Question 1

What is the best time to go on a safari in East Africa?

Accepted Answer

The best time depends on what you want to see. The Great Migration in the Serengeti/Masai Mara peaks from July to October. The dry season (June-October) is generally best for wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources. However, the green season (November-May) offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and lower prices.

Question 2

How many days do I need for a safari?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a minimum of 3-4 days for a meaningful safari experience. However, 7-10 days allows you to visit multiple parks and have a more relaxed, immersive experience. We can customize itineraries to fit your schedule.

Yes, safaris are very safe when conducted with experienced, licensed operators like Kabengo Safaris. Our guides are highly trained, our vehicles are well-maintained, and we follow strict safety protocols. We also carry comprehensive insurance.

What should I pack for a safari?

Essentials include neutral-colored clothing (khaki, olive, brown), comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brim hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, a camera with a good zoom lens, and a light jacket for cool mornings. We provide a detailed packing list upon booking.

Question 5

Do I need vaccinations?
