    Our 4 Key Strengths:

    When is the best time to travel to Africa?

    Ideally, the dry season is the best time for wildlife viewing in the African bush. During this time, the vegetation dries up, giving safari goers a clearer view of the wildlife. In addition, animals congregate around the water sources, which are in shorter supply during the dry months. In contrast, the wet season is the best time for bird watching in several African countries plus the landscape blossoms from dry plains to lush grasslands so it’s a very beautiful time to visit. The verdant landscape during the wet months attracts thousands of migrating bird species, making it a bird watcher’s paradise. Keep in mind that often during the wet months, the African park roads may become inaccessible so bird watching safaris may need more planning.

    The best time to visit an African country depends on your plans. Some people want to explore the wilderness, while others want to go on cultural and historical adventures. Then there are adrenaline junkies who want to scale Africa’s tallest mountains or white water raft on thrilling rivers

    Our handy table puts together the ideal time to visit some of Africa’s premium safari destinations. It also shows the best time for bird-watching.

    CountryBest time for Wildlife ViewingBest time for Birding
    BotswanaMay to OctoberNovember to April
    KenyaJanuary to February, June to OctoberOctober to February, June, July
    MadagascarApril to OctoberSeptember to December
    NamibiaJuly to OctoberNovember to April
    South AfricaMay to SeptemberSeptember to March
    TanzaniaJuly to OctoberOctober-December, March-May
    UgandaDecember to February, June to AugustMay to September
    ZambiaJune to NovemberOctober to April
    ZimbabweJuly and OctoberOctober to March

    There is a safari priced for just about everybody, but there are major differences in accommodations, services, transportation and food. It’s important that you consider how much “roughing’ it” you’re willing to do before you plan your safari.

    If you are interested in a custom tour for you and your family, this will also affect the price tag. Generally speaking, you would spend $300 US Dollars to $900 US Dollars per person, per day range. You might stay in luxury Camps and Lodges, have full service camping and some domestic flight time.

    If you can pay between $900 and $2500 per person per day, you can stay in small, remote, five-star lodges and luxury plus camps and travel more by plane (it’s less tiring and offers spectacular views!).

    Other factors that up the price are exotic modes of travel, such as by hot air balloon and special cultural experiences such as visiting a bush home, will be more expensive.

    Don’t forget airfare to Africa, which is NOT included in your safari package. 

    The best time to visit Kenya is during the Dry season from late June to October (these are the best wildlife viewing months). The wildebeest migration usually reaches the Masai Mara in August and remains until October when they move back to the Serengeti in Tanzania. Wildlife viewing is good year-round, but this can differ for some parks. See below to learn when to visit which park.

    Visiting Kenya in January

    The height of summer is an excellent time to spot wildlife, both on the ground and in the air. Temperatures are hot but there will be the odd shower to cool things down, while the landscape is lush with long grass from the ‘short rains’ that fall in November and December. Down on the coast, the days are hot and sunny and the sea is at its clearest.

    Visiting Kenya in February

    Another great month for spotting wildlife, both on the ground and in the air. Temperatures remain high and the odd shower may fall, while there should still be long grass covering the landscape from the ‘short rains’ that fall in November and December.

    Visiting Kenya in March

    The weather gets wetter as Kenya approaches the ‘long rains’, but game viewing is still good.

    Visiting Kenya in April

    The ‘long rains’ of April and May can turn the tracks through the parks into quagmires and make the beaches along the Indian Ocean coastline hot and very wet, so this isn’t the best time to travel.

    Visiting Kenya in May

    The ‘long rains’ of April and May can turn the tracks through the parks into quagmires and the beaches along the Indian Ocean coastline hot and very wet, so this isn’t the best time to travel.

    Visiting Kenya in June

    The rains have finished for the most part, although some light showers are still possible, and the nights can be cool at altitude. The long dry season is on the horizon, and while grasses are high, making game harder to spot at times, it is a beautiful time to visit. People start anticipating the arrival of the Great Migration into the Masai Mara.

    Visiting Kenya in July

    The weather is temperate and dry but not too dusty, with occasional showers still possible, making this a good time to visit overall. The first herds arrive into the Masai Mara from Tanzania and peak travel and game viewing season is just around the corner.

