East Africa Safari & Coast

East Africa is a bucket-list trip and did not disappoint. We saw the big 5 and so much more. Our guide, Zach, our chef and driver were professionals and dealt with any and all issues without having them affect the trip.

Masai & Tanzania Camping Safari

Upgraded tour. Simply, perfect. For me, this was all about animals and I was overwhelmed with the opportunities that the guides and drivers provided us while respecting the awesome individuals that oversee these beasts - the national park rangers who provide services in Kenya and Tanzania. Blessed with the time we spent with Masai; would love to come back for the opportunity to spend more time with people; I'm a loner, so animals came first, but loved the people I had the opportunity to meet.Saw the big 5 within the first 3 days we were there; experienced a small window into the precarious lives African animals live daily - just, simply, overwhelming. FYI, African elephants own my heart.

Kenya & Tanzania Camping Safari

We did the Kenya Tanzania safari in June with G adventures.Amazing is all we can say.Our drivers inKenya wereJoe and Morris and in Tanzania wereFilbert and Norbert,They were the best.We will never forget our amazing experience.I recommend safaris with G adventures and I hope you get the guides we had.

11 DAY COMBINED KENYA & TANZANIA WILDLIFE SAFARI

It was a great and unforgettable stay. Very well organised

15 DAYS ESSENTIAL KENYA & TANZANIA EXPEDITION

Great experiences in the National Park We had a super great, well organized two weeks in the Serengeti National Park, as well as in the Ngorogoro Crater. We were picked up on time at the airport in Arusha at the very beginning and had perfect service from then on. We were together with Jerome D. Swai and the driver Cypiars which both can only be recommended. Jerome cooks wonderful food!!! We did a trip in tents, was just great the feeling to be so close to the wild nature. Can only say: Top people, top quality, top food and super much seen. It was just great, thank you again to meet you. Greetings from Switzerland P.S: Since spontaneously write here, only photos of photos from our safari photo book :-), hope that still gives an approximate impression of the experienced.

16 Days Best Of Kenya & Tanzania Luxury Safari

Our 14-day Kenya and Tanzania Migration Lodge Safari was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived in Nairobi to the final farewell, every day was filled with awe-inspiring moments and unforgettable experiences. Our adventure began with a warm welcome in Nairobi,Transfer to hotel Ole Sereni where our knowledgeable guide briefed us on the journey ahead. The luxurious accommodations provided a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the African wilderness.African Brekafast was great!!! Amboseli National Park in Kenya was our first stop, and the sight of majestic elephants roaming against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro took our breath away. We witnessed thrilling wildlife encounters during our game drives, including close encounters with lions and cheetahs.Sopa lodges so magnificient. Crossing into Tanzania,border abit slow but was well organized with changing guides from Zack the genius to John M. Lake Manyara National Park enchanted us with its diverse landscapes and abundant birdlife. Spotting tree-climbing lions was a highlight, and the boat safari on Lake Manyara offered a serene perspective of the park's beauty. The Serengeti National Park was the epitome of safari magic. Witnessing the Great Migration firsthand was a dream come true as we watched thousands of wildebeests and zebras thunder across the plains. Our lodge perched on the edge of the Serengeti provided uninterrupted views of the vast savannah and unforgettable sunsets.Serena lodges are super ! Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater felt like entering a lost world teeming with wildlife. We marveled at the sheer abundance of animals in this natural amphitheater, from graceful gazelles to mighty rhinos. The grand finale awaited us in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The Mara River crossings were the highlight of our safari, as we held our breath watching the dramatic spectacle unfold before our eyes. Our expert guide John , ensured we had front-row seats to nature's greatest show. Each evening, we gathered around the campfire under the starlit sky, sharing stories of the day's adventures and listening to the sounds of the African night. The hospitality of the lodge staff made us feel like family, and the delicious cuisine was a delightful surprise. As we bid farewell to Kenya and Tanzania, we carried with us memories that will last a lifetime. This safari exceeded all expectations, thanks to the impeccable planning and personalized service. It truly was the journey of a lifetime, and I cannot wait to return to Africa's wild embrace.Masai Mara crowned all the taste of an Africa Photo Safari - Sopa Lodges tastifully located at great views of sunset thank you Zack again for picking us from the other border point for this gtreat encounter with wildlife . I would recommend thsi tour to many who really want to see the great diverse landscape and lakes plus plains in Africa - Serenegeti and Mara plains.

