Planning a trip to Kenya and Tanzania
Pulled from the route below — so it says what it does, not what a brochure would.
When to go
Jan–Feb, Jul–Oct — the months this route recommends.
How long you need
Every route here runs 12 days.
What it costs
≈ AED 1,550 per person per day. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
Two sets of rules on this trip, and both have to be sorted before you fly.
- Kenya: Travel authorisation online first, 90 days. Kenya replaced visas with an electronic authorisation for every nationality in 2024. A hotel booking is asked for.
- Tanzania: e-Visa online before you go, 90 days. Also issued at the border.
Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with each embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
Where these routes go: Nairobi · Masai Mara · Serengeti · Ngorongoro · Zanzibar.

Best for: Both halves of the same migration, then a week's worth of beach in three days
Kenya and Tanzania in 12 days: the Mara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar
Nairobi → Masai Mara → Serengeti → Ngorongoro → Zanzibar
The Mara and the Serengeti are one ecosystem with a border through the middle, and doing both is the only way to follow the herds rather than hope. Then a volcanic caldera with its own resident lions, and an Indian Ocean island to stop moving on.
