Best Kenya–Tanzania Safari Itineraries (10–14 Days)
Planning a safari across two countries is a dream for many travelers — and with the right itinerary, a Kenya–Tanzania safari becomes the ultimate African adventure. Combining Kenya’s iconic wildlife hotspots with Tanzania’s vast wilderness creates a journey that is richer, more diverse, and far more immersive than a single-country safari.
At Wildbud Safaris, we specialize in long, well-paced Kenya–Tanzania safari tours, designed for travelers who want depth, comfort, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

✔ Multiple nights in key parks
✔ Unhurried game drives
✔ Scenic travel days
✔ Better wildlife sightings

This duration is ideal for first-time Africa travelers and seasoned safari lovers alike.
