all harmonizing in perfect rhythm.

A Kenya and Tanzania tour transcends itineraries; it crafts eternal memories in the heartbeats of the wild. Ready to create your own tales? Allied Travel is your trusted partner for this journey, ensuring each moment becomes an unforgettable memory.

La mejor época para ir de safari a Kenia y Tanzania

Me lo preguntan mil veces, “Sofía, cuál es la mejor época para ir de safari a Kenia y Tanzania ”. Y yo siempre respondo lo mismo:  depende de si el safari es por Kenia o Tanzania :).

¿Por qué, me dirás? Por qué la mejor época para viajar a África y hacer un safari depende del orden de la Gran Migración .

En cualquier caso, África siempre es un lugar incomparable, lleno de color y vida que no deberías perderte por nada del mundo.

Índice

¿Qué es la Gran Migración?

Los animales del centro y sur de Tanzania se desplazan, desde el Parque Nacional de Serengueti , hasta Kenia, en busca de las verdes y húmedas praderas de Masái Mara .

En los rebaños de herbívoros podrás encontrar gacelas, cebras y ñus. También les acompañan carnívoros que, aunque no son migratorios, tienen igualmente que alimentarse.

Los animales recorrerán 2000 millas buscando la supervivencia. Y es durante este ciclo cuándo tienes que organizar tu safari a Kenia y Tanzania. 

Safari por Kenia, mejor época

En octubre , podrás contemplar la máxima concentración de herbívoros en Masái Mara. Si a eso le sumas que esta zona es famosa por su población de leones, el resultado puede ser espectacular para un safari fotográfico en Kenia . También alberga un número interesante de especies en peligro de extinción como el rinoceronte negro, el el hipopótamo y el guepardo.

He preparado un programa único para hacer un safari por Kenia durante 15 días en el que podrás contemplar África en toda su grandeza. Y por supuesto, a sus animales.

Anímate, porque es espectacular.

El Clima en Kenia

Si además de ver animales, quieres saber cuál es el clima de Kenia en esas fechas, tienes que tener en cuenta que será diferente si estamos en la costa o en las llanuras del interior, donde se hacen los safaris.

Frente a Nairobi o las playas de Chale Island o Malindi, donde las máximas están alrededor de 28º-30ºC, según la época del año y las mínimas entre 16º y 15ºC, en las llanuras de Masai Mara, al tener más altitud, las temperaturas máximas bajan a unos 23ºC de máxima y unos 10ºC de mínima en la madrugada.

Por ello, si vamos a hacer un safari fotográfico en Kenia , al ser las salidas a primera hora, se recomienda llevar siempre algo de abrigo para no pasar frío.

En cuánto a la época de lluvias, la estación húmeda en Kenia es de noviembre a mayo mientras que la estación seca va de junio a octubre.

Aun así, podemos ver que el tiempo en Kenia es agradable durante todo el año, incluso durante la estación de lluvias, por lo que es un viaje que puede hacerse en cualquier época.

Safari por Tanzania

Los animales se desplazan hasta las praderas meridionales, en busca de nuevo de la lluvia.

Si te preguntas qué hacer en Tanzania , piensa en coger la cámara y ver paisajes y animales increíbles.

Podrás encontrar a los llamados “los cinco grandes”, los cinco animales del parque de Serengueti: león , el leopardo , el elefante , el rinoceronte y el búfalo cafre .

En resumen, los meses de octubre y noviembre son la mejor época para viajar a Tanzania mientras que para ir a Kenia, de mayo a septiembre.

¿Te vas convenciendo, verdad?

Tanzania: clima para un safari

Por supuesto, también te voy a explicar cuál es el clima de Tanzania . Como en Kenia, las temperaturas en Tanzania son agradables durante todo el año. Las máximas rara vez superan los 30 grados, mientras que las mínimas se pueden llegar a alcanzar los 5ºC en las zonas más montañosas aunque normalmente no bajan de 10ºC.

En un safari en el Serengueti tendremos un tiempo bastante agradable durante todo el año, aunque a primera hora de la mañana puede refrescar.

En la isla de Zanzíbar , por su parte, el clima es ligeramente diferente con máximas que pueden llegar hasta los 34ºC y mínimas que no bajan de los 20ºC.

La época de lluvias es de noviembre a mayo, aunque en enero y febrero no suele llover apenas, mientras que la seca comprende de junio a septiembre.

Cómo prepararte para un Safari por Kenia o Tanzania

Es posible que te surjan muchas dudas a la hora de cómo prepararte para un safari . Está claro que tanto la vestimenta como todos los accesorios que lleves no son exactamente a los que estamos acostumbrados.