Premium Kenya & Tanzania (11 destinations)

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 Kenya Tanzania Mid Range Safari & Zanzibar Beach holiday

We booked a Deluxe Flying Safari with CKC Tours and Travel and it was the perfect vacation. I corresponded with John over email and he answered many questions before working out the perfect tour for us. We wanted a private luxurious safari and he planned it for us. John was amazing. John came to the airport on the day we flew for our safari to Amboseli National Park and Masai Mara. All the places we stayed in these places were first class, and the guides were amazing. The food, drinks and service was top class. I would recommend John ad his team without any hesitation. He is very trustworthy and everything was exactly as he described for us. Thank you, John.

• Great Migration

12 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania

It was a good choice, we had a wonderful time in Kenya and Tanzania.

12 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Luxury Lodge Safari

Pros: The overall tour was very good. Most of the lodging was great. One night that was upgraded in Tanzania at a coffee plantation was fabulous! The tour company staff members were very responsive. We saw the big five and a number of other animals, so needless to say, the guides were pretty great as well. The optional Masai experience was amazing. Cons: the transportation was way below luxury. The first safari vehicle was awful! Small tires; it was more like a jitney type bus. On the rough roads, it was miserable. Tent camp was not for me. Private Transportation at borders should be included in tour package. Overall very good experience!

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.

READY TO BOOK THE PERFECT TRIP?

We never charge you a fee just to meet with us!

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.

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.

Breakfast is often a picnic to maximise your explorations, and you will return to camp for lunch and a siesta.

Kenya and Tanzania Safari Tours… SEE MORE. DO MORE.

Our regional kenya and tanzania safaris are the ultimate african journeys, these 7 – 10 day excursions bring you the best of each country’s national parks.

Kenya or Tanzania ? Which country has the best national parks and the most exciting wildlife?

We think they both do – that’s why we created these immersive Kenya and Tanzania safari tours exploring the two greatest wildlife environments in Africa.

What are the two most famous wildlife parks in the world? The Masai Mara and the Serengeti . Facing each other across their international border, you can witness the millions of wildebeests of the Great Migration herding from the vast plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania over to the green rolling hills of Kenya’s Masai Mara.

You can also visit the great snow-capped form of Mt Kilimanjaro just beyond the Tanzania border framing large families of elephants in Kenya, at Amboseli National Park .

And nothing compares with the numbers of big cats in the Masai Mara except perhaps the incredible density of lions you’ll find descending into Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater .

Your East Africa Holiday

No matter what you imagine the world of safari to be: racing through the savannah, exploring the mysteries of the forest and bush, gliding over Africa’s high-altitude lakes, or something yet undiscovered, the parks, wildlife, and people of Kenya and Tanzania will bring you more life, color and experiences than you ever pictured.

Discover another world on our Kenya and Tanzania Safari Holidays, with awesome Wildlife Parks, Reserves, and Conservancies.

Or perhaps we should say  worlds . Because Kenya’s parks cover every sort of landscape – from the red dust plains of  Tsavo  to the rolling savannahs of the golden  Masai Mara Reserve .  And there’s also  Rift Valley  lakes, alpine rainforests, and tropical jungle waiting for your first steps of exploration.

But not all safaris are on dry land. You can even swim, snorkel, and dive amongst dolphins in the brilliant lagoons and corral gardens of our  Marine National Parks.

From the Big Cats to Chimpanzees, t hese amazing parks will bring you up close to brilliant worlds of wildlife –thousands of wildebeests rumbling forward in the Great Migration and prides of lions stalking their flow.

Tanzania - Limitless Africa!

Its wildlife is unsurpassed. Its beaches are the envy of the world. And its people, the warmest you’ll meet. If you’re looking for a spectacular safari adventure, natural beauty, and a deep connection to the land… then Tanzania will feel like home.

Imagine climbing the world’s highest free-standing mountain, descending the world’s largest volcanic crater, or tracking the world’s largest population of lions. All are possible here in this epic land of sprawling savannahs, luminescent beaches, and mountains rising through the clouds.

No doubt you’ve heard the names Serengeti , Kilimanjaro , and Zanzibar . They ring with the promise of exotic adventures.

What is the best time of year to take a combined Kenya and Tanzania safari?

The best time to take a combined Kenya and Tanzania safari depends on what you would like to see and experience.

Low Season Safaris Can be Amazing Too!

To truly capture the wonder of the Wildebeest migration, We will facilitate you to witness and follow the Migration as they migrate between the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya.

