When to go on Safari

Our World’s Ultimate destinations in Southern and EasternAfrica are ideal to visit year round, with each seasonoffering unique experiences. Dry season and also thecolder months are between May and August. Due to thescarcity of water and vegetation and only a few naturalwaterholes, the animals tend to gather in concentratednumbers. The grass is less dense and lower which makesspotting animals easier. The nights can get chilly and closeto freezing point the further south you go. Temperaturesduring the day average between 60 – 68°F. The warm,rainy season generally runs from November to March. Itcan get really hot at midday and the animals are lessactive, usually found lying in the shade. Short afternoonthunderstorms are to be expected and nature is floodedwith new beginnings. The veld explodes into a lush, greenlandscape and this also marks the time for baby bucks tobe born. The rivers run mighty, making it a truly excitingtime to experience nature. Average daytime temperaturesare around 82°F.

ZimbabweZimbabwe is a landlocked country in Southern Africa known

for its dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife, much of it

within parks, reserves and safari areas. The Victoria Falls has

been described by CNN as one of the Seven Natural Wonders

of the world. Taking its place alongside the Pyramids and the

Serengeti, Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya – the ‘smoke that

thunders’) is one of Africa’s original blockbusters. And

although Zimbabwe and Zambia share it, Victoria Falls is a

place all of its own. As a magnet for tourists of all descriptions

– backpackers, tour groups, thrill seekers, families, and

honeymooners – Victoria Falls is one of Earth’s great

spectacles. View it directly as a raging mile-long curtain of

water, in all its glory, from a helicopter ride or peek

precariously over its edge from Devil's Pools; the sheer power

and force of the falls is something that simply does not

disappoint. Whether you’re here purely to take in the sight of a

natural wonder of the world, or for a serious hit of adrenalin via

rafting or bungee jumping into the Zambezi, Victoria Falls is a

place where you're sure to tick off numerous items from that

bucket list.

Kenya

KenyaKenya was immortalized as the home of the safari by

legendary personalities such as Ernest Hemingway and Karen

Blixen. Nairobi is Kenya’s bustling capital city, often used as a

jumping-off point for safari trips. East Africa's most

cosmopolitan city, Nairobi is Kenya's beating heart, an

exciting, maddening concrete jungle that jarringly

counterpoints the natural beauty to be found elsewhere in the

country. The Maasai Mara National Reserve is an area of

preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya, along

the Tanzanian border. The Maasai Mara is one of the world’s

most famous National Parks and is home to the Great

Migration, together with the Serengeti National Park in

Tanzania. These parks are known for their open short grass

plains with abundant wildlife. Its animals include lions,

cheetahs, elephants, zebras and hippos. Wildebeest traverse

its plains during their annual migration. The landscape has

grassy plains and rolling hills, and is crossed by the Mara and

Talek rivers. The area nearby is dotted with villages (enkangs)

of Maasai people. The Great Migration is a natural

phenomenon determined by the availability of grazing for

wildebeest and zebras. As the rains end in May in the south

eastern part of the Serengeti, the animals start moving

northwest into areas around the Grumeti River, where they

typically remain until late June. Their biggest obstacle, the

crossing of the crocodile infested Grumeti and Mara rivers into

the Maasai Mara, begins in July.

TanzaniaTanzania offers you compelling beauty and nature at her most

extravagant, including Africa’s highest mountain, Mount

Kilimanjaro, standing at 19,340 ft. There are numerous

National Parks in Tanzania, each offering something truly

unique. The Serengeti National Park, a World Heritage Site, is

renowned for its large lion population and is one of the best

places to observe prides in their natural environment. It is also

home to The Great Migration together with the Maasai Mara in

Kenya. The Great Migration returns to the Serengeti around

late October/November as the herds start migrating south

once again. The precise timing of the wildebeest migration is

entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year. The

Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to the Ngorongoro

Crater, a deep, volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and

unbroken caldera in the world. Lake Manyara and Tarangire

National Park are in close proximity to the Serengeti and the

Ngorongoro Crater. Both parks are smaller and less popular,

but definitely worth visiting. Lake Manyara National Park is a

protected area in Tanzania's Arusha and Manyara Regions,

situated between Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley.

Tarangire National Park is a national park in Tanzania's

Manyara Region. The name of the park originates from the

Tarangire River that crosses the park. Arusha, a city in East

Africa's Tanzania, is a perfect gateway on route to your safari

destinations.

RwandaRwanda is a landlocked East African country with a green,

mountainous landscape. Its renowned Volcanoes National

Park is home to mountain gorillas and golden monkeys.

Rwanda is known as Le Pays des Mille Collines (Land of a

Thousand Hills) thanks to the endless mountains in this

scenically stunning little country. Nowhere are the mountains

more majestic than the Virunga volcanoes in the northwest,

and hidden among the bamboo forests are some of the world's

last remaining mountain gorillas. Expert local guides will bring

you face to face with silverback gorillas in the Parc National

des Volcans. You will spend between 3-10 hours tracking one

sometimes crawling through dense vegetation which can at

times be challenging. Under guidance from the best, most

highly trained people for the job, you find yourself face-to-face

with something that seems so unequivocally human, it takes
