See the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti, Amboseli and Ngorongoro, all on one trip, with one team handling every border crossing, lodge booking and park permit along the way.
The Maasai Mara and the Serengeti are the same ecosystem split by a border on a map, not two different experiences. Combining both countries on one trip means you’re not choosing between them, and the same applies to Amboseli’s elephant herds and Ngorongoro’s crater floor, two of Africa’s most reliable wildlife-viewing spots sitting only a day’s drive apart. Doing this on your own means arranging two sets of permits, two sets of guides, and figuring out the Namanga border crossing yourself. We handle all of it as a single trip, with one point of contact from the morning you land to the night before you fly home
Every itinerary below is private and can be shortened, extended, or reordered around your dates.
A combined safari can include any mix of the destinations below. Tell us which ones matter most and we’ll build the route around them.
Most combined safaris cross at Namanga, the main Kenya-Tanzania border post between Amboseli and Arusha. Your vehicle and driver guide handle the paperwork, and the crossing itself usually takes under an hour outside of peak holiday periods. Some itineraries use one driver guide for the whole trip, others switch to a Tanzanian guide and vehicle once you cross, depending on the route. Either way, it’s arranged in advance, so you’re not managing it yourself.
Here is exactly what is covered and what is not, so there is nothing to work out later.
What you need to know before you book a safari in Tanzania.
Yes, each country requires its own visa or eTA. Check current requirements for your nationality with the relevant embassy or an official government site before booking.
7 days gives you a solid taste of both countries, focused on fewer parks. 12 to 14 days lets you properly cover the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro without rushing between them.
It depends on the itinerary. Some routes keep one driver-guide the whole way, others switch to a local Tanzanian team at the border. We’ll confirm which applies to your chosen route before you book.
Yes. We can run any of these itineraries in reverse, starting in Arusha and ending in Nairobi, if that suits your flights better.
It depends on timing. The herds move between the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara through the year, so where you see them depends on when you travel, not which country your trip starts in.
Yes. Most combined routes end near Arusha or Nairobi, from where we can add a Kilimanjaro climb, a Zanzibar beach stay, or time on the Kenyan coast.
