Best Time to Visit

The safari can be enjoyed throughout the year, but the best time for wildlife viewing is during the dry seasons:

June – October (excellent wildlife viewing and clear views of Kilimanjaro)
January – March (great weather and fewer tourists)

During these periods, animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot.
