Frequently Asked Questions

What types of safaris do you offer in Kenya?

Pita Safaris offers a wide range of Kenya safari packages — from budget camping safaris and midrange lodge tours to luxury private safaris. Top destinations include Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and Tsavo National Parks.
When is the best time to go on safari in Kenya?

The best time is from June to October, during the dry season, which also coincides with the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Masai Mara. However, Kenya offers incredible wildlife viewing all year round.
Can I book an affordable Kenya safari?

Absolutely! Our budget safaris are designed for backpackers, couples, and small groups seeking an authentic Kenyan experience without breaking the bank.
Why is the Masai Mara so famous?

The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya’s most iconic safari destination, renowned for its abundant wildlife, the Big Five, and the world-famous Great Migration.
When can I witness the Great Migration in the Masai Mara?

The migration typically occurs from July to October, when millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles cross the Mara River from Tanzania’s Serengeti — one of nature’s greatest spectacles.
Can I combine Kenya and Tanzania in one safari?

Yes! Pita Safaris specializes in cross-border East Africa safaris, linking legendary destinations such as Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara.
Do I need separate visas for Kenya and Tanzania?

Yes. Each country requires a separate visa. Alternatively, travelers visiting Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda can apply for the East Africa Tourist Visa (EATV) — valid for 90 days and allowing multiple entries across the three countries.
Which are the best safari parks in Tanzania?

Tanzania is home to Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara. Many visitors also extend their trip with a relaxing Zanzibar beach holiday.

How difficult is gorilla trekking?

Gorilla trekking can take 2–6 hours depending on the group’s location, but it’s manageable for most visitors with moderate fitness. The experience of standing face-to-face with a mountain gorilla in its natural habitat is absolutely worth it!
