Safari summary

Kenya and Tanzania are both prime wildlife destinations. Kenya is home to the Masai Mara, one of the best places in the world to see Africa’s big cats, whilst Tanzania houses the Serengeti National Park, arguably the most famous national park in Africa.

Together the two countries house all of the Big Five (lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and buffalos) as well as a host of other animals which are no doubt on your bucket list, such as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hyenas and much more.

The landscape in both countries is also incredible. You have the tallest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania, as well as the second tallest, Mount Kenya, in Kenya. The Great Rift Valley carves through both countries and means that they both contain a number of impressive lakes, both freshwater and saltwater, which are teeming with life.

A safari that visits both countries allows you to see the highlights of each. Furthermore, due to the location of the parks in both countries, it’s very easy to do a circuit that hits the Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and more, which doesn’t involve too much driving.

Many airlines allow you to book multi-city tickets which allow you to land in one city and leave from another. The price isn’t too dissimilar to booking return flights in and out of the same city which makes this an extremely convenient option.