The Wildebeest Migrate every year between  Serengeti in Tanzania  and  Masai Mara in Kenya . For most of the year, they graze in the southern-eastern part of the ecosystem. That coincides with the calving migration season. The wildebeest colonizes the southern Serengeti from November to May. Once depleted of the pastures, they trek northern towards the Northern Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya. Join us on a Wildebeest Migration safari as we follow the herds.

Kenya or Tanzania – Where Should You Go on Safari

Kenya or Tanzania. Like choosing between mountains and the beach, sunrise and sunset, ice cream and cake. Not easy. The good news then? Both are winners! 

Stunning scenery, breathtaking wildlife and life-long memories await in whichever you choose. But taking the plunge is a whole new step, so we’ve put a few details together to make that decision quite a bit simpler. 

With reputations to uphold as two of the most famous destinations for safaris in the world, both Kenya and Tanzania guarantee to surpass all your expectations and leave you with unrivalled memories for life.

Kenya and Tanzania are both East African countries with a coastline on the Indian Ocean. With Kenya sitting to the north of Tanzania, the countries share a border and share a special connection as the setting of the world’s largest wildlife migration (more on that later!).

The Masai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti in Tanzania play a pivotal role in the survival of Africa’s ecosystem during different dry seasons. 

Kenya experiences its main wet season from April through to June, while Tanzania’s rainy season runs from early March to late May, with a second, shorter season in November and December. 

Temperatures that you can expect in Kenya can vary significantly depending on where you are and the altitude, so you should be prepared for cooler temperatures as well as the high, with the heat peaking from December through to March. 

Tanzania’s temperatures reach their maximum during the short rainy season starting in November through to February, with highs of up to 40 degrees celsius.

When to Visit

If Kenya is taking your fancy, the dry season of July to October is most popular. Although crowds can be expected during these peak times, the weather is hot and dry and the opportunities for game viewing are plentiful. It is also the time to see the herds of Wildebeest on their migration. 

Should you wish for a quieter experience, it is best to avoid these months, although April and May should probably be avoided too as these are the months of heaviest rainfall when roads and airstrips can become unusable and parks may close for restorative works. 

As well as the best-known game reserve the Masai Mara, Samburu National Reserve is well worth a visit for its mixed terrain and rich wildlife.

Conversely, if Tanzania is now leading the way for you, June to October is prime game viewing season and you will also catch the wildebeest in the beginnings of their migration. 

If seeing predators in action ignites your curiosity, then January and February, calving time, is perfect for your visit. While the Serengeti can be a busy and popular place during June and July, Tanzania will mostly offer a quieter experience in terms of crowds than Kenya for those who seek a more peaceful experience.

Where to Go

Countless astounding sights and sounds make these countries what they are, and you could be forgiven for not knowing where to start.

  Kenya’s world-renowned Masai Mara is a must with a reputation for excellent predator sightings and varied wildlife, while the Amboseli National Reserve and Tsavo National Park both offer incredible opportunities to view large herds of elephants.

  Further north in the more remote parts of the country, you can find Samburu National Reserve where you will find the Sarara Singing Wells and can catch Samburu warriors singing traditional songs while they go about their daily jobs. 

  Lake Nakuru National Park is famous for having great numbers of pink flamingos while offering the potential for a sighting of a white rhino.

  Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania needs little introduction. A dormant volcano, it is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest single free-standing volcano in the world.

  The Serengeti, too, fights its own corner with its staggering beauty and vast open lands making it perfect for wildlife sightings. 

  The Ngorongoro Crater, with its own permanent supply of water, is the spot to find animals with no need to migrate as thousands can be seen. It is also the location of the Olduvai Gorge, where it is thought some of the oldest human remains in the world have been found.

  Lake Manyara features the largest concentration of baboons in the world while having large populations of elephants, hippos and tree-climbing lions too.

There is little to separate the price of flights to Kenya and Tanzania from London. The cost of living in Kenya is around 40% cheaper than the UK, while Tanzania is even lower at around 45% cheaper. 

A typical mid-range,  three-course meal in Tanzania is significantly cheaper than a Kenyan equivalent, while a basic lunch with a drink would also cost you around half that of its Kenyan counterpart. 

Pound Sterling, US Dollars and Euros are widely accepted and can be changed at local banks in both countries, although it is certainly worth taking some Kenyan Shillings or Tanzanian Shillings for your visit.

Accommodation

Whether world-class luxury makes you feel at home, or you’re a thrill-seeker chasing the total African experience, Kenya treats you well. 

