When is the best time to visit East Africa for a safari?
East Africa is a year-round destination, but the best time for safaris is during the dry seasons (June–September and December–February) when wildlife viewing is at its best. Gorilla trekking is also easier during these months due to drier trails.
How difficult is gorilla trekking?
Gorilla trekking can be moderately challenging, depending on the location of the gorilla family you are assigned. Treks can last between 1 to 6 hours through hilly and forested terrain. However, porters are available to assist, and our team ensures you are well-prepared for the adventure.
Do I need a visa to visit East Africa?
Yes, most travelers require a visa to enter East Africa. You can apply for an eVisa online or get an East African Tourist Visa if you plan to visit Kenya and Rwanda as well. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.
What should I pack for my safari?
Essentials include:
✔ Lightweight, neutral-colored clothing for game drives
✔ Sturdy hiking boots (for trekking safaris)
✔ Insect repellent and sunscreen
✔ Binoculars and a camera for wildlife spotting
✔ A rain jacket (especially for gorilla trekking)
Is East Africa safe for tourists?
Absolutely! East Africa is known for its hospitality and warm people. Tourist areas are generally safe, and our guides ensure your safety at all times. We also follow all health and safety protocols for a worry-free travel experience.
Can I book a safari as a solo traveler?
Yes, we offer private safaris for solo travelers and can also match you with a small group if you prefer a shared experience. Our goal is to provide an unforgettable adventure regardless of group size.
