Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to go on safari?

The ideal time depends on the region and your interests, however, there is rarely a wrong time to go to Africa. Peak wildlife viewing often occurs during the dry months of June – September, while the green season of November – May offers lush landscapes and fewer travelers. We tailor timing to your goals, whether that is the Great Migration, photography, or privacy.