    Visiting Kenya in August

    The temperatures are pleasant and it’s mostly dry, making it one of the peak times to visit. Fantastic game viewing can be enjoyed now, with the Great Migration at its height in the Masai Mara providing lots of action at the river crossings as countless wildebeest and zebra gather and cross the Mara and Talek Rivers.

    Visiting Kenya in September

    The weather is generally dry. The game viewing action continues in the Mara, and it is still excellent throughout Kenya for wildlife.

    Visiting Kenya in October

    As the mercury slowly starts to rise, a few showers are possible. However, it’s a lovely time to travel if you want to avoid the crowds but still have excellent game viewing opportunities. The migratory herds are leaving the Mara now, but excellent resident populations remain. All other Kenya destinations are great at this time of year.

    Visiting Kenya in November

    The short rains are starting and the temperature is hotter, but the Mara, along with most other destinations, remains open. However, on the Laikipia Plateau many camps are closed. There is still good game viewing under the heavier skies and activities continue. Crowds dissipate and you can often make the most of some good deals.

    Visiting Kenya in December

    The end of the year can be hot and potentially wet — it’s the middle of the short rains, with some camps closed (particularly in the north) and some open. Where camps are open, wildlife viewing remains very good, with high bird numbers present.

    From witnessing millions of wildebeest, zebra and other antelope traverse the plains of the Serengeti to ascending to the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro or sipping chilled drink on the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar, Tanzania offers travellers some of the most diverse safari experiences in Africa.

    A vibrant and beautiful country with exceptional parks and reserves, Tanzania is blessed with the winning combination of unparalleled game viewing and dazzling tropical beaches. Because Tanzania is so vast (almost 1.5 times the size of Texas), it helps to divide the country’s major holiday destinations into four areas:

    1. Northern Safari Circuit – the most popular Tanzania safari route comprising the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Kilimanjaro.
    2. Tanzania Coast and Islands – the country’s beaches, especially those on islands like Zanzibar, are breath-taking and very accessible.
    3. Southern Tanzania – includes the wonderfully wild and underrated Nyerere (previously Selous) and Ruaha, some of the best-kept Tanzania safari secrets.
    4. Western Tanzania – head to the far-flung corners of Katavi and Mahale for the ultimate off-the-beaten-path Tanzania safaris.

    January

    Experience the natural splendour of Tanzania in all its beautiful, bursting, colourful glory when you visit in January.

    Tanzania’s green season offers luscious, scenic landscapes and once-in-a-lifetime photography opportunities.

    February

    The best time of year to spot abby animals taking their first step on the savannah, February in Tanzania is incredible.

    Bird watching, lush foliage, and cleansing afternoon thunderstorms greet visitors travelling in February.

    March

    An often-overlooked time of year, visiting Tanzania in March offers spectators beautiful birding opportunities and low crowds.

    While occasionally hot and humid, the animals of Tanzania can often be seen out and about with their babies.

    April

    Scenic green landscapes, baby animals, flocks of colorful birds, and low crowds greet travelers visiting Tanzania in April.

    While there may be showers during the day, the abundance of animals makes up for it.

    May

    Tanzania in May is your last chance to see the lush, natural splendor of Tanzania’s National Parks before the dry season.

    Witness beautiful, green forests and wild, grassy plains full of young animals when visiting this time of year.

    June

    One of the best times of year visit, the dry landscapes in June will give visitors many opportunities to see animals.

    With cool, dry weather, opportunities for water are scarce, meaning animals cluster around watering holes.

    July

    Visiting Tanzania in July is the perfect time to experience a safari the way it was meant to be done.

    With the land becoming drier, animals can be spotted congregating near the closest watering holes.

    August

    Right in the middle of the long, dry season, Tanzania’s national parks become washed out – meaning animals are easier to spot.

    A popular time to visit, August in Tanzania is one of the best chances to see animals in all their splendor.

    September

    With better visibility due to the cool, dry weather and shining Sun, September in Tanzania is one of the best times to visit.

    The end of the long dry season, animals are desperate for food, making this the best time to see action.

    October

    Your last chance to experience an authentic safari atmosphere, October is the end of the long dry season in Tanzania.

    Dense clusters of animals, easy driving through parks, and lots of animal action await you in October!

    November

    Come to Tanzania in November to witness nature spring back into life during the short rainy season.

