Frequently asked

Planning this itinerary

Is crossing the Kenya-Tanzania border mid-safari complicated?

No, our team handles all border logistics and permits; the crossing itself typically adds a half-day of travel.

What if the herds haven't reached the river yet?

Your guide continuously monitors herd position and can adjust the border-crossing timing within your itinerary to maximize your odds.
