Tips to Planning a safari to East Africa

–The dry season in most East African countries runs from June to October and that collides with the summer holidays in Europe and travelers should expect crowds of tourists in major tourist attractions if you like more of exclusive and fewer tourist numbers you should consider travelling in the low season in the month March, May, October and February

-East African safari destinations offer both Budget, Mid-range and Luxury lodges but a booking is required from June to September and from December to February

-A minimum of 15 days will be perfect to explore Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya however this may be a nonstop adventure without a lot of leisure time and we recommend a break in Zanzibar or Diani beach for relaxing beach holidays after the busy schedule

-The wildebeest migration takes place between July and October and travellers should consider booking in advance as the lodges are usually booked out earlier as the many travellers travel to east Africa to witness the wildebeest migration and the same applies to Gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda

-Due to primate trekking activities in Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania the minimum age limit is usually from 12 years for chimpanzee trekking and 15 years for gorilla trekking so when planning family safari travellers should ensure their kids fall under those age range to be able to participate on those safari activities.