    With the return of the rain to the savannah, the fields, forests, and mountains of Tanzania explode with lush greenery.

    December

    Perfect and clear for photography, December is when thousands of birds return to Tanzania from their annual migration.

    Finish your year off in warmth, comfort, and natural beauty by visiting Tanzania in December.

    Although gorilla trekking in Uganda is considered a year-round activity, the humid rainy seasons and muddy terrain can make it extra challenging and lessen the chances of spotting the gorillas. To make it easier for your client, we recommend traveling during the dry seasons from January to February and June to September.

    The best time to go gorilla trekking in Rwanda is during the dry season between the months of December to March, and June to September. Not only will the terrain be easier to navigate, it will also be much easier to spot gorillas hidden within the bamboo forests. It is important to note, however, that though it may be the dry season, the weather in Rwanda is notoriously unpredictable so advise your clients to pack a raincoat and waterproof hiking gear.

    The African bush and it’s many natural wonders is certainly the highlight of your safari vacation time in Kenya, but your choice of accommodation will further enhance the experience. Thankfully, all the top parks and wildlife conservancies feature an elegant variety of accommodation options to suit anyone, from honeymooners to families. Whether you are looking for something rustic to fully immerse yourself in the bush experience or prefer to retire in an all-out luxurious lodge, Adeli Kenya Safaris has the knowledge to find your perfect Kenya trip accommodation and deliver the most authentic safari experience for you.

    SAFARI ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS:

    There is a huge choice of accommodation in Kenya. Each property is different and, with so much choice, it is easy to get it wrong. Here is a rough guide to the options on offer:

    Mobile Bush Camps: As the name suggests, these are small mobile camps that are set up for a finite number of nights. Usually an overnight bush experience offered by permanent lodges, they can also be part of a longer walking safari. These fully serviced camps are set up for you and have simple dome tents, a small camp bed and a mattress, with bedding provided. Simple, but delicious meals are prepared for you and hot water is brought on demand to wash. There is a long-drop toilet (hole in the ground) in a separate small tent, although some of the larger tents have their own bucket showers at the back.

    Permanent Tented Camps:

    These are classic, East African camps, with only a handful of spacious, stylish, tented rooms. They feature comfortable beds and fine linen, small dressers, soft furnishings and private en-suite facilities. Usually, there is a patio or decking area outside the tent. These camps are typified by great service levels, shared safari vehicles and communal dining in the evening, with drinks (including alcohol) often included in the cost. They are great fun and very flexible.

    Luxury Camps:

    Fine dining, silver service and spa treatments feature heavily, whilst some properties offer private vehicles for game drives. Properties can be a mixture of canvas and permanent structure, but always with elegant and eclectic designs. There are exceptional levels of service, with an emphasis on personal touches and attention to detail.

    Private Ranches: These are usually family homesteads or working ranches that have been converted into luxury accommodation. They offer some of the warmest welcomes in Africa, given the families themselves usually manage the properties and live on site. Again, only a handful of rooms, with a warmth and hospitality you would only find in someone’s home.

    There is usually a wide range of activities on offer, given the surrounding land is owned by the lodge. Therefore, they are very flexible for large groups or families, although individuals and couples are also welcome.

    Private Houses and Villas:

    Perfect for families and large groups who want the privacy and flexibility of enjoying their holiday exactly as they like it. Fully staffed, with private guides and vehicles, these properties can manage wildlife activities and meal times around the group, to ensure everyone is happy. They can be found in both the wildlife areas and along the coast.

    Coastal beach resorts, hotels & AirBnBs: The best places to stay are the small, boutique-style retreats. Often featuring cool Swahili designs, they provide shade from the sun, overlooking palm fringed beaches. Many have pools, which helps when the tide is out. Again, some are better suited for families with a range of activities on offer, whilst others are perfect for a quiet retreat or honeymoon.

    Africa is a safe place to visit on a wildlife safari arranged by Adeli Kenya Safaris. Make sure you find out about the safari agency and the African country you want to visit as much as you can, and once there, follow some common-sense guidelines.