If you’re looking for a luxury accommodation experience in one of the country’s best national parks, the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club in Nanyuki is a hotel with plenty of luxurious amenities for guests. A great high-end option in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve is the Sarova Mara Game Camp , which boasts comfortable tents and a large outdoor pool.

A more budget-friendly option near Nairobi is Maison Mitwaba, which is a small B&B on the edge of the city. If you’d rather stay close to Lake Naivasha and the Kingono Game Ranch, Merinja Guest House is a simple but comfortable guest house.

K enya’s large size and popularity as a travel destination means that there is a wide range of accommodation options to choose from for all budgets. Whether you’re seeking the luxury safari camp experience or just looking for somewhere cheap to stay to explore the country, you’ll find something to suit your preferences.

Camps, cottages, lodges, budget and five-star spa hotels are all possibilities in Tanzania. For a truly unforgettable experience in the Serengeti, the Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti is a luxury lodge with incredible views of the famous national park.

If you’re looking for something more mid-range, and would also like to be close to Mount Kilimanjaro, the Shimbwe Meadows Guest House is a lovely holiday property that is great for families and has impressive views of the mountain.

A classic Tanzania holiday destination is Zanzibar, which is one of the best places in Africa for a beach holiday. If you’d like to stay right on the coast, the Zanzibar Sunrise offers beachfront bungalows for guests. Mama Root is a more budget-friendly option, but the guest house still has a private beach and breakfast included in each room.

Similar to Kenya, there’s a lot to choose from when it comes to deciding where to stay here. Whatever your taste, Tanzania’s got it covered!

Ugali is a staple part of the diet in both Kenya and Tanzania, meaning you can experience a small taste of a local’s life in either destination. A type of maize flour porridge, it is often served alongside meat and vegetable stews.  Grilled meats are also common, as is fish close to the coast. 

In Kenya, beef and goat meat are most common, while sweet potatoes are regularly used.

On the whole, Tanzania has a similar diet, though you can also find banana stews and the food tends to incorporate more spices than may commonly be found in Kenya.

Kenya is a country of diverse cultures and trends with no single prominent culture. This means your visit can be quite unique, and you are guaranteed to meet Kenyans who each have their own story and way of life to teach you something new.

In Tanzania, over 130 languages are spoken with Swahili and English as the prominent two. Through the second half of the 20th Century, President Julius Nyerere worked tirelessly to create a national identity for the people of Tanzania, meaning that today, ethnic divisions are rare in the country despite it being one of the most diverse African countries.

It is vital to be vigilant in either destination. 

Muggings and bag snatchings have occurred in both countries, and advice suggests holding bags loosely or over one shoulder rather than across your chest. This is to prioritise your safety over possessions.

Around 190,000 UK residents travel to Kenya each year with most trips being trouble-free. Roughly 75,000 people travel to Tanzania and also encounter few problems.

Using reputable campsites and companies for your safari is a good way of reducing any risk even further.

It’s always best to seek the most recent travel advice from the government, but travel within 60km of the Somalian border is advised against.

Kenya is busiest in and around its dry season between July and October. The latter half of August on, in particular, is the most popular time for people to travel as they try and catch a glimpse of the Great Migration. Safaris at this time will be at their most expensive.

Tanzania, alternatively, is rarely crowded, except for the Serengeti in June and July. Again, this is as people flock to see the wildebeest herds.

Travel and Infrastructure

Once you’ve arrived in either country, public transport is a very affordable method of getting around. Taxis, too, can be inexpensive and in Kenya, it is possible to hire a car with a driver. 

Kenya’s safari industry is supported by its infrastructure, and therefore will be a more pleasant experience travelling around than Tanzania at this time. 

Tanzania is, however, in the process of improving this with promises to develop its railways to support industry in the country. 

In either place, delays may be expected and public transport travel can be slow. What a great invitation to settle in, absorb the culture and experience while marvelling at the sublime scenery!

Exclusivity

After the total African experience without the crowds, hassle and distractions? No problem! Bespoke, exclusive safari packages and meticulously planned trips are available. Be as involved in the design of your dream safari as you wish with the assistance and reliability of an expert to take care of all the necessary details. In terms of Kenya or Tanzania? There is little to separate the two here, with both countries widely represented for exclusive travel and safaris. Some companies also offer extensions to your visit, such as the Kenyan coast, or beach accommodation in Zanzibar. 

Mountains? Coastline? Valleys? Forests? National Parks? Check, check, check, check and check!

Vast, expansive lands filled with wildlife are only the beginnings of Kenya’s greatness. Mount Kenya and the Rift Valley not only give you a different perspective on the breathtaking wildlife, but panoramic views of some of the most beautiful locations on earth. 

