What is the best time to see the Great Migration?

The migration is a year-round event moving in a circular pattern. For river crossings in the Maasai Mara, visit July to October. For calving season in the southern Serengeti, visit January to March.

Do I need visas for both Kenya and Tanzania?

Yes, most nationalities require visas for both countries. These can be obtained in advance online or upon arrival at the border/airport. We recommend arranging them in advance to save time.

What vaccinations are required?

Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory, and you'll need to show your certificate at border crossings. We also recommend malaria prophylaxis and updating routine vaccinations. Consult your doctor before travel.

What should I pack for safari?

Neutral-colored clothing (avoid bright colors and black/blue which attract tsetse flies), layers for variable temperatures, sun protection, insect repellent, camera with zoom lens, binoculars, and a small daypack.

How physically demanding is this safari?

This safari has a moderate activity level. Game viewing is done from vehicles, though some lodges offer optional short guided walks. The main physical consideration is long drives on bumpy roads and early mornings.