    Here are some general guidelines that will keep you safe in Africa:

    • Avoid travelling alone at night
    • Avoid visiting isolated roads and places
    • Keep your valuables locked in a hotel safe
    • On game drives, always follow your guide’s advice

    Every day on an African safari is an adventure. Each moment is a new experience that’s unique for that single moment in time. No two animals are the same, and animal behavior is always changing. As for the scenery, you’ll experience everything from sweeping savannahs to lush marshlands, dense forests, and arid plains.

    As for what it’s like to actually go on safari, let’s break it down.

    • Most African safaris are multi-day experiences. At massive public parks, such as Masai Mara Natioal Reserve, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo Parks, Serengeti National Park e.t.c, you can do what’s called a day safari (start a little after sunrise and end before sunset), but if an African safari is your dream vacation, this isn’t what you want. Seven to ten days on safari is most common, and that includes two to three locations.
    • You’ll stay at a lodge or camp in the bush. This means you’ll be in a remote location in the African wilderness accessible by car or air. How luxurious your room is, depends on your budget and operator.
    • Every day you’ll go on game drives to see the animals. Most African safaris take you on twice-a-day game drives (3-4 hours in the morning and 3-4 hours in the afternoon). These game drives can happen in open-air or enclosed vehicles (this depends on where you go on safari and your operator). And it’s during these game drives that you leave your camp/lodge to drive around the bush and find animals.
    • It’s an adventure, not a zoo. The animals are not waiting for you. You have to go out and, with the help of your professional/local guide, find the animals.
    • An African safari is all-inclusive: African safaris are not cheap, but the price includes all meals, game drives, guides, room, and board. Often, all drinks (including alcohol for superior luxury hotels) are encompassed in the price as well.

    Absolutely!  A lot of safari lodges welcome younger children (although there are quite a few that do have age restrictions such as only above 6, 8 or even 13 years of age), and you should keep in mind that kids can become restless on long game drives or scared if they see an elephant or lion close by from an open vehicle.

    For younger children the best option is probably a family-friendly safari lodge / tented camp in a malaria-free area of East Africa, where the lodge will provide specific kiddies game drives and activities. 

    Older children can enjoy all the same experiences as the adults, but again we find that larger lodges where there are other kids about tend to be the best choice for most people with families.

    Whatever the age of your kids, you will probably find that you want to mix things up a bit and include a beach or other activities as well as the safari – have a look at our suggestions for family safari holidays to get some ideas.

    For the most part, a full day on safari will start with an early-morning wake-up followed by a game drive that starts at sunrise.

    After a game drive of around 3 hours or so, you will return to the lodge or camp for breakfast and have some free-time to rest, sleep, go on a guided game walk (where offered). 

    The afternoon game drive will head out towards the end of the day, and you will usually return to the lodge after dark if you are staying somewhere that allows this.

    There are some places where the day might start a little later, and you may have an early breakfast at the lodge or camp before heading out for a full day game drive into a park. 

    This trends to be more common in East Africa (particularly if you are with a driver guide) and also in national parks where game drives are not allowed out before dawn or after sundown.

    Top things to do on safari in Uganda

    There are various activities you can engage in while on a safari in Uganda. Some will bring out your adrenaline drive whereas others will require you to sit back and relax while enjoying the experience.

    Gorilla trekking – You can do this is Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable national park, Mgahinga gorilla national park, Rwanda’s Volcanoes national park and Congo’s Virunga national park. This requires you to purchase a gorilla tracking permit before you embark on this hike through the jungles with the help of your ranger guide. You are only allowed 1 hour in the presence of the gorillas once you locate them. Alternatively you can choose a gorilla habituation experience which accords you 4 hours in the presence of the gorillas.

    Chimpanzee trekking – Just like gorilla trekking, chimpanzee trekking is done in various forests in Uganda with the most famous being Budongo forest, Semliki reserve, Kalinzu forest, Kyambura gorge, Kibale forest. In Rwanda, chimpanzee trekking happens in Nyungwe forest where just like gorillas, you are allowed 1 hour with the chimps after locating them while on a chimp trek.

    Game drives – For those interested in the savannah national parks to watch wild animals as they go about their day, then game drives in the custom made safari vehicles is what you want. Your tour guide drives through different game tracks in search of the most sought after animals like Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Giraffes, Buffaloes etc.

