Our approach
Tell us when you can travel, and we’ll tell you where to go
In Africa, timing matters more than the destination: rains, migrations and prices change from month to month. Choose a month and see where it’s the ideal season.
In January it is the ideal season in
- Northern TanzaniaSerengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire
- KilimanjaroTrekking to the summit
- KenyaMasai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu
- Kenya coastWatamu, Malindi, Tsavo
- Summit of KilimanjaroIn the dry windows the trails are dry and the summit is more often free of cloud. January and February are warmer; from July to September it is colder at altitude.
- Green seasonGreen landscapes, young animals, migratory birds from Europe and fewer vehicles around sightings, with prices lower than in high season.
