Planning Your Safari

The dry season (July–October) is ideal for game viewing, with clear skies and concentrated wildlife, especially during the Great Migration in the Serengeti. For fewer crowds and lower rates, consider the Quiet Season (November–March), offering a more exclusive experience with pleasant 70-75°F weather.

Yellow fever vaccination is required for Kenya, and malaria prophylaxis is recommended across the region. Visas vary—Kenya requires an Electronic Travel Authorisation, Tanzania offers visas on arrival, and Rwanda simplifies entry with on-arrival options. We’ll assist with all arrangements for a seamless trip.

Pack neutral-colored clothing (khaki, olive, tan) for blending in, layers for chilly mornings, and comfortable closed shoes for walking safaris. Soft bags are best due to a 15kg weight limit for internal flights. We provide a detailed packing guide upon booking.

Start with a consultation via phone, email, or Zoom to customize your itinerary. After tailoring your trip, we’ll confirm all details and secure your booking—simple, personalized, and hassle-free.
