Getting to Kenya and Tanzania from India

Airline routes and timings change, so check current schedules with the airline before you book.

Kenya Airways flies nonstop Mumbai – Nairobi (about 6 hours); Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai connect via Mumbai, Addis Ababa (Ethiopian), Doha (Qatar) or Dubai (Emirates). We meet every guest at the airport with a named sign and your guide, and we can book internal flights (Nairobi–Mara, Nairobi–Kilimanjaro, Arusha–Serengeti, Nairobi–Diani, Zanzibar) as part of your itinerary.

Entry requirements for Indian passport holders

Kenya: apply online for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) at etakenya.go.ke at least two weeks before you fly (processing takes about three working days). Visitors from outside Africa also need Kenya’s inbound travel health insurance. Tanzania: visa online at visa.immigration.go.tz or on arrival. Since 1 October 2026, government inbound travel insurance is compulsory (US$44 per adult), from NIC for the mainland or ZIC for Zanzibar. A yellow fever certificate is required if you arrive from Kenya. Uganda: e-visa (US$50). Rwanda: visa online or on arrival (US$50). The East Africa Tourist Visa (US$100) covers Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. Passport: valid for six months, with blank pages. Rules change, so confirm on the official portals before you travel. We send a personal entry checklist with every confirmed booking.

Indian citizens need a Kenya eTA before departure and a Tanzanian visa, online or on arrival (US$50 single entry for most nationalities). Kenya has a large Indian-Kenyan community, so vegetarian, Jain and Indian meals are easy to arrange in Nairobi and at many lodges.

When to go: matching the seasons to Indian holidays

Diwali and the October–November holidays fall in prime Mara dry season; summer holidays (May–June) are the green-season bargain window; Christmas–New Year suits Amboseli, Tsavo and the coast. If your dates are fixed, tell us and we will build the best route for that month rather than talk you into another one.
