You might be asking yourself; which country has the best national parks and the most exciting wildlife? Well for us both make for an epic safari & that’s why, to complement our popular Kenya safaris, we created these in-depth Kenya and Tanzania safari tours exploring the two greatest wildlife environments in Africa.
“You might see the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) on your Kenya and Tanzania safari, but doing so requires careful planning.
One of the most popular groups of animals to see on safari is the “Big Five”: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and rhinoceroses. The Masai Mara and Serengeti national parks are both known for their Big Five populations. The Masai Mara National Reserve is home to one of the largest lion populations in Africa, as well as large herds of elephants, buffalos, and giraffes. The Serengeti National Park is famous for its annual wildebeest migration, which is one of the world’s most spectacular wildlife events.
The parks also have a variety of other animals, including lions, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests.
The best time to take a combined Kenya and Tanzania safari depends on what you would like to see and experience.
Visiting Kenya And Tanzania During The Dry Season
“The best time to go on your Kenya and Tanzania safari is from June to October. This is the Dry season, which has two advantages. First, this is when you can generally expect clear skies and fine weather: rain is very unlikely to disrupt your safari. The second benefit is that these months are when the animals are easiest to see.
In Kenya, the dry season runs from June to October while in Tanzania, it runs from June to November. During this time, the grass is also shorter which makes it easier to spot animals.
If you’re a birdwatcher, you may want to consider going sometime between November (when millions of migratory birds arrive in East Africa) and April (when most of them return).
At Big Five Kenya Safaris, we offer a variety of luxury Kenya and Tanzania combined safaris for those looking for an extra touch of experience. Our luxury safaris in Tanzania and Kenya are designed to provide guests with the ultimate comfort and style while exploring the stunning wildlife reserves of East Africa.
Explore our top luxury safari accommodations in Tanzania and Kenya, tours that covers everything you can imagine from these jewels in the East African. Enjoy your stay at some of the most luxurious lodges and tented safari camps in both Kenya and Tanzania.
The best safari tours to Kenya and Tanzania vary greatly when it comes to cost. As a very rough estimate, expect the cheapest budget safaris to start at around US$350 per person per day, while top-end luxury trips can cost US$600 per person per day or even much more. Also, there are a number of different variables to consider when calculating the cost of your Kenya safari. First, there’s the accommodations. If you’re staying in simple camping tents you can, of course, expect to pay significantly less than if you’re staying in five-star rooms or luxury Kenya safari lodges. The season in which you’re traveling can also play a role: high-season prices can be double the prices you’ll pay in low season, or even more.
