Crossing to Kenya

East Africa Safari FAQ

Popular Safari Questions

Do you only arrange safaris in Tanzania, or across East Africa?

Our core, locally-guided departures are in Tanzania β€” Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. We also arrange cross-border extensions into Kenya's Maasai Mara and gorilla trekking in Uganda for travelers who want to combine multiple East African countries in one trip.

What is the best time to visit for the Great Migration?

The migration is a year-round event that moves through Tanzania and Kenya. June to October is prime for dry-season river crossings, including the famous Mara River crossings that cross into Kenya's Maasai Mara. December to March is best for the southern Serengeti calving season in Tanzania.

How many days do I need for an East Africa safari?

Most travelers choose 5 to 8 days for a northern Tanzania circuit covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. Adding Kenya's Maasai Mara, Kilimanjaro trekking, gorilla trekking, or a Zanzibar beach extension typically adds 3 to 7 more days.

Can I combine Tanzania with Kenya or Uganda in one trip?

Yes. This is one of our most requested combinations β€” a Tanzania safari paired with Kenya's Maasai Mara, or gorilla trekking in Uganda, arranged as a single connected itinerary.

Do you arrange private safari vehicles and guides?

Yes. Every itinerary is built around a private 4x4 safari vehicle with a dedicated driver-guide, not a shared group vehicle.

Is Tanzania good for a first-time East Africa safari?

Yes β€” Tanzania alone covers the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and the Great Migration, making it a complete safari experience even without crossing into neighboring countries.

Ready to Plan Your East Africa Safari?

Tell us your travel dates, number of travelers and dream destinations β€” Tanzania alone, or combined with Kenya's Maasai Mara or Uganda's gorilla trekking. We'll help you choose the best route.