    Boat trips – This is on the many lakes and rivers around the country. Sometimes it is for birding, game viewing or sunset cruises. While in the national parks you can take an afternoon boat ride and watch different animals as they come to water and others that are resident there like Crocodiles and Hippos

    Nature walks – In some parks you are allowed to take a nature walk with a ranger guide to learn more about the herbs, shrubs, trees and animals that are in the vicinity.

    Community/Cultural experiences – Uganda is home to over 40 different tribes that have unique languages, foods – or at least a unique way of preparing it, songs and dance, rituals and rites of passage. Taking part in a cultural tour will allow you to interact with the people at close range getting involved in their day to day activities.

    Bird watching – Uganda is home to over 1050 bird species where you are able to sight over 500 species while on a 21-day birding safari. Birding is done in both protected areas and non protected areas, in agricultural areas, wetlands, forests, savannah etc.

    They say, “You can’t please everyone.” Well, “they” surely haven’t been to the astonishing national parks, Wildlife conservancies & sun-kissed white sandy beaches of Kenya- for these parks truly offer something for everyone.

    Kenya is synonymous with the word “#safari.” Perhaps no other place on the planet conjures such a spirit of adventure and romance. The diversity of things to do dazzles all who visit, and viewing the country’s abundant wildlife tops the list.

    Beyond the world-famous safari parks lies a trove of coastal treasures. You can snorkel and dive fish-rich coral reefs, relax on pearly beaches, experience the melting pot of cultures and cuisines in #Mombasa, #Malindi, #Watamu, #Kilifi, #Diani & #Lamu and explore tropical islands steeped in Swahili history.

    To experience the romance of Kenya‘s colorful colonial history captured in the film #OutOfAfrica, head to Nairobi. This bustling capital is the gateway to one of the world’s most evocative and exciting travel destinations.

    1. NAIROBI (AFRICA’S SAFARI CAPITAL & GREEN CITY IN THE SUN):

    Kenya‘s capital and largest city, Nairobi is legendary for its colorful colonial history. It was once the capital of British East Africa, luring settlers who came here to stake their fortune in the coffee and tea industries. Today, you can explore the city’s famous historic sites, as well as some excellent wildlife-related attractions.

    The #NairobiNationalMuseum is a great one-stop spot to see exhibits on Kenya‘s history, nature, culture, and contemporary art. Green thumbs will also enjoy the botanic gardens on the grounds. Another popular tourist attraction is the #KarenBlixenMuseum, the restored residence of the famous Danish author of the book Out of Africa, also known by her pen name, Isak Dinesen. To see wildlife without venturing far from the city center, visit #NairobiNationalPark, now a black rhino sanctuary and also home to a diversity of other African wildlife.

    1. MAASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE (8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD):

    Maasai Mara National Reserve (also “#MasaiMara”) is one of the world’s most magnificent game reserves. Bordering Tanzania, the Mara is the northern extension of the Serengeti and forms a wildlife corridor between the two countries. It’s named after the statuesque, red-cloaked Maasai people who live in the park and graze their animals here as they have done for centuries. In their language, Mara means “mottled,” perhaps a reference to the play of light and shadow from the acacia trees and cloud-studded skies on the vast grasslands.

    The park is famous for the #WildebeestMigration, when thousands of wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson’s gazelle travel to and from the Serengeti, from July through October. In the Mara River, throngs of hippos and crocodiles lurk. The park is also known for providing excellent predator sightings (check #BigCatDiary on #BBC), thanks to its relatively large populations of #BigFive: lion, cheetah, and leopard and many other flora & fauna.

    Thanks to the park’s altitude, the weather here is mild and gentle year-round.

    1. AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK (ELEPHANT COUNTRY):

    Crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, #AmboseliNationalPark is one of Kenya‘s most popular tourist parks. The name “Amboseli” comes from a Maasai word meaning “salty dust,” an apt description for the park’s parched conditions. The reserve is one of the best places in Africa to view large herds of free-ranging elephants up close. Other wildlife commonly spotted in the park includes #bigcats, such as lion and cheetah, as well as giraffe, impala, eland, waterbuck, gazelle, and more than 600 species of birds. Nature lovers can explore five different habitats here, ranging from the dried-up bed of Lake Amboseli, wetlands with sulfur springs, savannah, and woodlands. Look for the local Maasai people who live in the area around the park.

