Experience the adventure your way

We offer two different ways to experience this unforgettable journey, with the first option focusing more on a deep dive into wildlife and nature, with extended stays in several national parks that gives you more time for game drives and a greater chance to witness the Great Migration.
The second option provides a cultural tour in Nairobi, and includes visits to the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Centre, and a beads factory, ending with the classic safari experience – offering a slightly more concentrated trip that still covers visits to the majestic natural parks.

 

Discover Kenya’s Incredible Wildlife and Landscapes

This safari adventure starts in Nairobi with the first day spent soaking in all of the beautiful surroundings. Depending of which travel plan you chose, you might spend an additional day in Nairobi, visiting the elephant orphanage, giraffe center and the beads factory. Regardless of which option, your journey truly begins when heading towards Lake Naivasha for a magical boat ride, a perfect opportunity to spot birds and hippos in the wild. Next stop is Lake Nakuru, a host to a rich variety of wildlife including lions, leopards, and rhinos. The adventure then continues to Maasai Mara National Reserve where you, depending on the season, might witness the spectacular wildebeest migration. The drive itself unveils the enchanting beauty of Kenya and offers a chance to spot the Big Five in their natural habitat.

 

Continue your Adventure to the Natural Wonders of Tanzania

It’s time for the journey to take you on to Tanzania and yet another set of wildlife marvels. After the necessary formalities, you’ll be welcomed by a Tanzanian guide who will lead you to your first Tanzanian wild camp where you are offered to take part of a unique optional night game drive (kindly note that this activity is at an extra cost). Your day to come will be filled with extensive wildlife exploration in the heart of the Serengeti National Park, and the journey peaks at the Ngorongoro Crater – the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and home to a great deal of wildlife as well as the Lake Magadi. Your grand finale will take place at Lake Manyara National Park, a haven for buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, and the famous unique tree-climbing lions.

Do we need visas for both Tanzania and Kenya?

Yes, visas are required for each country, depending on your country of origin.

What safari vehicles are used during the safari in Kenya & Tanzania?

We use a custom-built 4WD Toyota Land Cruiser for our safaris. The vehicles take up to 6 clients in 3 rows of seating (guaranteed window seat for all) with a pop-up roof, which can be raised for excellent wildlife viewing. The pop-up roof offer excellent photography opportunities and also provides shade while enjoying your safari. Our vehicles are serviced and maintained to a very high standard before and after every safari to ensure optimal comfort during your journey.

Do I use the same safari guide in Kenya and Tanzania?

No, we get you the best guides for each country. You will change vehicles and guides at the borders, either the Isebania border from Masai Mara or the Namanga border from Amboseli National Park. The driver change will occur after the immigration process.

What currency can I use for both countries?

Tanzania and Kenya each have their local currencies, Tanzanian and Kenyan shillings. You can use USD dollars which is acceptable in both countries too.

When is the best time to do a safari in both Tanzania and Kenya?

The best time to go on safari in Kenya and Tanzania is during the dry season, typically from June to October. This is the peak season for safari tourism as the weather is mild, the vegetation is less dense, and wildlife is more easily spotted around the water sources. The months of July to September are particularly popular as the wildebeest migration occurs in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. However, the dry season is also the busiest time of year, and prices for accommodation and tours tend to be higher. Suppose you’re looking for a quieter and more affordable safari experience. In that case, you may want to consider visiting during the shoulder season, which runs from January to March or November to early December. During these months, the weather is still relatively dry, and there are fewer tourists. The rainy season, which typically runs from April to May and November to December, can be challenging for safari. The roads can become impassable, and the vegetation is denser, making wildlife harder to spot. However, some lodges and parks offer discounted rates during this time, and the landscape can be lush and beautiful.

Does the wildebeest migration take place at the same time in both countries? And what is the best time to witness it?

Yes, the wildebeest migration takes place in both Kenya and Tanzania, as the herds move between the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The timing of the migration can vary slightly depending on weather patterns and other factors, but generally, it follows a similar pattern in both countries. The best time to witness the wildebeest migration is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. During this time, the herds congregate around the Mara River, which forms a natural boundary between Tanzania and Kenya. The crossing of the Mara River is one of the most spectacular and dramatic events of the migration, as the wildebeest face off against crocodiles and other predators in their quest for greener pastures. However, the exact timing of the migration can be unpredictable, and it’s worth noting that the herds can arrive earlier or later than expected. It’s also worth keeping in mind that the peak season for safari tourism is during the migration, and popular viewing spots can become crowded.

Is it safe for me to take my children with me on Safari?

Yes, traveling to Kenya & Tanzania can be a wonderful experience for families with children. We provide excellent child-friendly guides and try to limit the amount of time spent in a vehicle. We also offer regular stops along the way when doing a family safari. Please get in touch with us at sales@worldadventuretours.com for more information. You should also ensure that your children understand the importance of respecting the wildlife and following safety guidelines, such as staying inside the vehicle during game drives and listening to your guide’s instructions. It’s also important to take precautions to prevent illnesses such as malaria, which is prevalent in many safari destinations in Africa. Ensure your children are up-to-date on their vaccinations, and bring appropriate insect repellent and clothing to protect against mosquito bites.

What is the tipping etiquette for safari guides and mountain crews on trips like this?

Tipping is highly appreciated at the end of safari/mountain climb. The size of tips will vary depending on the length and complexity of the trip, the number of staff on the trip and the number of clients on the trip. Generally, groups like to meet together before the end of the trek to discuss how much they would like to tip each staff member based on their individual trek experience. You should prepare an envelope after your trek for your tip money at the Hotel. You can use US dollars, Euros, TZ Shillings or a combination of these. Please ask the Safari/Climbing coordinator at the Hotel for advice.

RECOMMENDED TIP:

Mountain Climbs: $25-50 USD per Day per Climber to be shared between guides, chefs and porters.

Safaris: Driver/Guide: $35-50 USD per Day per Car. If it is a camping safari there will be a tip for the cook $10 USD per Day.

THESE ARE JUST GUIDELINES AND TIPS CAN BE GIVEN TO SAFARI STAFF/MOUNTAIN CREW ACCORDING TO SERVICES PROVIDED.
