1. Decide when to go:

The best time to go on safari in East Africa depends on your priorities:

• Dry season (June to October): Ideal for wildlife viewing, with animals concentrated around water sources. The weather is sunny and dry.
• Green season (November to May): Offers lower prices and fewer crowds. Landscapes are lush and green, with the possibility of seeing baby animals. However, some roads may be impassable, and wildlife sightings may be less frequent.
