    Awesome Experience

    This trip was amazing. We had two different drivers, Sammie - who was on time, kind, knowledgeable and a very safe driver, took us throughout the Masai Mara and Edgar - who was very informative, patient and also an exceptionally safe driver. Both drivers were very considerate when we would spot an animal and gave us time to take pictures and also experience the live nature we went to Kenya/Tanzania for. We had an amazing time, the food and the lodgings were very clean and safe, and I would just give everyone a heads up on a few things, none of which would likely be different for any other tour operator: (a) there is a lot of driving/sitting in a car for this, and sometimes on rough roads (b) you need a separate visa for Tanzania and a yellow fever vaccination/certification (c) the transfer from Arusha to Nairobi is a on a local bus.

    Response from the operator: Hi Joshwa, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us, Joshwa! We are thrilled to hear that both Sammie and Edgar provided excellent service, making your safari across Kenya and Tanzania a memorable adventure. We truly appreciate your kind words about the drivers, accommodations, and overall experience. We also value the helpful tips you’ve provided for future travelers—ensuring they’re well-prepared for their journey. It was a pleasure having you on this safari, and we look forward to welcoming you on another adventure in the future! Safe travels. Warm regards, Clara

    Good option for solo travelers

    The trip is value for money and satisfactory. And the only one for shared solo travelers I found. Perfect Wilderness was excellent in communication. Betty and Everline helped me plan every little detail and answered each of my questions promptly. The accommodations were mixed but mostly basic. You get what you paid for. Be prepared for some delays, change of plans, etc. But overall, I was happy with them and will recommend them to solo travelers.

    Response from the operator: Hi Thank you for your rating and an impressive general experience with our staff and product. We're honored to serve you. Best Victor

    Wonderful Trip

    After having to delay for a year due to COVID, we finally went on our safari in September 2021. It was an incredible experience. The highlights were the amazing animals, the beautiful landscapes, and the friendly and welcoming people. Our guides, Sam in Kenya, and Allen in Tanzania were both very knowledgeable and added greatly to our experience. We loved our accommodations, both the lodges and the tent camps. We added three days at the beach in Zanzibar to the end of our safari. It was a great way to relax after a busy safari. Luis was our tour designer. He was extremely helpful and communicated with us in a timely manner during the planning process.

    Response from the operator: Hello , Thank you for leaving us this wonderful review. We are delighted to read that you had an amazing 8 day safari with us after along waiting. Our back office staff ensures trip planning is so easy and seamless. Our guides Sammy & Allen have a wide experience in the industry and go above and beyond to turn moments into lasting memories for our clients. We would like to have you again in future as we explore other destinations. Thank you So much.

    9 day Kenya/Tanzania safari tour

    My friend and I just completed this safari tour starting in Nairobi, then to Masai Mara (with hot air balloon - a must!), Lake Nakuru (see the rare rhinos here), Amboseli (jumbo elephants!), Serengeti/Ngorongoro crater, ending in Arusha. Big thanks to our awesome Kenyan guides Kikitu (Masai Mara), Simon (Hot air balloon), Nathan (Nakuru/Amboseli) and our Tanzanian guide Elly and cook Freddy. Hot air balloon pilot Gena and his wife were lovely also! Everyone was super kind and polite. The accommodations were reasonable (it does get a bit cold overnight in Serengeti)... and there was always too much food! :) Overall, our first Africa/safari trip went as smooth as can be expected. Would recommend to others!

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for leaving us this wonderful review and recommending us to the TripAdvisor readers. We are delighted that you had an amazing safari with us and our guides contributed to this. This safari to prime wilderness areas gives you an exceptional experience in the wild due to the abundant and breathtaking natural beauty. An extra special touch and one of the ways to uncover the panoramic beauty is through hot-air balloon . We invite you for another safari in future!

    8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.

    How much does 8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi take?

    +

    Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.

    Is 8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Nairobi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Nairobi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Nairobi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi?

    +

    Is 8 Days Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari from Nairobi wheelchair or stroller accessible?
