      Do sleeping bags and mats are included in this tour? Or if they're available to buy/rent and if so how much that would cost?

    • S

      Samuel

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      Do you have questions about any required Visas and vaccines for all the countries we will be visiting as US citizens? We would like a comprehensive list so we can get the required shots and apply for the correct paperwork.

    • S

      Samuel

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      We're currently looking at dates between August and September but the main focus of this trip is to experience the great animal migrations. Is this timeline the best opportunity for us to witness this or do you have an alternate timeframe you would recommend?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2026

      Our trips do not include the cost of international airfare, nor do we book flights for US travellers, which allows our travellers to join the adventure from their desired location. Since we don't book flights for our travellers, we're not really privy to information on what sort of deals they get on their flights or which airlines they're flying with.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2026

      Pre/Post Accommodation Quotes:
      Hillpark Hotel - Twin (Breakfast Included) - $60.00 per person, per night
      Mizingani Seafront Hotel - Twin - $107.50 per person, per night

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2026

      Sleeping bag hire - sleeping bags are not included in the tour and can be hired. Need at lest 14 days notice prior to the start of the tour to request these. - $30 USD per person

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2026

      I have attached the PDF of our itinerary and full trip notes - there is a lot of great information and resources in here for items like vaccinations and visas.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2026

      The Great Migration is a year-round, continuous cycle of over two million wildebeest and zebras traveling across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. While animals are always moving, the most dramatic events—such as river crossings and calving—happen in specific months. August to October is famous for the Mara River Crossings; the iconic and thrilling crossings take place as the mega-herds move into Kenya's Maasai Mara reserve! So I would say August/September is a great time for the tour in order to experience a portion of the Great Migration.

    Are there any age restrictions for the Best of East Africa tour? My husband and I are in our late 70s and wondering about the tour's suitability.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025

      This trip is designed for travelers in good health who are able to manage basic overland travel conditions, including long driving days and camping. While there isn't a strict upper age limit, we do recommend that travelers are comfortable with moderate activity levels and the pace of the itinerary. It's important to consider the length of the trip, daily travel times (some days up to 10 hours), and physical activity involved, such as game drives, walking at camps, and occasional hiking. We recommend consulting your doctor before booking to ensure you are comfortable with overland travel.

    Donna

    Asked on June 23rd, 2024

    Do you have upgraded accommodations for this tour?

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2024

      We are not able to upgrade accommodation for this itinerary however if you wish a single supplement can be arranged for an additional charge. In most locations we stay in simple tourist-class hotels (i.e. 2-3 stars), plus on many trips you'll also get to experience a night with a local family on a homestay. Keep in mind that if we are staying in dormitory accommodation, you may have to share with other passengers or be split into same-sex rooms with canvas dome tents with camping mattresses supplied.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2024

      Additionally there may be occasional night stop when we stay on the grounds of a hotel or at a campsite, which may also have rooms/cabins available. In this case, there may be a choice of camping or upgrading to a room. Rooms cost approximately USD 40-100 per room per night for a twin room and cannot be pre-booked. Standards of these rooms vary greatly, and we recommend viewing the room before purchasing the night's accommodation

      Traveler•Written September 2022

      Would it be set up by someone (full service) or it have to be set up by travellers themselves?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2022

      At any point on the trip, if the group is staying at a campsite with no permanent tented facilities, the tents will be set up by Intrepid's local team. Travelers are not expected to set up their tents themselves.