It is home to predators like lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, wild dogs and jackals. In fact, it is very easy to encounter predators in Katavi compared to other animals. A variety of grazers including elephants, giraffes, cape buffaloes, zebras, reedbucks, sable antelopes, roan antelopes, impalas, among others also call this park home.

    Katavi features a river from where the Park derives its name and two seasonal lakes namely Katavi and Chada that are home to a range of crocodiles and hippos. However, because of its remote nature, the park has limited accommodation. It has about four lodges and camps that is Katavi wildlife Camp, Mbali Mbali Katavi Lodge, Simply Saadani Camp and Bab’s Camp. None the less, the park can be visited all throughout the year especially between the months of June to November when the animals gather around the scarce water sources.

    Other safari destinations in Tanzania include;

    • Mikumi National Park
    • Udzungwa Mountains National Park
    • Gombe National Park, Arusha National Park
    • Rubondo National Park
    • Saadani National Park
    • Pande Game Reserve
    • Mkomazi National Park among others.

    Whilst it might not appear obvious at first, you can actually tell quite a lot about a safari park or game reserve by its name, and it can be important to understand the differences between National Parks, Private Concessions, Private Game Reserves, and Nature Reserves.  Broadly speaking:

    National Parks are run by the government – they are usually large and in some of the best locations with excellent wildlife.  They tend have very strict rules for visitors, and the government run accommodation is often fairly basic, however many national parks also have some privately run lodges and camps.

    Private Concessions are usually government or community-owned land that has been leased to a private company for them to manage the land and operate safaris for visitors.  This is faily common in Botswana, Kenya and Tanzania.

    Private Game Reserves are really a South African phenomenon, although there asre some in other countries as well.  These are privately run reserves, often bordering larger national parks, and the very best can offer some of the most memorable game viewing experiences as the guides have greater freedom to track the wildlife off-road.  Most private reserves are smaller than National Parks althought some can be quite large.

    Nature Reserves can be government or privately owned, and they usually have a greater emphasis on landscapes, scenery, and maybe some animals such as antelope, zebra and giraffe (plains game).  Nature Reserves would not normally have the Big 5, and the emphasis is much more on enjoying the nature around you rather than going out to track particular types of animal.

    So, Why Africa? Why Magical Kenya?
    A friend of mine once asked me, ‘‘Can you describe the emotion an African safari creates?” You are lifted. Out of whatever pit, unbound from whatever tie, released from whatever fear. You are lifted and you see it all from above. If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa.

    Nothing but breathing the air of Africa and Magical Kenya to be particular, and actually walking through it, can communicate the indescribable sensations. It’s really beautiful. It feels like God visits everywhere else but lives in Africa.

    Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer’s paradise, a hunter’s Valhalla, an escapist’s Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just home.

    Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same. But how do you begin to describe its magic to someone who has never felt it? How can you explain the fascination of this vast, dusty continent, whose oldest roads are elephant paths?
    Could it be because Africa is the place of all our beginnings, the cradle of mankind, where our species first stood upright on the savannahs of long ago?
    Few can sojourn long within the unspoilt wilderness of a game sanctuary, surrounded on all sides by its confiding animals, without absorbing its atmosphere; the Spirit of the Wild is quick to assert supremacy, and no man of any sensibility can resist her.

    To witness that calm rhythm of life revives our worn souls and recaptures a feeling of belonging to the natural world. No one can return from the Maasai Mara unchanged, for tawny Big 5 & Wildebeest Migration will forever prowl our memory and great herds throng our imagination.

    There is something about an African safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne -bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive.

    In Africa you have space…there is a profound sense of space here, space and sky. Everything in Africa bites, but the safari bug is worst of all.

    You cannot leave Africa, Africa said. It is always with you, there inside your head. Our rivers run in currents in the swirl of your thumbprints; our drumbeats counting out your pulse; our coastline the silhouette of your soul.

    There is a language going on out there – the language of the wild. Roars, snorts, trumpets, squeals, whoops and chirps have meaning derived over eons of expression…we have yet to become fluent in the language – and music – of the wild.
    The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa – for he has so much to look forward to. When you leave Africa, as the plane lifts, you feel that more than leaving a continent you’re leaving a state of mind. Whatever awaits you at the other end of your journey will be of a different order of existence.

