Our core safari itineraries

Nature Point Africa is enquiry-based. Every safari is quoted individually once we know your dates, party size and preferred standard of camp, because those three things move the number more than any published rate would suggest.

Why book direct

Booking direct with a Nairobi owner-operator

Many Kenya and Tanzania safaris sold in the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore are designed abroad and delivered on the ground by an operator in Nairobi, with a margin added between the two. Nature Point Africa is the operator on the ground. The vehicles, the driver-guides and the lodge relationships are ours.

The practical difference is not only price. It is that when you ask which camp has the better hide, or whether a nine-year-old will manage the crater road, or whether your dates will actually catch the crossings, the answer comes from someone who was there recently rather than from a supplier note.

Choosing your months

The wildebeest herds are in the Masai Mara roughly July to October and in the Serengeti December to March. The Mara River crossings usually peak in August and September. December to February is the southern Serengeti calving season, which produces the strongest predator viewing of the year. April and May are the long rains, and we will say so rather than sell you a difficult trip. Our guide to the Great Migration in Kenya goes month by month.

Flights and entry requirements

How you get here is genuinely different depending on where you start: the routings from New York, London, Sydney, Toronto, Auckland and Singapore have almost nothing in common. Each country page above sets out realistic planning for that market, the entry checks for that passport and the school-holiday windows that matter there. Airlines and schedules change seasonally, so every page asks you to verify current carriers and timings when booking.

Most visitors enter Kenya on an online Electronic Travel Authorization, with a separate Tanzania e-visa for the Serengeti and Ngorongoro leg. Requirements and fees vary by nationality, so verify them on the official government portals before booking flights.

Three landscapes

See the landscapes behind the itinerary

A strong safari route is not a checklist of parks. It should connect distinct habitats, keep transfer days sensible and leave enough time for wildlife encounters to unfold. These three landscapes are useful starting points when deciding what matters most to you.

How we work

One team, start to finish

From your home airport to the last game drive, the same team handles it.

Tailor-made, not packaged

Every itinerary is built for the party travelling it. There is no fixed departure and no shared vehicle.

One named contact

The person who writes your quote is the person who answers while you are on safari. No handover to a different department.

Written before it is booked

A written itinerary, an itemised quote and our terms, before any money moves.

Owner-operated in Nairobi

You are dealing with the company that runs the safari, not with a reseller who has contracted it out.

How many days should your Kenya and Tanzania safari take?

Compare realistic 7, 10, 12 and 14-day routes before choosing parks and lodges. The guide explains transfer days, family pacing, migration planning and when a two-country itinerary becomes too rushed.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How much does a 10-day Kenya and Tanzania safari cost?
We quote every safari individually rather than publishing a headline rate, because the honest number depends on your dates, your party size and the standard of camp you want, and those three things move it far more than a rate card suggests. What is included is fixed: all park and conservancy fees, lodges and tented camps, meals on safari, a private 4×4 with a professional driver-guide, and all ground transfers. International airfare, visas, insurance and gratuities are not. Send us your dates and you get a written, itemised quote in your currency.
When is the best time to see the Great Migration?
The wildebeest herds are in the Masai Mara roughly from July to October and in the Serengeti from December to March. The dramatic Mara River crossings usually peak in August and September. December to February is the southern Serengeti calving season, which produces the strongest predator viewing of the year. We time departures around the movement of the herds and around the dates you can actually travel.
Do I need a visa for a Kenya safari?
Most international visitors now enter Kenya with an online Electronic Travel Authorization, applied for before departure. The Tanzanian leg covering the Serengeti and Ngorongoro requires a separate e-visa. Requirements and fees differ by the passport you hold, so please verify them on the official Kenyan and Tanzanian government portals before booking flights. We send a checklist for your nationality once your safari is confirmed.
What does booking direct with a Nairobi owner-operator actually mean?
It means the company you are talking to is the company that runs the safari. Many safaris sold in the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore are designed abroad and delivered by a ground operator in Nairobi, with a margin added in between. We are the ground operator. The vehicles, the driver-guides and the lodge relationships are ours, so the answers come from the team arranging the trip.
