Safari Update Travels
Kenya & Tanzania Safaris, Designed Around You
Safari Update Travels is a Nairobi based, TRA registered tour operator. Since 2016, we've been building tailor made Kenya safari and Tanzania safari itineraries, planned by a team that knows the parks well enough to route your trip around where the wildlife actually is.
Where to go
Kenya & Tanzania safari destinations
Each park has its own season. The Maasai Mara peaks with the Great Migration from July to October. Amboseli offers elephant sightings against Kilimanjaro almost year round. The Serengeti carries that same migration deeper into Tanzania. We track these patterns closely so your Kenya safari lands you in the right place at the right time.
Combined safaris
Want Both Countries? Most Travellers Do.
The Maasai Mara and Serengeti are one ecosystem split by a border. We route combined Kenya and Tanzania safaris to follow the Great Migration across both, no backtracking.

What Actually Makes the Difference
A Kenya safari is about more than visiting famous parks and going on game drives. The planning, timing, choice of destinations, accommodation and knowledge of the area all contribute to the experience.
Wildlife is unpredictable, which is why we do not treat every Kenya safari as a fixed schedule. Our guides use their knowledge of the parks, seasonal conditions and current sightings to make practical decisions while you are in the field.
- ✦ Routes can be adjusted based on current wildlife sightings and conditions
- ✦ More flexibility when an exceptional wildlife encounter is taking place
- ✦ Experienced guides with knowledge of different parks and seasons
- ✦ Itineraries designed to give you more meaningful time in the field
- ✦ Routes planned to balance game drive time, transfers and rest