Además, viajar a África implica una serie de normativas y exigencias distintas a otros países.

Es por eso que voy a ayudarte con algunos consejos que debes saber antes de viajar.

Qué llevar en la maleta para un Safari

Lo primero que hay que entender antes de irse de safari es que no será un viaje para lucir modelito. Tendrás que llevarte ropa cómoda y útil si quieres disfrutar de esta aventura.

Busca prendas que no tengan colores brillantes, mas bien usar colores como marrón, verde o amarillo. Por supuesto nada de brillantes o lentejuelas principalmente para evitar llamar la atención de los animales.

Es esencial también vestirse a capas . En África, las temperaturas varían mucho a lo largo del día. A pesar de que mayoritariamente hace calor, las mañanas y noches pueden ser verdaderamente frías.

Te aconsejo que te lleves una chaqueta, gorro y guantes para las primeras horas de la mañana y que puedas guardarlo en la mochila durante las horas de más calor.

Por último, aunque parece obvio, la ropa debe ser la justa y necesaria y cómoda. Piensa que al ser un viaje por plena naturaleza, ir cómodo es esencial para andar unos cuantos kilómetros o para ir sentados durante horas en los vehículos.

Documentación para el viaje

Para un safari tanto en Kenia como en Tanzania lo primero que necesitarás es un pasaporte vigente con una validez mínima de 6 meses desde la fecha de vuestro viaje.

En segundo lugar necesitarás un visado que tendrás que entregar a la llegada a África . Seguramente durante vuestro vuelo os den directamente los formularios que tenéis que cumplimentar y entregar al pisar tierra.

Por último, podrás llevar una cartilla de vacunación que muestre las vacunas que te has puesto para viajar.

Vacunas necesarias para viajar a África

No hay vacunas obligatorias para viajar a Tanzania o Kenia , no obstante, te recomiendo que te pongas algunas para evitar males mayores y para tu tranquilidad.

Para viajar a cualquiera de estos dos destinos te aconsejo que te pongas en primer lugar la vacuna contra la fiebre tifoidea , relacionada con bajas condiciones higiénicas o ingesta de agua no embotellada.

En segundo lugar deberías ponerte la profilaxis contra la malaria o paludismo , enfermedad que se transmite por la picadura de mosquitos infectados.

Además de estas, hay otras vacunas que son recomendables no solo para viajar sino como ciudadano, que son el Tétanos , la Hepatitis A , la Hepatitis B , la Difteria y la Triple vírica .

Me apasiona África, por eso, cuando confecciono los programas de África para Los viajes de Sofía, los hago como si fuera a ir yo misma. De hecho, te aconsejo consultar mi programa Safari en Tanzania y Zanzíbar para que compruebes tu mismo lo completo y alucinante que puede ser.

Recuerda que también puedes hacer un viaje a Kenia y Tanzania de forma conjunta. ¿Para qué elegir uno si puedes ver los dos países?

Ya estás listo, préparate para un safari fotográfico en África y éstate dispuesto a vivir la aventura.

Y, cómo no, la experiencia.

Por cierto, échale un vistazo al post Consejos para hacer un safari en África , seguro que sacas más ideas.

Hola Sofía. Queremos hacer viaje en familia. Sep a diciembre. Nuestra intención es vivir el entorno en forma natural, observando la fauna del lugar y hacer un safari fotográfico.

¡Hola, Juan Carlos!

Le digo a mi compañera que te escriba para tener más información sobre lo que buscas y prepararte un presupuesto. ¡Un abrazo!

La vacuna para la fiebre amarilla es obligatoria y creo que no la nombras.

Hola! Si vas desde España no es obligatoria, solo si provienes de un destino donde sea enfermedad endémica.

Hola! perdón pero hay algo que no me queda claro 😛 Si por un lado los meses de octubre y noviembre son los mejores para safari en tanzania pero en octubre se produce la mayor concentración de herbívoros en el Maasai Mara.. ¿no se «solapan» ambas cosas en el mes de octubre? ¿Octubre es mal mes para ir de safari a Kenia? Porque lo de que sea el mes con mayor concentración por la migración, me parecía que era algo positivo…

Gracias de antemano 🙂

Hola! No, no es mal mes, especialmente a principios, aunque a final de octubre los herbívoros ya comienzan a volver a Tanzania. Eso sí, es más posible tener algún día de lluvia que en los meses anteriores.

Mi Huella x el Mundo

Safari en kenia y tanzania 14 días.

No hay nada más emocionante que hacer un safari en el continente africano y por eso nosotros nos decidimos por los que creemos son los mejores países para hacer uno, Kenia y Tanzania.

