Combined Safaris
Thrill into unforgettable Combined Safaris
Combine countries and ecosystems in a single trip to see more animals, landscapes and cultures without repeating long-haul flights. A combined safari (for example Kenya + Tanzania or Uganda + Rwanda) gives you the best of each destination: river-crossing drama and wide-open plains, rainforests and primate encounters, crater lakes and island beaches all carefully stitched into a single, unforgettable journey.
Best multi-country combos
Kenya + Tanzania – The Migration & Classic Northern Circuit
Perfect for first-time safari-goers who want the Great Migration, big-cat action and the Serengeti/Ngorongoro highlights. Expect Masai Mara (Kenya) and Serengeti/Ngorongoro (Tanzania) game drives, optional balloon safaris, and a mix of luxury tented camps and lodges. Time your trip June–October for the highest chance of dramatic river crossings and large herds.
Uganda + Rwanda – The Primate & Culture Combo
Tailor-made for primate lovers: track mountain gorillas in Volcanoes (Rwanda) or Bwindi/Mgahinga (Uganda) and add chimp trekking in Kibale (Uganda) or Nyungwe (Rwanda). This combo pairs intimate rainforest encounters with cultural visits and scenic drives through highland landscapes. Reserve gorilla permits well in advance they’re limited and in high demand.
Tanzania + Zanzibar – Safari + Island Romance
Combine mainland safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) with beach time on Zanzibar or Pemba. This is a classic “wildlife then unwind” journey – perfect for couples or families who want both adventure and relaxation.

What to expect on a combined safari
Transfers: Combinations usually mix road transfers with short regional flights to save time. Road travel shows rural life; flights maximise game time.
Accommodation: Options range from budget safari lodges to luxury tented camps. For multi-country trips choose a mix (2–3 nights per key park) so you don’t feel rushed.
Guides & permits: Wildlife drives use experienced local guides. Primate experiences (gorilla/chimp) require official permits book these months ahead.
Timing: when to visit for the highlights
Great Migration (Kenya/Tanzania): Northern Serengeti & Masai Mara activity peaks roughly June – October for river crossings; December – March sees herds in southern Serengeti. Exact timing shifts with rainfall flexible itineraries improve your chances.
Gorilla trekking: Year-round possibilities in Rwanda and Uganda, but dry seasons (June–Sept, Dec–Feb) usually make treks easier. Book permits early.
Responsible travel & community impact
Combined safaris can generate significant conservation revenue, but they also bring challenges: habitat pressure, visitor routing and local rights issues.
For example, protected areas such as Ngorongoro carry complex social and conservation dynamics choose operators that work with local communities, pay fair fees and support anti-poaching and community projects.
Always ask your operator about community benefits and conservation contributions.
Practical planning checklist
Book early
Gorilla permits and migration-season slots fill fast – secure permits and key lodges 6–12 months ahead for peak windows.
Visas & health
Check visa rules for each country; carry yellow fever vaccination proof where required and consult your doctor about malaria prophylaxis and routine vaccinations.
Packing
Neutral, lightweight layers for daytime; warm jacket for early mornings; good walking shoes for forest treks; camera with telephoto lens, binoculars, power bank, and a small daypack.
Money & documents
Carry copies of permits, insurance, passport, and USD cash for tips and park fees where card machines aren’t available.
Pricing & value
Combined safaris add logistics (cross-border transfers, internal flights, extra park fees), but they deliver major value by multiplying experiences in a single trip.
Gorilla permits represent a notable share of cost (they fund conservation) – confirm how permits, park fees and local taxes are handled in your quote.
