Why here

Why we build every safari around Kenya and Tanzania

I

Tailor-made from the first message

Every trip starts as a conversation, not a template. Tell us your pace, your budget and what you actually want to see, and we build the route around that.

II

Direct pricing, no hidden extras

You book with us directly, without a third-party agent adding their own margin on top. What you're quoted is what you pay.

III

Guides who know the ground

Our guides are local, several born and raised in the regions they drive through, with the kind of wildlife knowledge that only comes from years on the same tracks.

IV

Kenya and Tanzania, properly combined

The Mara and the Serengeti sit right next to each other. We handle the border crossing, the flights and the logistics so the two countries feel like one continuous trip, not two separate bookings bolted together.

V

Conservation and community, built in

Park and conservancy fees fund real anti-poaching and habitat work, and we prioritise local guides and staff so the benefit of your trip stays close to the land it's built around.

VI

Easy to extend

Fancy finishing on a beach in Zanzibar or Diani, or adding a few days on Kilimanjaro? Tell us, and we'll build it into the same itinerary.

Common questions

Before you book

Yes, both countries require a visa for most nationalities. Apply online before you travel to avoid delays on arrival, and make sure your passport has at least six blank pages and is valid well beyond your travel dates.

A yellow fever certificate is mandatory for entry into Tanzania. Beyond that, we’d recommend a visit to your doctor or a travel clinic for personalised advice, since recommendations vary by health history. Most lodges provide mosquito nets and spray as standard, but anti-malarial medication is worth discussing with your doctor too.

Cards are accepted at the vast majority of safari lodges, and you can also use them for extra meals, shopping or incidentals along the way. Cash works too, at the exchange rate in effect at the time.

Kenya and Tanzania share fairly similar weather patterns. The long rains fall roughly from April to May, when some camps close temporarily for the season or for renovations. The wildebeest migration is typically in the Serengeti and Maasai Mara area between June and September, though exact timing shifts year to year with rainfall.

No. The East Africa Visa covers Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda as a single visa, which is useful if you’re combining a safari with gorilla trekking. Tanzania sits outside that visa and needs to be applied for separately.

Yes. We have professional guides who speak several languages. Where your preferred language means bringing in a guide from outside our usual team, there can be a small additional cost, but we’ll always aim to keep that as affordable as possible.
