Frequently asked

Planning this itinerary

Is 6 days worthwhile for two countries?

Yes, this route uses fly-in transfers specifically to maximize wildlife time despite the short overall length — it won't replace a longer safari, but it's a genuine introduction to both ecosystems.

Can this be used as a stopover extension?

Yes, it's frequently booked as an add-on for travelers already routing through Nairobi en route elsewhere.
