Frequent asked questions

What is the best time to go on an East African safari?

The best time for an East African safari depends on the country and wildlife you want to see. Generally, the dry season is ideal, as animals congregate near water sources and are easier to spot. In Kenya and Tanzania, this occurs between June and October, while Uganda and Rwanda also have dry periods from December to February. The Great Migration in the Serengeti, Tanzania, peaks between July and September, offering spectacular wildlife spectacles. However, the wet season, from March to May, brings lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and active birdlife, making it perfect for photographers and nature enthusiasts who enjoy green scenery and less crowded parks.

Which countries are best for an East African safari?

East Africa is home to some of the world’s most famous safari destinations, including Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda. Kenya boasts the Maasai Mara, renowned for the Big Five and annual wildebeest migration. Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater offer vast plains and extraordinary wildlife diversity. Uganda and Rwanda are best for primate safaris, including gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park and chimpanzee tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Each country offers unique experiences, landscapes, and wildlife. Choosing the right country depends on your interests, budget, and season, but combining multiple destinations in one trip allows travellers to experience diverse ecosystems, wildlife encounters, and cultural insights across East Africa.

What should I pack for an East African safari?

Packing for an East African safari requires preparation for variable climates and activities. Essential items include lightweight, neutral-colored clothing for daytime game drives, warm layers for early morning or high-altitude excursions, and a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for sun protection. Comfortable hiking shoes or boots are recommended for walking safaris, while rain gear may be needed in wet seasons. Binoculars, a camera with zoom lens, and insect repellent enhance wildlife viewing. Basic personal items, medications, and a reusable water bottle are important for convenience. Avoid bright colours, as they may disturb wildlife, and pack minimally to fit into safari vehicle storage. Proper preparation ensures comfort, safety, and a memorable safari experience.

We travel through Nairobi annually and rely on David and his team to provide our transportation. His vehicles are comfortable and well maintained.

We had such a good experience with David and Moses on our Kilimanjaro trip that we came back and sought their assistance for a self drive we did across Kenya and Uganda.
