How does a group joining safari work?

You book your seat and are picked up in Nairobi on the departure morning. You share the vehicle and guide with travellers from other countries and stay in the same camp, but you have your own tent or room. Itineraries are fixed, so changes are limited.

Which group joining safaris do you run?

Our most popular is the 3-day Masai Mara group joining safari, which departs daily. We also offer shared seats on the 6-day Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli safari, the 7-day budget safari and the 10-day Kenya–Tanzania camping safari.

Tips for a group joining safari

Book a Land Cruiser departure in the rainy months, ask whether you will have a guaranteed window seat, pack light in a soft bag, and confirm whether park fees are included in the quote.
