Overview

A package designed to feel easy, premium, and well-paced

Everything you need at a glance — from who this package suits best to how the stay, pacing, and routing feel on the ground.

This 10-night dual-country journey is one of the greatest wildlife adventures you can take — beginning with the dramatic scenery and culture of Cape Town before venturing deep into African bush on private game drives in Kruger National Park, and culminating in the legendary Masai Mara in Kenya.

Travel July through October for the best chance to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration — over a million animals crossing the Mara River in one of nature's most dramatic spectacles. The rest of the year offers equally rewarding year-round Big Five sightings. Breakfasts included throughout; pricing is tailored to group size, lodge grade, and season.

FAQs

Questions travelers usually ask before booking

When is the best time to see the Great Migration in Masai Mara?

The Great Wildebeest Migration typically reaches the Masai Mara between July and October, with river crossings most frequent in August and September. However, Big Five sightings are excellent year-round in the Mara.

Do Indian passport holders need a visa for South Africa and Kenya?

South Africa: Indian passport holders require a visa (tourist visa, apply in advance). Kenya: An e-Visa (ETA) is available online. We assist with documentation guidance for both countries.

Is malaria medication required?

Yes. Both Kruger (South Africa) and Masai Mara (Kenya) are malaria zones. Consult your physician for antimalarial medication at least 2 weeks before departure. Insect repellent and long sleeves at dusk are also recommended.

Can this package be split into South Africa only or Kenya only?

Absolutely. We can design a South Africa-only package (Cape Town + Kruger) or a Kenya-only package (Nairobi + Masai Mara) to suit your budget and schedule. Contact us for a custom quote.
