Kenya and Tanzania offer good wildlife viewing all year. The long dry season, roughly June to October, is the most popular time, and the Great Migration usually reaches the Maasai Mara from around July. From about December to March the herds gather to give birth in the southern Serengeti around Ndutu. April and May bring the long rains, with fewer visitors, green landscapes and lower prices. Tell us your dates and we will suggest the best places for that time of year.

You need a passport valid for at least six months and an approved Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA), which you apply for online at etakenya.go.ke before you travel. Since October 2026, most foreign visitors must also hold Kenya’s mandatory inbound travel health insurance, which is handled as part of the eTA application. Tanzania and Zanzibar have their own entry and insurance rules. Because these requirements change, we send you the current rules for your exact route together with your itinerary.

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you are arriving from, or have transited through, a country with a risk of yellow fever. Malaria is present in many safari areas, so speak to a travel health clinic about anti-malaria tablets and recommended vaccines at least six weeks before you travel.

Every tour page lists exactly what is included and excluded. Our safaris typically include park entry fees, accommodation, the meals listed, transport in a safari vehicle with a professional driver-guide, and airport transfers. International flights, travel insurance, your eTA, tips and personal expenses are not included.
