    RELATED FAQS ABOUT 7 Days Serengeti Migration Safari from Kenya

    How do we cross the border for the 7-day safari from Kenya in Serengeti Migration?

    We typically pick you up at the Namanga border where you cross from Kenya into Tanzania. Our team will help you with the immigration process to ensure a smooth transition before starting your safari in Arusha

    Can we start this 7-day safari from Nairobi?

    Yes, we can arrange for a shuttle or a private transfer from Nairobi to the Namanga border. Alternatively, you can fly from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro International Airport where our guide will meet you

    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?

    While they are part of the same ecosystem, the Serengeti is much larger and offers more diverse landscapes. Starting the 7-day safari from Kenya allows you to see the full scale of the migration across both countries.

    What is the best time for a 7-day safari from Kenya in Serengeti Migration?

    The best time is between July and October when the migration is in the north. This timing allows you to witness the dramatic river crossings at the Mara River on the Tanzanian side.

    Are the safari vehicles in Tanzania different from Kenya?

    Our Tanzanian safari vehicles are typically 4x4 Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs. They are well-maintained and specifically designed to handle the rugged terrain of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

    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.

    What currency should I use during the safari?

    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.

    Does Burigi Chato Safaris CO LTD provide cross-border transfers?

    We specialize in the Tanzanian portion of the trip, but we can help arrange the logistics for your transfer from Kenya to the border where our guide will meet you.

    How many people can join the 7-day Serengeti Migration safari from Kenya?

    Our private tours can accommodate any group size, using multiple vehicles if necessary. Each vehicle typically holds up to six passengers to ensure everyone has a window seat and a great view.
