Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about planning your African safari adventure

The best time for an East African safari is during the dry seasons: June to October and January to February. These months offer excellent wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources. The Great Migration in Kenya's Masai Mara typically occurs from July to October. However, the "green season" (March-May, November) offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and lower rates.

We recommend consulting your doctor 6-8 weeks before travel. Common requirements include:

  • Yellow Fever – Required for Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda
  • Hepatitis A & B – Recommended
  • Typhoid – Recommended
  • Malaria Prophylaxis – Highly recommended for most safari areas

We'll provide detailed health advice specific to your itinerary.

Absolutely! Family safaris are incredibly rewarding. We recommend:

  • Children 6 years and older for standard game drives
  • Children 12 years and older for gorilla trekking
  • Private vehicles for families with young children

Many lodges offer child-friendly activities, junior ranger programs, and family suites. We'll customize your safari to ensure everyone has an amazing experience.

Essential safari packing list:

  • Clothing: Neutral colors (khaki, olive, tan), layers for cool mornings
  • Footwear: Comfortable closed shoes, sandals for lodge
  • Gear: Binoculars, camera with zoom lens, sunglasses
  • Protection: Sunscreen, insect repellent, wide-brimmed hat
  • Documents: Passport, travel insurance, copies of bookings
