Amazing Safari Trip of a Life Time
We have recently returned home from our amazing safari trip, and what a trip it was! We managed to see the big 5 and so much more, all thanks to our brilliant guides. A massive shout out to the one and only Castro, once again a massive thank you to you and what a guy you are we will always remember you and hopefully see you again soon in the future! Thank you to Edward our guide in Masai Mara who was brilliant at spotting cheetahs. A big thank you to all of the staff at Misako Mara Migration Camp we loved staying here and we really did not want to leave, when we say we felt like a family here we really meant that, all because of how welcoming and kind the staff are and the food was delicious 😋. We would highly recommend staying at Safari Haven the room was luxurious with good food. Unfortunately we did not have a good stay at Summit Safari Lodge, the food was not great and the staff only understood very little English. Overall we had a fantastic experience and we would highly recommend booking with Colours Africa Tours thank you for making our experience of a lifetime possible. From Jack and Megan 💝💗

A safari experience we will never forget!
My partner and I did a 12-day private safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Colours Africa. This was my second trip with Colours Africa, and once again we had a wonderful experience. The trip was well organized, the accommodations were comfortable and well selected, and Jemesina was very helpful in finalizing the itinerary. In Kenya, Mr. Vincent was our guide. We visited Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Buffalo Springs and Amboseli. The lakes were beautiful, and we saw a great variety of birds throughout the safari. In Buffalo Springs, wildlife density was lower than in some other parks, but we still had great sightings, including a leopard. Most importantly, I went to the Samburu region hoping to see the Samburu Five, and I was very happy that we managed to see them. Amboseli gave us some of our most memorable moments in Kenya — especially the large elephant herds moving across the landscape surrounded by egrets. Tanzania was the highlight of the trip, and a lot of credit goes to Mr. Norton, our guide. His communication, explanations and knowledge really added to the experience. Tarangire was great as well, with many elephants and eland. The Serengeti was unforgettable. We were incredibly lucky to witness the Great Migration river crossing twice, see a crocodile kill, and have excellent sightings of lions, leopards and cheetahs. Ngorongoro Crater is spectacular, although we personally enjoyed it less because of how crowded it was with safari vehicles. Overall, an unforgettable and very comfortable safari. After travelling with Colours Africa for the second time, I would happily recommend them again.

Exceptional 10-Day East Africa Safari with Colours Africa!
We had an unforgettable 10-day safari experience with Colours Africa! From start to finish, the hospitality and organization were top-notch. The team took complete care of us, seamlessly picking us up from Nairobi airport at the start of our journey and dropping us back off after the trip. Our itinerary covered an incredible lineup of parks—Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Amboseli. Every single stop was breathtaking. The accommodations chosen for us were wonderful, and the food throughout the trip was delicious and refreshing after long days on drive. A huge special mention to our tour guides and drivers, Dickson and Ezekiel—each one was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and experienced. They knew the parks inside out and made sure we had the best possible wildlife sightings while keeping us comfortable throughout the journey. If you are planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania, I highly recommend booking with Colours Africa. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8 Days Kenya and Tanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 8 Days Kenya and Tanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $2800 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 Kenya and Tanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour 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 Kenya and Tanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8 Days Kenya and Tanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 8 Days Kenya and Tanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour 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 Kenya and Tanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour?
+
Around 10 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 Kenya and Tanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour 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 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, 1 Day trip to Hells Gate and optional Lake Naivasha From Nairobi, Nairobi Masai village Day Tour Experience. 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.
