Can I combine Kenya and Tanzania?

Yes. Many guests visit the Serengeti and the Masai Mara on one trip, or Amboseli and northern Tanzania. You will need visas or travel authorisation for both countries.

When is the Mara River crossing?

The herds are usually in the Masai Mara between July and October. Crossings depend on the rains and the herds' movements, so we plan several days in the area to give you the best chance.

Do I need a visa for Kenya?

Most visitors need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA), applied for online before travel. See our visa guide.

About Kenya

Kenya is where the classic safari began. Watch the Great Migration cross the Mara River, follow elephant herds across Amboseli with Kilimanjaro on the horizon, track rhinos in Ol Pejeta and Lake Nakuru, and look for the special northern species of Samburu.

Kenya combines naturally with northern Tanzania: the Serengeti and Masai Mara are one ecosystem, and the road border at Namanga is only a few hours from Arusha. Finish with the beaches of Diani on the Indian Ocean.
