A safari is simply a guided journey into wildlife country. In Kenya and Tanzania that means open plains, big skies and animals living exactly as they always have, watched from a vehicle with a guide who knows where to look.
Most trips run three to ten days and combine two or three parks. You sleep in tented camps or lodges, drive out early when animals are active, rest through the middle of the day and head out again in the late afternoon light.
Travel by 4×4 between parks. The most popular and best value way to see Kenya and Tanzania.
Light aircraft between airstrips. Saves a full day of driving on longer routes.
Private vehicle, quieter camps and a slower pace built for two.
Shorter drives, family tents and guides who are good with children.

Every legitimate Kenyan operator holds a Tourism Regulatory Authority licence. Ask for the number and verify it.
