Q4: When is the best time to go on safari?
The best time for safari in Kenya and Tanzania is during the dry seasons:
- Peak season (June to October) – Excellent wildlife viewing, dry weather, and the Great Migration in Maasai Mara (July–October). This is the most popular time.
- Short dry season (January to February) – Great game viewing, warm weather, and calving season in Serengeti (January–February).
Shoulder seasons (November–December & March–May) offer lower rates, fewer crowds, and lush green landscapes, though some rain is expected.
For the wildebeest migration, timing is everything:
- Serengeti (Tanzania) – Calving season (January–March), river crossings (June–August)
- Maasai Mara (Kenya) – Mara River crossings (July–October)
