Kenya and Tanzania Tours and Trips 2024/2025

A combined trip to Kenya and Tanzania is the best way to unpack the essence of East Africa. Hike the iconic Hell’s Gate National Park, climb Mount Kilimanjaro, or follow the Great Wildebeest Migration as they cross Serengeti in Tanzania to reach Maasai Mara in Kenya. Spotting the Big Five is a must in both countires. Visitors will find plenty of safari tours in both countries. On our guided Kenya tour, witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of a million flamingos at Lake Nakuru National Park. And while on a game drive in Tanzania's Tarangire National Park, track down massive herds of elephants. Our Kenya and Tanzania tours start and end in Nairobi, Kenya's vibrant capital, or Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania's northern safari circuit. These cities offer excellent international flight connections and serve as ideal launchpads for your trip.

Kenya & Tanzania Tour Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 739 customer reviews
Incredible tour - especially thanks to the great team
5 - Excellent
  • Stephan Gnther Helmut Dengler
“We did the Lemosho route over the turn of the year, accompanied by our guides Raymond and Gilibert and their strong Porter-Team. At first, we weren't quite sure whether four "lowland-Indians" like us Germans would be able to conquer the almost 6,000 meter-high Kilimanjaro, but we decided to do on this adventure. Thanks to the incredibly warm and friendly nature of our team (I'll never forget Raymond looking in my eyes saying "My brother from another mother" ?), who always gave us their full support and stood by us physically and mentally, we managed it. I can only wish all interested parties an incredibly strong and supportive guide-duo like we had, then "Kill the Kili" is no longer just a saying but reality. Thank you very much — we will never forget that journey ❤”
Excellent managed tour by guides and team

“We had a very well organised trip to Uhuru Peak, all thanks to our tour guides Reyson and Gilbert. Also a big thank you to the cook, the waiter and the porters. Without their help, we would not have made it up to the top. I must say, this was a life changing experience!”
A Team That Goes Above and Beyond!

  • Eric
“This tour provider hits it out of the park on the big wins: safety, logistics, and expertise. Their guides conducted twice daily health checks, measuring blood oxygen to ensure we were acclimating appropriately and they had medication ready to cover any malady. On summit day they carried oxygen as a safety measure that I found necessary after experiencing altitude sickness and the team even provided it to another suffering climber whose guides were not carrying oxygen. Not all guide services have these safety measures! The logistics flow was impressive from the get-go with airport and hotel shuttles. The camp logistics on-mountain was even more so. We’d depart camp after breakfast, they’d have tea and snacks set up along the trail, and we’d arrive at lunch to find the mess tent already set up with lunch ready, just to find it and our sleeping tents set up again at the end of the hike with tea and popcorn waiting and dinner shortly to follow. The consideration that the Porter team put into our comfort was overwhelming. The expertise of the team was unquestionable. The company clearly takes hiring very seriously and recruits knowledgeable guides. Professionals across the board whom we greatly trusted. With the big wins checked off in style, the company goes above and beyond with personal touches that make the trip truly memorable. I think the most memorable for us was the tradition and ceremony that the team brought to the experience - celebratory group singing and dancing especially, even cakes and champagne! Then small things like hot water bottles to keep sleeping bags warm really made us feel well cared for.”

Traveling to Kenya and Tanzania: An Overview

Looking for more information to plan your Kenya and Tanzania itinerary? From transport options to trip highlights to travel tips, we’ve got you covered!

Getting From Kenya to Tanzania

Traveling to Tanzania from Kenya is fairly easy and is the most preferred itinerary. When you're planning your journey from Kenya to Tanzania, you have got a couple of great options to choose from. First is taking a flight, which offers speed and convenience. You can board a plane in Nairobi, Kenya's capital, and land either at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is well-connected and makes for a smooth starting point.

Another option is to travel by road, which can be a more scenic adventure. You can take a private shuttle or a bus from Nairobi to Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania's northern safari circuit. You will get to soak in the beautiful East African landscapes along the way.

Best Time to Visit Kenya and Tanzania

The best time to embark on your Kenya and Tanzania safari adventure is during the dry season, which spans from late June to October. Wildlife viewing is at its best during this time, as animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot.