Este era nuestra primer safari y después de consultar diferentes operadores, decidimos contratar nuestro safari por Kenia y Tanzania con KANANGA, una agencia especializada en viajes por el continente africano, sobre todo viajes en grupo y en camión, aunque nosotros preferimos ir solos.

El itinerario que nosotros escogimos con ellos fue el Flying Safari por Kenia y Tanzania pero adaptamos algunas cosas, como alargar algún día más en Masai Mara y también incluir Zanzíbar al final de viaje.

Sin duda, este fue el viaje que nos hizo enamorarnos del continente africano, sobre todo de Kenia y de los safaris. Lo repetiríamos mil veces más si pudiéramos, así que no puedo hacer más que aconsejarlo.

🔖 DATOS GENERALES

Kenia, junto con  Tanzania , es el país oficial para hacer un safari. Es uno de los países con fauna y flora más diversa, abarcando lugares como el Gran Valle del Rift, el Lago Nakuru o el Masai Mara.

Tiene fronteras con Somalia, Etiopía,  Uganda , Tanzania y Sudán del Sur. Además comparte el famoso  lago Victoria  con Uganda y Tanzania.

Kenia, cuya capital es  Nairobi , debe su nombre al famoso  Monte Kenia , la segunda montaña más alta de África después del  Kilimanjaro .

💳 MONEDA Y CAMBIO DE DIVISA

La moneda de Kenia es el  Chelín Keniata (KES) y en Tanzania el Chelín Tanzano (TZS),  aunque también son ampliamente aceptados los  dólares  y los  euros . Os recomiendo que cambiéis dinero antes de ir, podéis llevar dólares directamente. No tendréis problemas en ningún lugar.

Nosotros solemos sacar dinero en el país de destino una vez llegamos a Nairobi. En el mismo aeropuerto, una vez pasada la aduana encontraréis un par de cajeros donde podréis sacar dinero. Es mejor que saquéis en el aeropuerto porque luego será difícil que encontréis cajeros y en algunos lugares puede ser peligroso.

Desde hace ya algunos viajes atrás, utilizamos las tarjeta   Revolut , que ofrece un cambio real y no cobran por pagar en la moneda local del país ni por sacar dinero en efectivo (menos de 200 Euros al mes con la cuenta gratuita).

Como teníamos un viaje organizado, prácticamente teníamos todo pagado así que solo sacamos algo de dinero para las propinas y por si acaso teníamos algún imprevisto, ya que en los campamentos y lodges podíamos también pagar con tarjeta.

Si queréis ahorraros un dinero cuando viajáis os recomiendo que os hagáis una de estas dos tarjetas porque las ventajas son muchas.

Podéis ver el tipo de cambio en el momento de viajar  AQUÍ .

En África son habitual las propinas, no están ligadas al sueldo del trabajador y se dan por el trabajo bien hecho. Puedes dar o no dar lo que te parezca, pero ellos siempre las esperan al final del itinerario.

De hecho os recomendamos tener en cuenta este apartado en el presupuesto porque creedme que se va mucho dinero en las propinas. Controladlas muy bien, y que no os sepa mal no dar porque todo el mundo pedirá y no se puede repartir billetes como si los regalaran. (O si, cada uno que haga lo que quiera…)

Llevad suficiente dinero en efectivo desde donde salgáis. Allí podéis encontrar algún cajero pero no es muy habitual tampoco y es mejor no usarlos, tener precaución y solo hacer uso si hay algún imprevisto.

🔌 TIPO DE ENCHUFE

El tipo de enchufe en Kenia y Tanzania es del tipo G , con un voltaje de 240 V. No olvidéis llevar vuestro adaptador de enchufes.

Podéis encontrar más información sobre los tipos de enchufes  AQUÍ

🗣️ IDIOMA OFICIAL

El idioma oficial en Kenia y Tanzania es el Swahili , aunque prácticamente todo el mundo habla inglés.

Aprender algunas palabras en Swahili es divertido. Y además muchos de ellos os las irán repitiendo a lo largo del viaje hasta que os serán imposible olvidarlas: HAKUNA MATATA, POLE POLE, KARIBU, ASANTE SANA…! 😊

📝 VISADO Y DOCUMENTACIÓN

Los ciudadanos españoles necesitan visado para Kenia (50 US$) se obtiene vía Internet antes de llegar al país. Kananga nos pasó por mail un archivo para que pudiéramos tramitar nosotros mismos el visado a través de la web. Después hay que llevar el papel impreso junto con tus documentos de viaje.

El visado de Tanzania (50 US$) lo obtuvimos al cruzar la frontera desde Kenia. Las personas que nos llevaban en coche nos guiaban en la frontera para saber qué era lo que teníamos que presentar y dónde teníamos que ir.

