Can we start this 7-day safari from Nairobi?

Do I need a separate visa for Tanzania when coming from Kenya?

Most travelers require a separate visa for Tanzania. You can apply for an e-visa online in advance or obtain one at the Namanga border upon arrival, depending on your nationality.

Is the Masai Mara different from the Serengeti?

Can we include the Amboseli National Park in this tour?

Since this 7-day itinerary focuses on the Tanzanian northern circuit, Amboseli would need to be visited before you cross the border. We can help you coordinate the timing for a seamless cross-border experience.

US Dollars are widely accepted in Tanzania for tips and extra activities. We recommend bringing smaller denominations for tips and some Tanzanian Shillings for local purchases at markets or shops.