On top of this, Kenya is the host of white sandy beaches along its coast, Hell’s Gate National Park and Lamu, a car-free coastal town.

Tanzania fights back with the Serengeti (which means ‘endless plains’ in the local language), Mount Kilimanjaro and the stunning settings of Lake Manyara and Lake Victoria, the idyllic bird-spotting locations.

Both Kenya and Tanzania are brimming with natural and man-made landmarks to amaze. 

Kenya’s Masai Mara and Mount Kenya are among its natural highlights, as are the Mau-Mau caves, Lake Victoria and the Menengai Crater, the site of a 19th Century battle. 

Man-made creations are plentiful. The 16th century Fort Jesus was built by the Portuguese overlooking the Old Port at Mombasa as a point to trade from and in response to Turkish raids. The State House, built in the early 20th Century, serves as the official residence of the President of Kenya and the Jomo Kenyatta Mausoleum, the resting place of the Republic of Kenya’s first President, are worth visiting for anyone interested in the country’s political background.

Tanzania is home to many of Africa’s most famous sights in Mount Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti, but don’t miss out on many other stunning locations.

The Ngorongoro Crater is part of a conservation area and has a fascinating mix of wildlife. Kalambo Falls on the border with Zambia are worth a visit, and for those wanting mountains without the crowds that come with Kilimanjaro, there is Mount Meru, or Ol Doinyo Lengai, which has the added boast of an active volcano.

Equally as impressive are Tanzania’s man-made landmarks. Take a moment to reflect at the Askari monument, a bronze World War 1 soldier erected in 1927 commemorating the role played by African troops. Alternatively, take a visit to the Old State House, which also holds links to the First World War in which it suffered considerable damage. Restored soon after, it is now the home of the President of Tanzania. For something totally different, there are the Kondoa Irangi Rock Paintings depicting human figures, animals and rivers. It is thought that they are thousands of years old.  

Things to Do in Kenya

With so much to do, picking out your favourites will be a real challenge of a visit to Kenya or Tanzania.

If Kenya is your choice, visit Lamu , a UNESCO World Heritage site that combines architecture with influences from around the world, while donkeys are still the main mode of transport. Delve deeper into the culture and history with a visit to the Lamu Museum, or relax on white-sand beaches and take in the local experience at a caf é .

If history takes your fancy, visit Nairobi, the capital of Kenya and former capital of British East Africa. The Nairobi National Museum will give an insight into all aspects of Kenya’s life and history, whilst a Historical and Cultural Day Tour is a great way to see all of the city with the help of an experienced guide.

If not Nairobi, Mombasa is the second-largest city and Kenya’s biggest port, where worldly influences are clear in the architecture. The history lover can take in Fort Jesus and the Old Town on a walking tour , while the more sporty among you can take advantage of snorkelling and diving opportunities. Then, find some middle ground and come back together for a dolphin-watching trip.

Mount Kenya, also a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a unique chance to see snow ever so close to the equator. Not many people can brag about that! The country’s highest mountain also offers unique safari opportunities.

Popular with climbers and hikers, accessible on foot or bike, is Hell’s Gate. A protector of a wide variety of wildlife, this is one of only a few Kenyan parks to allow camping and features geothermal hot springs. A guided day trip here is a great way to explore.

For that close-up wildlife encounter, look no further than Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where you can combine your visit with overnight accommodation and choose between self-drive or guided tours . The Big Five, as well as the white and the black rhino, are all here, meaning you can capture that photo of all your favourites in one place.

Things to Do in Tanzania

For that once-in-a-lifetime visit, Tanzania is a great choice with exceptional, dream-worthy opportunities.

For the active visitor, Mount Kilimanjaro is a project well worth training for. If that’s not you, the splendour of Africa’s tallest mountain and its snow-capped peaks still make it unmissable. If you can’t face climbing the whole route, guided day treks are available to take you some of the way up the mountain without committing to a week-long hike.

For any snorkelling, diving, or general ocean wildlife enthusiast, Mafia Island Marine Park and its protected undersea world is the place to head. 

Alternatively, soft, white-sand beaches and stunningly clear water are guaranteed on the island of Zanzibar if you’re looking for a change of scenery. Surfing can also be an option here. 

Stone Town in Zanzibar, with few changes in the past 200 hundred years, provides a stunning cultural experience. With museums and many tourist attractions being created, this Swahili city is well worth visiting, especially as part of a guided walking tour that will teach you all about the history of the area.