Es importante que el pasaporte tenga una validez mínima de 6 después de la fecha prevista de regreso y por lo menos 3 hojas en blanco. Recomendamos que también llevéis una fotocopia del pasaporte.

🏥 SEGURO DE VIAJE

Nunca viajamos sin seguro de viaje y menos a lugares tan remotos como en el continente africano. Nosotros confiamos en  IATI SEGUROS en cada viaje.

Si necesitáis contratar un seguro de viaje para vuestra próxima aventura aquí os dejo un descuento del 5% :

Para entrar en Kenia y Tanzania no es obligatoria ninguna vacuna  excepto la fiebre amarilla si se procede de un país endémico.

Es importante tener la Hepatitis A.

Hay que hacer el tratamiento profiláctico contra la Malaria.

Podéis consultar las vacunas recomendadas en la página   https://www.vacunas.org/

⛅️ CUÁNDO IR A KENIA Y TANZANIA: EL CLIMA

El viaje lo realizamos en julio , en la temporada seca y además, es temporada alta. El clima en ésta época es variable. Por la mañana y la noche la temperatura ronda los 12 ºC y hace frío, pero a medida que va pasando el día la temperatura sube y hace mucho calor.

Si además nos vamos a zonas como el cráter del Ngorongoro las temperaturas por la mañana y tarde bajan hasta los 8ºC. En ésta zona es aconsejable ir abrigado. Durante el resto del día hace calor.

En Zanzíbar la temperatura está sobre los 25ºC. No hay temperaturas extremas durante el día.

En realidad, cualquier época es buena y no os quedareis sin ver animales, pero el momento de la migración es espectacular y os recomiendo ir en esta época. Septiembre también es un buen mes si no queréis aglomeración de coches y además disfrutar de la gran migración y temperaturas un poco más altas.

🛫 NUESTROS VUELOS

Para este primer viaje a Kenia y Tanzania volamos con Qatar hasta Doha y después hasta Nairobi. El precio de los billetes fueron de unos 600 euros (en 2016). Actualmente con Qatar es mucho más caro viajar y muchas veces no bajas de los 800 euros. Ahora mismo hay mejores vuelos con Egypt Air, por ejemplo.

🛜 INTERNET EN KENIA Y TANZANIA CON HOLA FLY

Hay diferentes formas de tener Internet en Kenia y Tanzania (comprando una SIM en el aeropuerto o tirando de Wifi en los hoteles) pero una de las formas más cómodas de tener Internet en Kenia es contratando la tarjeta eSIM de Holafly . Una tarjeta prepago con la que puedes tener Internet desde el momento en el que llegas al país activándola solo con un código QR.

Algunas de las ventajas de la eSIM es que es totalmente digital, no recibes una tarjeta física, por lo que no tienes que quitar la tuya del móvil, la tendréis disponible en el momento en que la compréis y tampoco perderéis el número de WhatsApp al activarla. Para saber todas las ventajas de la tarjeta de Holafly podéis entrar en este post donde os explico todo lo que necesitáis saber si vais a adquirir una.

Hola Angel, pues la verdad es que lo es..Si que es verdad que es un viaje caro, pero hay muchas opciones y maneras de hacerlo, era algo que teníamos ahi asi que ahorramos y nos lanzamos…hicimos un Flying safari y nos costó unos 4k Eur por persona incluyendo Zanzíbar y vuelos. Pero Kananga que es la empresa con la que lo contratamos tienen también versiones más económicas como son los viajes en camión (que haces más días y salen unos 2000) y creo que ahora han sacado también una opción de 4X4 (Sin camión) para temporada baja que sale muchísimo mejor de precio. Nosotros quedamos encantados y de las que consultamos fue la que mejor precio nos dio y la atención es muy buena. En su página web aparecen todas las rutas incluyendo los precios: http://www.pasaporte3.com/africa/africa.php Saludos!!

Me parece un viaje de película, me gusta mucho, si no es mucha indiscreción, el tema económico para nosotros es importante, ¿Por cuanto sale este maravilloso viaje?

Gracias por tu comentario! Haré una entrada con más fotos! Puedes ver también el vídeo de youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIaPo3FcSt0&t

Yte aconsejo que lo hagas, es una experiencia para hacer una vez en la vida al menos. Si necesitas consejos para el viaje ya sabes 🙂 Saludos

¡Pon más fotos! Me gusta pero me quedo con ganas de más! Es el viaje que pensábamos hacer este año, pero un pequeño problema de salud me ha hecho cambiar el destino, aunque espero hacerlo en un futuro próximo!
