Which country is best for a first Africa safari trip?
For a first Africa safari trip built around big game on open plains, choose Kenya or Tanzania. If mountain gorillas are your main reason for travelling, choose Uganda or Rwanda.
Kenya suits short trips, because the Masai Mara is a day’s drive or a short flight from Nairobi. Tanzania’s northern circuit links the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Rwanda is the quicker gorilla option; Uganda costs less and adds chimpanzees and savannah parks.
How many days do East Africa safari tours need?
Most East Africa safari tours need between three and nine days. Three days covers the Masai Mara alone; five to seven days covers two or three Kenyan parks; nine days allows Kenya and Tanzania together.
Road transfers shape the plan. Nairobi to the Masai Mara takes about five to six hours by road, so adding a night often improves a trip more than adding a park.
When is the best time for safari trips to Africa?
The best time for safari trips to Africa’s eastern parks is the dry season, from June to October and again in January and February. Grass is shorter and animals gather near water.
The wildebeest migration follows its own calendar. The herds are generally in the southern Serengeti from December to March and in the northern Serengeti and Masai Mara from July to October. Mara camps fill early for those months.
What permits and documents do you need?
Most visitors to Kenya need an Electronic Travel Authorisation, applied for only on the official site, etakenya.go.ke. Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda have their own entry rules, so check each one for your nationality.
Gorilla trekking needs a permit. At the time of writing (November 2026), published permits for foreign visitors range from USD 800 in Uganda to USD 1,500 in Rwanda. Confirm with the Uganda Wildlife Authority or the Rwanda Development Board before booking. Trekkers must be at least 15.

Frequently asked questions
Which African safari tours does Ramja Safaris offer?
Ramja Safaris offers guided African safari tours of 3 to 9 days in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. They range from three-day Masai Mara trips to a nine-day Kenya and Tanzania safari and gorilla and chimpanzee itineraries.
How much does a safari cost?
It depends on your dates, group size, vehicle and lodge level, so we do not publish fixed prices. Request a quote and we will price the itinerary for your trip.
Can I combine two countries in one trip?
Yes. Our nine-day itinerary combines Kenya and Tanzania, and our eight-day great apes safari combines Rwanda and Uganda. Other combinations can be planned on request.
Is a Land Cruiser or a minivan better?
Both have pop-up roofs for game viewing. A 4×4 Land Cruiser is more comfortable on rough or wet roads, while a minivan costs less and suits dry-season trips on the main Kenyan circuit.
Are wildlife sightings guaranteed?
No. Animals move freely and no operator can promise a sighting. Choosing the right parks and season, and allowing enough nights in each, gives you a realistic chance of seeing what you came for.