Mild weather and clear skies prevail throughout the season, ensuring comfortable and picturesque safari experiences. It is an ideal time for travelers, as the conditions maximize opportunities for game drives, cultural encounters, and enjoying the diverse landscapes of these East African gems. However, the pièce de résistance of taking a combined trip to the two countries during the dry season is the Great Wildebeest Migration, which takes place from July to August.

For more detailed information, read our best time to visit Tanzania and best time to visit Kenya guides.

Highlights of Kenya and Tanzania Trip

Wildebeests and zebras crossing the Mara River.
Witness million of wildebeests and thousands of Zebras cross the Maara River to get from Tanzania to Kenya in the course of the Great Migration.
A back view of Maasai warrior sitting on rocks at a beach.
Familiarize yourself with the local culture by interacting with the Maasai tribe in both Kenya and Tanzania.
  • Opt for a hot air balloon safari in Serengeti National Park (Tanzania) and a game drive in Maasai Mara National Reserve (Kenya) to witness the annual Great Wildebeest Migration from two completely different points of view.
  • Immerse yourself in the rich cultures of East Africa by visiting Maasai villages in both countries. Learn about their traditional customs, dances, and way of life.
  • Delight your taste buds with the diverse flavors of East African cuisine. Enjoy traditional dishes like nyama choma (barbecued meat) in Kenya and the aromatic spices of Tanzanian cuisine on your culture trip in Kenya and Tanzania.
  • Take in the sheer size and majesty of Kenya’s Lake Victoria on a boat tour. For an extra special experience, opt for a sunset cruise to see the surrounding landscape in a new light.
  • Snorkel in the crystal clear waters off the coast of Zanzibar in Tanzania. Explore the vibrant coral reefs and swim alongside spectacular marine life, including angelfish, dolphins, stingrays, and turtles.

Kenya and Tanzania Travel Tips

  • Optimize currency exchange by withdrawing or exchanging cash in larger cities like Nairobi or Arusha, where you will find more favorable rates than in remote areas. Carry sufficient local currency for both countries.
  • Tanzania and Kenya have different plug types. Ensure your electronics are compatible with both UK-style Type G and Type D sockets to keep your devices charged throughout your journey.
  • Prepare yourself for the road conditions in Tanzania, where infrastructure is lacking compared to Kenya.
  • Bring a waterproof jacket. Just because you are in East Africa does not mean you will get sunshine daily. The weather can change instantly if you are around the rainforests near Mount Kilimanjaro.
  • Bottled water is going to be your best friend on your Kenya and Tanzania adventure trip, as safe drinking water is not accessible everywhere, and you are likely going to spend a lot of time out in the sun.

FAQ for Kenya and Tanzania tours

1. Is it easy to travel between Kenya and Tanzania?

Tanzania and Kenya are neighbors, so traveling between the two countries is fairly easy. The cheapest and most popular way to travel is by bus or organized overland crossing. If you are short on time, there are also plenty of short-haul flights between the two countries.

2. Do I need visas to travel to Kenya and Tanzania?

Unless you are from a visa-exempt country such as Botswana, Rwanda, Singapore, and around 40 others, you will need visas to enter Tanzania and Kenya. You will need separate visas for both countries. You can obtain these visas from the respective embassies or consulates in your home country or upon arrival at major entry points. Some travelers may also be eligible for e-visas, which can be applied online in advance.

3. Are any specific health precautions or vaccinations required for a combined Kenya and Tanzania tour, and what medical facilities are available in remote safari areas?

Yellow fever vaccination is often required to enter both the countries, and malaria prophylaxis is recommended. Carry a basic first-aid kit and ensure your travel insurance covers medical emergencies. Medical facilities in remote safari areas may be limited, so plan accordingly.

4. Is travel insurance necessary for a combined Kenya and Tanzania tour, and what should it cover to ensure a smooth trip?

Travel insurance is highly recommended. It should cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and evacuations. Ensure it also includes coverage for the activities you plan to engage in, such as safaris and adventure sports.
