Essential Information

Best time to visit

Choosing the right time for your safari can make a big difference. Here’s a quick overview of the best months for various experiences:

  • Great Migration: Best viewed from June to October.
  • Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking: Year-round, but dry season (December to February, June to September) is optimal.
  • Big Five Safaris: Available year-round, with peak wildlife viewing from June to September in most regions.
  • Fly-in Safaris: Ideal in the dry season when the roads are harder to navigate by car.

A safari is a thrilling experience that offers the chance to connect with nature and wildlife. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Daily Game Drives: Most safaris include morning and afternoon game drives, when wildlife is most active. Some private safaris also offer night drives for nocturnal animal sightings.
  • Bush Walks and Cultural Visits: In addition to wildlife, many safari packages include walking tours, where you’ll explore the bush on foot with a guide. Cultural experiences, such as visiting local Maasai or Samburu communities, can also be arranged.
  • Wildlife Sightings: While wildlife sightings can’t be guaranteed, Africa’s best national parks offer incredible opportunities to see lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and more in their natural habitats.

To ensure your safari experience is comfortable and enjoyable, here are a few essentials to bring:

  • Lightweight, Neutral Clothing: Opt for earth-toned clothing to blend into the environment and avoid attracting insects.
  • Binoculars and Camera: Capture every thrilling wildlife moment with a good camera and use binoculars to spot animals from afar.
  • Sun Protection: Don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat to shield you from the African sun.
  • Comfortable Footwear: Sturdy walking shoes or boots are essential for walking safaris and bush treks.

We believe in responsible tourism. Our safaris support conservation initiatives, including anti-poaching efforts and wildlife protection programs. We also work closely with local communities to promote sustainable tourism that benefits both people and nature.

  • Conservation Contributions: A portion of your safari cost goes toward conservation projects that help protect Africa’s wildlife.
  • Cultural Exchange: Learn about the rich cultures and traditions of indigenous African communities through visits to villages and engagement with local artisans.
