Nothing defines an African safari more than the thrill of a game drive—those early golden hours when the savannah awakens, or the dramatic evenings when predators begin to prowl. In Tanzania and Kenya, game drives offer unmatched wildlife encounters, spectacular scenery, and the true essence of East Africa’s wilderness.
Game drives in Tanzania and Kenya deliver some of the richest wildlife experiences on the continent. Expect:
Close encounters with lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and more
Birds of prey, colorful savannah species, and seasonal migratory herds
Endless landscapes—from Serengeti’s boundless plains to Amboseli’s elephant-studded swamps
The excitement of following animal tracks with a skilled guide
Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that illuminate the savannah in warm, cinematic hues
In Tanzania, game drives might take you through the Ngorongoro Crater or Tarangire’s baobab valleys. In Kenya, the Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo offer dramatic backdrops and exceptional predator sightings. Each drive feels different—no two days on safari are ever the same.
Game drives operate year-round, but the best wildlife visibility is during the Dry Season (June–October) when animals cluster around water sources.
For lush landscapes and fewer crowds, the Green Season (November–May) offers spectacular photography, abundant birdlife, and the calving season in Tanzania’s southern Serengeti (Jan–March).
