Your East Africa Journey

From Kenya's Savannahs to Tanzania's Northern Circuit

Kenya–Tanzania safaris can be built in several ways depending on your arrival point, available days, preferred parks and whether you want to travel primarily by road, include regional flights or combine both.

Kenya Nairobi

A natural starting point for many cross-border safari itineraries.

Kenya Masai Mara

Predator-rich plains and classic East African safari landscapes.

Tanzania Serengeti

Continue into Tanzania's vast and celebrated wildlife country.

Travel Privately

A Safari Designed Around You

A Kenya–Tanzania journey deserves more than a rigid one-size-fits-all itinerary. We build the safari around your travel dates, number of guests, preferred accommodation and the wildlife experiences you want to prioritise.

The result is a more personal journey through East Africa, with the route and pace carefully considered from the beginning rather than simply fitting you into a fixed programme.

When weather conditions are favourable, Mount Kilimanjaro provides a magnificent backdrop to the wildlife below and creates some of East Africa's most recognisable safari scenes.

The Serengeti is renowned for its predator populations, particularly lions, cheetahs and leopards, together with elephants, buffalo, giraffes, hyenas and vast numbers of herbivores.

The applicable immigration formalities are completed at the designated border crossing. Depending on operating arrangements, there may be a change of vehicle and driver-guide around the border. The exact arrangements are confirmed before travel.

How many nights are spent in Serengeti?

Two nights are spent in Serengeti, providing a complete day of game viewing plus wildlife viewing on the arrival and departure days.
