Frequently asked questions
Is the Maasai Mara or the Serengeti better?
The Mara is smaller and has more big cats per square kilometre, while the Serengeti is vast and wilder. Doing both is the best answer.
Do we need two visas?
Yes. Kenya uses an online eTA and Tanzania has its own visa. We send you clear instructions after booking.
