East Africa Tours

According to the United Nations scheme of geographic regions, 20 territories make up East Africa. It sits equidistant from the equator and The Tropic of Cancer. East Africa is a land of vast open spaces and thereby serves as a playground for many unique and fascinating animals.

When is the best time to travel to East Africa?

The size and variety in East Africa means that it is a year round destination. However certain highlights are seasonal and are best visited during specific months.

Tanzania is ideal during July and August when the weather is mild. This period is also ideal game viewing conditions in the Serengeti as the animals usually migrate to  Kenya’s Masai Mara during the dry season. December to mid March is the calving season (when young animals are born) in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater making this timing perfect for game viewing.

June to October is great for Zanzibar as the temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius perfect for lazy beach days.

Kenya plays home to the migration across the Mara River during July to September. Wildlife usually stay in the Masai Mara until November before heading back to the Serengeti.

What are the Highlights of East Africa?

Game Viewing

Game viewing through East Africa is exquisite, and perfectly combines Africa’s top three national parks. Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Masai Mara National Reserve are rich with fauna and flora. From August through to September, the Masai Mara boasts the incredible wildebeest migration, and is the peak for wildlife and game viewing action.

The Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater lie adjacent to each other and are both wonderful year-round game-viewing destinations.
