East Africa is a great destination all year round. Each season has its
advantages, and each area has its best moments. If you have already
decided when you are going on safari, you can use these pages to decide
on the best safari to book. If
your dates are flexible you'll be able to plan your safari better by
understanding the seasonal trends in East Africa. The
annual wildebeest migration is an incredible event, only witnessed in
East Africa, so we've also included a special section to help you plan
a safari with the best chance of witnessing it for yourself.

April
2010: There is a chance of heavy rain during this period and showers can be
expected for a few hours every day or every other day. However, this time
actually offers the finest game viewing opportunities of the year.
Wildlife concentrations are at their highest in the Southern Serengeti. We have scheduled
Bargain

safari in Kenya,

May
2010: In May, the rains may
continue and the wildebeest herds are forced to start moving. The great
journey starts in a rather disorderly manner. A few of the 1.5 million
individuals decide it's time to go and start off towards Western Serengeti; the others eventually follow. Individuals
and small groups gradually merge into vast herds on the march. We have our
scheduled Bargain Birding
Safari and
Bargain Wildlife Safari either
in Kenya or in Tanzania. It is also the best time to do a
Gorilla Safari and the Rhino Charge. |
