Why Travel With Us
What Separates a Good Kenya Safari from an Exceptional One
Every operator runs game drives. What varies is what happens between departures.
Our guides track wildlife movement daily. They know when to leave camp early, which routes are producing sightings that morning, and when to stay at a kill rather than move on.
That decision — made in the field at 6am — determines your day. No algorithm makes that call. Our guides do.
- Routes chosen from that morning's actual sightings — not last week's schedule
- Drive times extended when wildlife demands it
- Guides with multi-season knowledge of each park's patterns
- Itineraries built to maximise field time, not distance covered on a map

Kenya & Tanzania Safari — Common Questions Answered
How much do Kenya safari tours cost?
Kenya safari costs depend on season, accommodation level, group size, and itinerary length. Mid-range safaris start from $250–$400 per person per day. Luxury lodge and tented camp safaris range from $600–$1,500 per person per day. We build every quote to your exact budget — contact us for a custom figure based on your travel dates, preferred parks, and accommodation preferences.
When is the best time for a Tanzania safari?
Tanzania's Serengeti has excellent wildlife year-round. The Great Migration calving season runs December–February in the southern Serengeti — one of the most dramatic events in East Africa. River crossings in the northern Serengeti peak July–October, overlapping with Kenya's Maasai Mara. The Ngorongoro Crater is strong all year. February offers high wildlife activity with lower rates than peak season.
When is the best time for a Kenya safari?
Kenya offers excellent wildlife year-round. The Great Migration peaks in the Maasai Mara July–October with dramatic wildebeest river crossings. January–March is dry, uncrowded, and strong for Big Five and predator sightings. April, May, and November are the green seasons — lower rates, fewer visitors, and exceptional birdlife. The right time depends on which parks you're visiting and what you want to see.
Can I combine Kenya and Tanzania on one safari?
Yes — this is one of our most-requested options. We route the Maasai Mara and Serengeti together to cover the full Great Migration ecosystem without backtracking. Zanzibar beach extensions of 3–5 nights are popular at the end. We handle all cross-border logistics — permits, internal flights, transfers, and accommodation across both countries.
Do you offer Tanzania safari packages from Nairobi?
Yes. Many Tanzania safaris depart Nairobi via a short flight to Kilimanjaro or Arusha. We handle the full logistics — Nairobi transfers, internal flights, Tanzania park fees, and accommodation. Combined Kenya and Tanzania safaris starting and ending in Nairobi are one of our most-requested routes.
What is included in Kenya safari packages?
Standard inclusions: all accommodation, national park and conservancy fees, 4WD safari vehicle, professional guide, morning and afternoon game drives, airport transfers, and meals as specified. Not included: international flights, travel insurance, optional activities, gratuities, visa fees, and personal expenses. Every inclusion is confirmed in writing before any payment.
Is Kenya safe for tourists on safari?
Kenya's established safari destinations — Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu, Tsavo East, Tsavo West, and the Kenyan coast — have well-maintained infrastructure, licensed guides, and reliable national park security. Beyond the Plains Safaris is a fully bonded KATO member operating to full Kenya tourism industry safety standards. Our team is reachable throughout your entire trip.
Do you offer group safari tours in Kenya and Tanzania?
Yes. We handle group safari bookings of any size — from small private groups to large corporate, family reunion, or honeymoon parties. Group itineraries are fully custom — no fixed departure dates. Dedicated 4WD vehicles and experienced guides are assigned throughout. Everything is planned around your group's schedule, budget, and wildlife priorities.
Kenya & Tanzania Safari Planning
What Actually Determines Your Kenya or Tanzania Safari Experience
The destination is only part of it. Travel time between parks, your guide's field knowledge, the season you travel in, and how your game drives are timed — these determine what you see day to day.
We design Kenya safari tours and Tanzania safari packages that connect all of these elements — whether you're exploring the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu, the Serengeti, or combining Kenya with Tanzania and Zanzibar.
- Safari packages from 7 to 14+ days across Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar
- Luxury safaris, honeymoon safaris, family safaris, and group tours
- Itineraries built around Great Migration timing, seasonal conditions, and Big Five sightings
- Combined Kenya and Tanzania routing designed to eliminate backtracking and maximise field time
- Custom quotes within 24 hours — no automated pricing
Wildlife Positioning — The Detail That Changes Everything
Our guides choose routes from that morning's sightings. They stay when conditions are exceptional. Thirty minutes in the right position at the right time is the difference between watching a crossing and missing it. That judgment is built over years in the same parks.
Kenya & Tanzania Combined — No Wasted Days
The Maasai Mara and Serengeti are one ecosystem. Combining them covers the full Great Migration circuit. We sequence the route to keep your days in the field — not in vehicles between poorly connected airports and lodges.
Packages or Fully Custom — Your Choice
We offer both structured safari itineraries and fully custom packages. Popular options: 7-day Tanzania classic safari, 9-day Kenya safari covering Amboseli, Maasai Mara, and Lake Nakuru, 10-day Kenya and Tanzania safari, 11-day best of Kenya safari, and 14-day Kenya with Zanzibar extension. Every itinerary is adjustable by date, budget, accommodation level, and pace. No fixed departures.
The right Kenya safari operator determines your experience more than any single destination. Beyond the Plains Safaris is a KATO-registered, TRA-licensed operator — 1st Runners-Up at the 2025 Tourism Excellence Awards — with a consistent international client record built on expert field performance across Kenya and Tanzania.
