Things To Do and Best Time To Go On Safari

A luxury safari is defined not only by what you see, but by how you experience it. Our journeys are thoughtfully designed to combine iconic safari activities with moments of stillness, discovery, and genuine connection to the natural world.

Game Drives

Discover Africa’s wildlife with expert local guides whose deep understanding of the land allows for natural, unhurried encounters. Morning and afternoon game drives offer the best opportunities to observe wildlife in its most active moments, from the Big Five to rare and elusive species.

Walking Safaris

Explore the bush on foot and experience Africa from a more intimate perspective. Walking safaris reveal the smaller details of the ecosystem — tracks, plants, and birdlife — creating a deeper connection to the landscape under the guidance of highly trained rangers.

Cultural Experiences

Engage with local communities through respectful, meaningful visits that offer insight into traditions, history, and daily life. These encounters add depth to your safari and highlight the cultural richness of East Africa.

Hot Air Balloon Safaris

At sunrise, drift silently above the savannah for a breathtaking aerial view of wildlife and sweeping landscapes. This iconic experience is often followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush — a refined highlight of any luxury safari.

Boat & Water Safaris

In select regions, explore rivers and lakes by boat or canoe. Water-based safaris provide a unique perspective and are ideal for observing hippos, crocodiles, and diverse birdlife.

Photography & Scenic Moments

Whether you are an avid photographer or simply appreciate beautiful surroundings, our safaris allow time to pause, observe, and capture Africa’s extraordinary light, landscapes, and wildlife.

Best Time to Go on Safari

East Africa offers exceptional safari experiences throughout the year. Each season brings its own atmosphere, wildlife behavior, and visual character. The best time to travel depends on your interests, preferred pace, and the experiences you value most.

Dry Season | June – October

Widely regarded as the best time for wildlife viewing, the dry season sees animals gathering around water sources, making sightings more frequent and predictable. Conditions are ideal for classic game drives, and the landscapes are open and clear.

This period also coincides with the Great Wildebeest Migration in Kenya and northern Tanzania — one of the world’s most remarkable wildlife events.

Ideal for:
Big game viewing, migration safaris, and comfortable travel conditions.

Green Season | November – March

The green season transforms the landscape with lush vegetation, dramatic skies, and vibrant scenery. Birdlife is at its peak, and many animals give birth during this period, creating rewarding wildlife encounters with fewer visitors.

Ideal for:
Scenic photography, birdwatching, and a quieter safari experience.

Long Rains | April – May

A quieter time of year marked by refreshing rains and fewer travelers. While some camps close, others remain open and offer excellent value. The landscapes are at their most verdant, and select destinations continue to provide rewarding safari experiences.

Ideal for:
Travelers seeking privacy, value-driven luxury, and striking landscapes.