    Africa – You can see a sunset and believe you have witnessed the Hand of God. You watch the slope lope of a lioness and forget to breathe. You marvel at the tripod of a giraffe bent to water. In Africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. In Africa, in the midday heart, you can see blisters in the atmosphere.

    When you are in Africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world.

    The word safari means “journey” in Swahili. Originally from the Arabic (safara) meaning travel. The verb for “to travel” in Swahili is “safiri“, the noun for the journey is “safari”. These words are used for any type of journey, e.g. by bus from Nairobi to Mombasa. A safari therefore is an overland journey. It usually refers to a trip by tourists to Africa, traditionally for a big-game hunt and in more modern times to watch and photograph big game and other wildlife as a safari holiday. There is a certain theme or style associated with the word, which includes khaki clothing, belted bush jackets, pith helmets or slouch hats, to animal skins. They travel in custom-built safari vehicles. Although the word safari came to popular usage in reference to hunting and touring expeditions in East Africa, it is now used generally to mean any long or adventurous journey or expedition, e.g. wildlife watching safaris, photography safaris, family safaris, mountain climbing tours, beach vacations, train tours, eco-safaris etc.

    Safari has now become a more eco-friendly form of adventure for people of all ages and walks of life. Travelling to Africa, Safari has become the most popular form of holiday to Africa, combining adventure with total comfort to ever-increasing travellers. On a standard safari, one can visit Africa’s beautiful game reserves, seeing hundreds of rare birds and mammals from your chauffeured safari vehicle. Relax in comfortable world-class hotels and lodges surrounded by scenic valleys and plains. Time takes on a new meaning as you learn to sit quietly listening to the sounds of Africa. The balance of nature will no longer be empty words you will see it daily in the drama of animals fighting for their survival and coexistence..

    Single supplements are charges added to solo travellers or any person in a group that’s on safari, occupying a single room.

    Most hotels provide double rooms for people sharing a room which is a common costing price by Hotels/Camps/Lodges. That’s why we have quoted all our safaris as per person sharing and a minimum of two pax per safari.

    The Big 5 are lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and buffalo – these were deemed to be the animals that were most difficult to hunt on foot, and who, when cornered, presented the most danger to the hunter.  The safaris we book for our clients are all photographic safaris, but seeing the Big 5 remains a major highlight for visitors to Africa.  

    Vaccinations that need to be considered are Hepatitis A & B and Typhoid, we suggest you contact a travelers clinic for specific recommendations for the country you are traveling to. A Yellow Fever vaccination is required if you are traveling to Zanzibar. 

     

    Africa is home to over 2,300 bird species, of which 64% are endemic to the continent.

    East Africa’s wild places rank among Africa’s best places to see lions, leopards and cheetahs. These are the carnivores that bring the savannah alive, the apex predators that bring fear and frisson to vast herds of prey wildlife and safari-goers alike, animating the East African plains by their mere presence. And if you know where to look, you may just see all three in a single day.

    MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE – #KENYA -BIG CAT DIARY:

    The Masai Mara is a safari cliché and there’s a very good reason that the BBC filmed its classic Big Cat Diary here. Lion prides stalk the plains, building their family groups twenty and thirty strong around the river confluences and marshes that dominate the central Mara. Leopards keep to the riverine edges, waiting for the time when zebra and wildebeest inevitably, reluctantly come down to drink. And cheetahs, the bottom of the big cat food chain, scan the horizon from their termite mound vantage points.

    TSAVO EAST & WEST NATIONAL PARKS- #KENYA. LAND OF THE MAN-EATERS OF TSAVO’

    Kenya’s biggest park is also arguably its wildest, an epic, red-soil territory of rugged mountains, endless plains and palm-fringed rivers. It was in Tsavo that the legend of man-eating lions was born in the late nineteenth century, and it remains a stronghold of lions – the two Tsavo parks are home to an estimated 700 lions, one-third of all lions in Kenya. Tsavo West is renowned for its leopards, while in Tsavo East cheetahs are commonly seen on the plains east of the Aruba Dam.

    AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK – KENYA.

    The Amboseli ecosystem is famous for its elephants set against a backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, but lions and cheetahs are also commonly sighted here throughout the dry season.

    LAKE NAKURU NATIONAL PARK – KENYA.