Boat trips, hiking excursions, fishing trips and bird watching are all very good reasons to visit Lake Victoria. The largest freshwater lake in Africa, the Tanzanian areas are largely untapped by tourists, giving you a great chance of an authentic experience visiting a life source of wildlife and human income.

Here we are – what you’ve been waiting for! Both countries lie in a part of the world that is rich and abundant in wildlife and some of the world’s most sought after creatures. Combine that with picturesque, 360-degree views and you have destinations featuring near the top of most people’s bucket lists. 

Kenya has built a well-deserved reputation as one of the world’s most recognised safari destinations. It is home to the Masai Mara, as well as the Amboseli, famed for its majestic elephant populations and being overlooked by the imposing Mount Kilimanjaro in neighbouring Tanzania. 

As well as Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania can boast of the Serengeti and the unmissable Ngorongoro Crater , which is home to some 20,000 mammals and features some of the best landscapes Africa has to offer.

Many similarities between the two make the choice a tough, but good dilemma to have: in both countries, you are able to see the Big Five, world-renowned diversity and birdlife that is both varied (over 1,000 species of bird are known to live in each country) and featuring endemic and unique birds to that country. 

If you’re looking for something more specific, such as rhinos, both the Black and the White Rhino can be seen in Kenya, while only the Black Rhino will be seen in Tanzania. On the other hand, if you’re seeking perfect game viewing conditions, Tanzania during the dry season is the place to be. In fact, Tanzania is home to around 20% of Africa’s large mammal population and has over 4 million wild animals including around 430 species and subspecies.

The Great Migration

If the Great Migration, or Wildebeest Migration, the world’s greatest wildlife migration , is what you are longing for, then carefully consider the time of year you travel. Each year, 1.5 million wildebeest make the migration accompanied by hundreds of thousands of other creatures including zebra and gazelle in search of fresh, lush grass and water. 

From December to April, the place to see the wildebeest is the southern Serengeti. During this time, they aren’t migrating, and mothers will give birth to their young. 

As May and June come around, the need for water and the drying Serengeti lead the wildebeest to begin their journey north. If it is your desire is to see the Migration in full flow, June to November is your best bet of catching a herd on their journey. 

July and August will see the majority of the river crossings at the Mara River as the creatures head for the Masai Mara, before returning south to Tanzania and the Serengeti any time from around October.

Kenya or Tanzania

Your final decision may rest on a single deciding factor or may come down to a gut feeling.

If you are looking for a quieter experience, a luxury Tanzania wildlife holiday is probably the direction to head (although carefully consider the cost of accommodation into any budget planning). 

However, if you are seeking somewhere with infrastructure that is better developed and ready to deal more comprehensively with tourists, Kenya has the edge on its neighbour.

Perhaps you are considering the likelihood of seeing the wildlife you are desperate to lay your eyes on. Both have a high chance for you to experience the Big Five, with the added bonus of the White Rhino in Kenya, though for sheer volume, Tanzania takes the lead. 

If the time of year is to lead your thinking, peak time for both destinations is around June to October, though for the visitor wanting that quieter experience these are the times to avoid.

January and February are also good months to visit both countries, with calving in Tanzania and Kenya experiencing a dry season at this time as well as July to October.

Rest assured in whichever direction you go here; Kenya and Tanzania have world-renowned wildlife, scenery and experiences waiting at your fingertips. Lands overflowing in safaris and national parks to meet any dream and leave each visitor with a unique experience to treasure for life are calling!

Can I Visit Kenya and Tanzania in one trip?

You can visit both in one trip and though it will be expensive, it will be an incredible experience. The best place to cross the border is the town of Namanga. It can be a busy crossing with both locals and tourists using it, but it generally flows smoothly. You need a separate visa for Kenya and Tanzania.

Which is better?

This really does depend on you and your preferences. Both have a similar peak season when crowds will be at their highest, and both have fascinating creatures endemic to that country. It really comes down to what specifically you are looking for.

Is it safe?

It is always really important for tourists to be vigilant wherever they are in the world. This is certainly true for Kenya and Tanzania, but if you take sensible precautions you should have a trouble-free visit. Follow the most up-to-date security advice at all times. Research and only use reputable safari companies.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

When To Go On Safari …

• January to February: Summer – dry and warm; cooler at Ngorongoro because of elevation. Migration picks up, with plenty of game throughout central/southern Serengeti.

• March: Rains become possible, bringing plains animals in search of fresh grass and food. Significant movement of antelope and other game to the plains for calving season; predators follow.
