Kenya & Tanzania

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Kenya and Tanzania together form East Africa's premier safari destination, home to some of the continent's most iconic wildlife reserves, including the Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Amboseli, and Ngorongoro Crater. The region is world-famous for the Great Migration, where over a million wildebeest and zebra move cyclically across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Beyond wildlife, travellers are drawn to Mount Kilimanjaro — Africa's highest peak — the Swahili coast, Zanzibar's beaches, and rich Maasai cultural heritage. It's a destination that suits both adventure seekers and those chasing one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences on the planet.

Best of East Africa — Self-Launched: Nairobi to Zanzibar on a Backpacker Budget

A 20-day independently booked version of Intrepid's "Best of East Africa" — Nairobi to Stone Town via the Rift Valley lakes, the Maasai Mara, Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, the Usambara Mountains and Zanzibar. Instead of a fully guided overland truck with cooks and camp crews, you piece it together with public shuttles, matatus, buses and the ferry, join shared 4WD game drives through local operators booked direct or via GetYourGuide, and sleep in hostels, guesthouses and campsite bandas. Wildlife highlights stay the same: two nights in the Mara, crater-floor game drives, Serengeti sunrises and a spice-farm detour on Zanzibar. Costs are rough per-person estimates at backpacker/mid-range-budget rates in GBP and exclude international flights, visas and insurance.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Kenya & Tanzania yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
