Frequently Asked Questions
Both parks offer excellent game viewing all year. The Great Migration is usually in the Masai Mara and northern Serengeti from about July to October, and in the southern Serengeti for the calving season from about January to March. We match the route and camps to your travel dates.
Your Kenyan guide drives you to the border and helps with the Kenyan exit and Tanzanian entry formalities. On the Tanzanian side you usually change to a Tanzanian-registered vehicle and guide. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months with blank pages, and carry your visa approvals and insurance documents printed or on your phone.
Kenya requires an approved eTA before travel. Kenya’s mandatory visitor travel insurance is in force: every traveller must buy the Kenyan policy at USD 44 per traveller, and a home or foreign policy cannot be uploaded or substituted. Tanzania requires a visa (USD 100 for US citizens) and mandatory Tanzanian travel insurance at USD 44 per adult. We guide you through each step when you book.
You travel in a private 4×4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof for game viewing and photography, reclining seats and charging ports, driven by a professional safari guide, with a change of vehicle and guide at the Kenya and Tanzania border.
Park entrance fees are included. Kenya and Tanzania set park and conservation fees per person, per day, and these can change, so the exact amounts are confirmed in your written quote at booking.
This is a private safari for your own group, and lodges and dates can be tailored. Single supplements depend on the lodges and season you choose and are available on request.
