Kenya and Tanzania Safari Tour Reviews
- Road to Zanzibar (9 destinations)
The tour was fantastic! Everything was according to itinerary but we got so much more!) Saw the big 5, a lot of lions and other wild animals at a very close distance, had a night in the rainforest under Kilimanjaro, visited a lot of cool places and welcoming local communities. Thanks for everything to Intrepid, our guide and leader Jacob and the awesome cook Sylvia!)
We have just completed the 9 day Two Birds one Stone eco tour of Maasai Mara and Serengeti. It has been the most amazing experience for all the right reasons. Of course it's all about the animals we have seen, but we had the most awesome guides in both Kenya and Tanzania. The staff at all the wild camps and lodges we stayed at where so friendly and helpful. Knowing we could enjoy all of this with as small an impact on the environment as possible was comforting.
Kenya AND Tanzania Classic Safari – Two Birds with One Stone **Sustainable Approach to Travel
Our 14-day Kenya and Tanzania Migration Lodge Safari was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived in Nairobi to the final farewell, every day was filled with awe-inspiring moments and unforgettable experiences. Our adventure began with a warm welcome in Nairobi,Transfer to hotel Ole Sereni where our knowledgeable guide briefed us on the journey ahead. The luxurious accommodations provided a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the African wilderness.African Brekafast was great!!! Amboseli National Park in Kenya was our first stop, and the sight of majestic elephants roaming against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro took our breath away. We witnessed thrilling wildlife encounters during our game drives, including close encounters with lions and cheetahs.Sopa lodges so magnificient. Crossing into Tanzania,border abit slow but was well organized with changing guides from Zack the genius to John M. Lake Manyara National Park enchanted us with its diverse landscapes and abundant birdlife. Spotting tree-climbing lions was a highlight, and the boat safari on Lake Manyara offered a serene perspective of the park's beauty. The Serengeti National Park was the epitome of safari magic. Witnessing the Great Migration firsthand was a dream come true as we watched thousands of wildebeests and zebras thunder across the plains. Our lodge perched on the edge of the Serengeti provided uninterrupted views of the vast savannah and unforgettable sunsets.Serena lodges are super ! Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater felt like entering a lost world teeming with wildlife. We marveled at the sheer abundance of animals in this natural amphitheater, from graceful gazelles to mighty rhinos. The grand finale awaited us in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The Mara River crossings were the highlight of our safari, as we held our breath watching the dramatic spectacle unfold before our eyes. Our expert guide John , ensured we had front-row seats to nature's greatest show. Each evening, we gathered around the campfire under the starlit sky, sharing stories of the day's adventures and listening to the sounds of the African night. The hospitality of the lodge staff made us feel like family, and the delicious cuisine was a delightful surprise. As we bid farewell to Kenya and Tanzania, we carried with us memories that will last a lifetime. This safari exceeded all expectations, thanks to the impeccable planning and personalized service. It truly was the journey of a lifetime, and I cannot wait to return to Africa's wild embrace.Masai Mara crowned all the taste of an Africa Photo Safari - Sopa Lodges tastifully located at great views of sunset thank you Zack again for picking us from the other border point for this gtreat encounter with wildlife . I would recommend thsi tour to many who really want to see the great diverse landscape and lakes plus plains in Africa - Serenegeti and Mara plains.
East Africa's Mara, Crater & Serengeti Migration Safari
What our customers ask about Kenya & Tanzania Safari Tours
What are the best times of year to visit Kenya and Tanzania for wildlife viewing?
The prime seasons for wildlife viewing fall between July and October when the Great Migration brings millions of wildebeest moving between Serengeti and Masai Mara. Clear viewing conditions exist during the dry seasons (June-October and January-February) as animals congregate near water sources. Many travelers have found success during these periods. A TourRadar traveler notes "During July/August the annual Migration of Wildebeest takes place - this is the right time to spend extra days in the Mara to witness this spectacular event."
What wildlife can I expect to see on a Kenya and Tanzania safari?
The parks feature the "Big Five" (lion leopard elephant rhino buffalo) along with large groups of wildebeest zebras and gazelles. Both regions support diverse ecosystems with hippos giraffes and hundreds of bird species. The Serengeti and Masai Mara have earned their reputation for frequent big cat encounters. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We saw all the Big 5 animals during our safari. The Mara hosts Kenya's largest lion prides and elephant herds. The concentration of game within the Reserve almost guarantees that you will see 4 of the big five on your first game drive!"
What are the key differences between visiting Kenya versus Tanzania for safari?
Kenya's Masai Mara offers accessible savanna landscapes and frequent big cat sightings while Tanzania's Serengeti provides vast open spaces and the unique enclosed ecosystem of Ngorongoro Crater. According to TourRadar travelers: "Tanzania's Serengeti felt more remote with fewer vehicles while Kenya's Masai Mara had excellent infrastructure and frequent wildlife sightings." Kenya's Lake Nakuru specializes in rhino viewing while Tanzania's crater environment ensures reliable animal encounters.
What are some unique cultural experiences available during a Kenya and Tanzania safari?
The safari routes include stops at traditional Maasai communities local markets and heritage centers. One TourRadar traveler shared: "Visiting a Maasai village near Masai Mara was fascinating - we learned about their traditions saw traditional dances and got to buy beautiful handmade jewelry." Travelers can meet Samburu people in Kenya explore Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania and stay at culturally-inspired properties like Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge.
How do the different types of safari accommodations compare in Kenya and Tanzania?
Accommodations range from high-end lodges to authentic tented camps. Properties like Serena Sweetwaters Camp offer modern amenities including swimming pools and climate control. Canvas accommodations such as Mara Zebra Plains connect guests with nature through their open design. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The lodges were wonderful with the best meals and views. We could see elephants and zebras right from our tent at Serengeti Heritage Lodge." Mid-tier options like Lake Nakuru Lodge balance comfort with safari authenticity.
How much does a Kenya and Tanzania safari typically cost?
Daily rates run between USD 350-1000 per person based on accommodation choices and planned activities. Most 10-14 day combination safaris across both countries range from USD 4000-8000 including meals lodging at properties like Serengeti Safari Lodge game drives and entry fees. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Though not cheap the experience and service at luxury lodges like Serena hotels were worth every penny." Private tours and extended stays tend to command higher prices.
