Kenya or Tanzania: Which is Best for Safari?
Location & Landscape
Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s most iconic landscapes, making it an unrivaled safari destination. From the vast Serengeti plains, famous for the Great Migration, to the dramatic Ngorongoro Crater, where wildlife thrives in a natural amphitheater, Tanzania offers breathtaking scenery at every turn. With I Artist Adventure, you'll explore untouched wilderness areas, from the baobab-dotted Tarangire National Park to the remote beauty of Ruaha and Selous. Kenya also boasts diverse landscapes, including the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Samburu. However, if you're looking for a more immersive and less crowded safari experience, Tanzania’s vast national parks and game reserves provide unparalleled opportunities for exclusive game viewing.Costs & Your Budget
When planning a safari, costs can vary depending on location, accommodation, and the type of experience you seek. Kenya offers a range of budget and mid-range options, while Tanzania is known for its premium safari experiences. At I Artist Adventure, we believe in providing authentic, high-quality safaris that offer great value for money. Our customized itineraries cater to different budgets while ensuring you get the best possible wildlife encounters and cultural experiences.Accommodation
Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s most luxurious safari lodges and tented camps. Whether you want to experience a high-end lodge overlooking the Serengeti or a cozy, eco-friendly camp in the heart of Tarangire, I Artist Adventure offers accommodations that blend comfort with adventure. Our carefully selected lodges ensure you stay close to nature while enjoying world-class hospitality. While Kenya also has excellent accommodations, Tanzania’s secluded lodges provide a more exclusive and intimate safari experience, perfect for travelers seeking tranquility and connection with nature.Game Viewing
Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Kenya’s Maasai Mara share the spectacle of the Great Migration, but Tanzania has the upper hand in sheer size and diversity. The Serengeti hosts the migration for most of the year, making it the best destination to witness this natural wonder. Beyond the Serengeti, Tanzania offers diverse wildlife encounters. The Ngorongoro Crater is a haven for the Big Five, while Tarangire is famous for its large elephant herds. Ruaha and Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous) provide off-the-beaten-path experiences with exceptional predator sightings. With I Artist Adventure, our expert guides ensure you have front-row seats to some of the most thrilling wildlife moments in Africa.Safari Activities
A safari in Tanzania isn’t just about game drives. With I Artist Adventure, you can enjoy a variety of unique activities, including:- Walking safaris in Ruaha and Nyerere National Park.
- Hot air balloon safaris over the Serengeti.
- Cultural tours to Maasai and Hadzabe villages.

When to Go
Tanzania is a year-round safari destination, with each season offering unique wildlife experiences. The dry season (June to October) is ideal for game viewing, while the green season (November to May) provides lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and excellent birdwatching opportunities. For the Great Migration, the best time to visit depends on which stage you want to witness. I Artist Adventure can help you plan your safari based on your preferred wildlife spectacle, whether it’s the dramatic river crossings or the calving season in the Southern Serengeti.Best Suited For?
Tanzania is ideal for travelers seeking an immersive, exclusive, and diverse safari experience. Whether you're a honeymooner looking for a romantic escape, a wildlife enthusiast eager for intimate game encounters, or a family seeking an unforgettable adventure, I Artist Adventure crafts tailor-made safaris to suit your interests. Kenya is a great choice for first-time safari-goers or those looking for shorter, budget-friendly trips. However, if you crave a more authentic and expansive safari, Tanzania should be at the top of your list.Combines Best With?
