Do Indians need a visa for Kenya and Tanzania?

Yes. For Kenya, apply online for the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) at etakenya.go.ke – it costs US$30 and usually takes up to 3 days. For Tanzania, apply for the e-visa at visa.immigration.go.tz – US$50 for a single-entry tourist visa, taking about 3 to 10 days. A yellow fever certificate is needed if you travel to Tanzania from Kenya.

When can I see the Great Migration?

The wildebeest migration usually reaches the Masai Mara from July to October, with dramatic river crossings in August and September. January to March is calving season in Tanzania's southern Serengeti.

How many days do I need for a Kenya safari?

4 to 5 nights covers the Masai Mara with Lake Naivasha or Nakuru. With 7 to 8 nights you can add Amboseli, Samburu or a few beach days in Zanzibar.