    As Kenya’s human population crowds ever closer, parks like Lake Nakuru have become islands in a vast sea of humanity. Inhabiting this island, one of the country’s most compact parks, is a rare population of tree-climbing lions. Lake Nakuru is also one of the best places in Kenya to see leopards. The lesson of Lake Nakuru is, therefore, simple: look up into the branches as or you might miss the cats altogether.

    RUAHA NATIONAL PARK- TANZANIA.

    Chances are that you’ll have lion sightings completely to yourself at Ruaha. Hidden away in southern Tanzania, Ruaha National Park sees fewer than 6 000 visitors a year – or about 16 a day – which makes it one of Africa’s hidden treasures.

    SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK- TANZANIA.

    Millions of wildebeests joined by tens of thousands of zebra and gazelle provide the perfect meal for lions in the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. The Grumeti Game Reserve in the west and the central Seronera region are some of the best spots in the Serengeti National Park to see lions.

    NGORONGORO CRATER – TANZANIA:

    If you’re looking for some of the easiest and most rewarding game viewing in East Africa, then head down onto the floor of the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera. Home to about 30 000 animals – including powerful lions – the Ngorongoro Crater delivers an incredible Big 5 safari experience in an extraordinary setting.

    LAKE MANYARA PARK – FAMOUS FOR TREE-CLIMBING LIONS

    Lake Manyara is worth visiting for its excellent lion sightings. Lake Manyara Park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, a feline behviour usually displayed by leopards.

    KIDEPO VALLEY NATIONAL PARK: UGANDA.

    It is the only park in Uganda with an increasing lion population. Kidepo Valley Park was named the number 3 park in Africa. In December of 2015, CNN called Kidepo Valley Park the best destination and the best Destination it is, a park where you will find an Africa as it was 50 years ago.

    QUEEN ELIZABETH NATIONAL PARK: UGANDA.

    Most visitors to Queen Elizabeth will see lions in the northern area such as the Kasenyi Plains.  This is a very fruitful area for those on a photographic Lion Hunt.

    MURCHISON FALLS NATIONAL PARK: UGANDA

    Most visitors spot some lions while on a game drive here and unlike in other places – it does not take long from your lodge to the game tracks.

    AKAGERA NATIONAL PARK – #RWANDA:

    Though more known for mountain gorilla safaris, Rwanda is also not left out the lion bonanza with Akagera national park as her savannah reserve puts her on the same footing with Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. Akagera today boasts the presence of the big five within its boundaries after the introduction of seven lions in 2015 from South Africa that included two males and five females. Later in 2017, more two males were also brought in and they have settled in comfortably. Since the reintroduction, about a dozen cubs hav

    Binoculars are very important. You will not always have the animals under your nose! A good pair of 8 x 30 or 8 x 42 would be ideal. The small pocket pairs can become frustrating to use unless they are a very good make.

    The 4×4 Safari Lancruiser is built and customized for the demands of an African safari adventure – more doors for easy access, 2 fuel tanks, and two spare tires.

    The Jeep’s 4 x 4 all-wheel drive and higher clearance from the ground will get you through the tough African terrain, up hills, crossing streams and over the rough bush.

    The Jeep’s pop up rooftop ensures an unobstructed 360-degree views.
    You’ll be journeying to and traversing the African landscape in the ultimate safari vehicle.

    The jeep has more room and leg space to move around than the safari minivan.

    The Jeep’s special suspension offers a more comfortable ride on rough ground as compared to a safari van.

    Off-road 4×4 Safari Lancruiser go where other vehicles fear to tread – head deeper into the bush and easily go off-road to pursue the elusive wildlife.

    The higher seating and large windows in our Jeeps create better visibility to view and photograph wildlife.

    All the camps and lodges that we use in Africa supply filtered and bottled water. We do encourage people not to over use the bottled water, for enviromental reasons; it is always a good idea to take a personal water flask with you, which can be filled up by the camps clean water supply.

     

    Power in the lodges varies from area to area; for the most part 12 volt battery power is provided, which is charged by generators whilst you are out of camp during the day. You will be able to charge your camera batteries whilst staying in a lodge. On the camping and canoeing safaris the lights are limited to hurricane lamps and flashlights, for charging batteries etc. you can use an adapter to plug into the vehicle power outlet.
