Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Great Migration or a river crossing guaranteed?

No sighting can be guaranteed — the migration is a natural, seasonal movement, so this itinerary gives you the best chance to see it depending on wildlife movement at the time.

What kind of accommodation is used on this safari?

Comfortable midrange lodges and tented camps as specified in the day-by-day itinerary.

Will I have the same guide for the whole trip?

Yes — you travel with one professional safari guide throughout the journey, including the Tanzania–Kenya border crossing.

Do I need a separate visa for Kenya?

Yes — Kenya requires its own eVisa or East Africa Tourist Visa, separate from a Tanzania-only visa. We can advise on this when planning your trip.
