KENYA
The best time to visit Kenya depends on your preferences and the specific experiences you are seeking. Generally, the dry seasons of January to March and July to October are considered the best times for wildlife viewing in Kenya. During these months, the weather is usually warm and dry, and the vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot animals.
The Great Wildebeest Migration, one of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife events, occurs in the Masai Mara between July and October. This period attracts a large number of visitors who come to witness the dramatic river crossings.
If you’re interested in birdwatching, November to April is a great time to visit Kenya, as migratory bird species are present, and the birdlife is abundant.
It’s worth noting that Kenya’s climate varies across different regions and altitude levels. Coastal areas tend to have a tropical climate, while highland regions, such as Nairobi and Mount Kenya, have milder temperatures year-round.
Ultimately, the best time to visit Kenya depends on your preferences, the specific activities you wish to engage in, and the wildlife or natural phenomena you want to witness.
TANZANIA
The best time to visit Tanzania depends on the specific regions and experiences you are seeking. Tanzania has diverse ecosystems and a range of climates, so the ideal time to visit can vary.
For wildlife viewing, the dry season from June to October is generally considered the best time. During this period, animals gather around water sources, and vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot wildlife in national parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The Great Wildebeest Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras move between Tanzania and Kenya, typically occurs from November to August, with specific timing varying each year.
If you’re interested in birdwatching, the wet season from November to April is the prime time as migratory bird species are present, and the birdlife is abundant.
It’s important to note that Tanzania’s climate can vary from coastal regions to highland areas. Coastal regions, such as Zanzibar, have a tropical climate with hot and humid conditions year-round. In contrast, the highlands, including Mount Kilimanjaro and the Southern Highlands, can be cooler, especially at higher altitudes.

As you embark on your upcoming travel adventures, we would like to emphasize the importance of obtaining travel insurance. While we hope that your journey is smooth and free of any unforeseen events, having adequate travel insurance provides you with peace of mind and financial protection in case of unexpected circumstances.
Here are a few key points to consider when it comes to travel insurance:
Medical Emergencies: Travel insurance ensures that you have access to medical assistance and coverage in case of illness or injury during your trip. This includes medical evacuation if necessary, which can be costly without insurance.
Trip Cancellation or Interruption: Life is unpredictable, and sometimes plans need to be altered or canceled. Travel insurance can provide reimbursement for non-refundable expenses if your trip is canceled or cut short due to covered reasons, such as illness, injury, or unforeseen events.
Lost or Delayed Luggage: It’s not uncommon for luggage to be lost or delayed during travel. With travel insurance, you can receive compensation for necessary items you may need while your luggage is being located or replaced.
Travel Delays or Missed Connections: Travel insurance can offer coverage for additional expenses incurred due to significant travel delays or missed connections, such as accommodation, meals, or transportation arrangements.
Emergency Assistance: Having travel insurance means having access to 24/7 emergency assistance services. These services can help with issues like lost passports, emergency cash transfers, or providing information and support during critical situations.
Before purchasing travel insurance, carefully review the policy coverage, limitations, and any exclusions that may apply. It’s essential to choose a policy that suits your specific travel needs and consider any pre-existing medical conditions that might require additional coverage.
Remember, travel insurance is an investment in your peace of mind and can protect you from significant financial burdens during your journey. We highly recommend obtaining travel insurance and encourage you to reach out to our team if you have any questions or require assistance in finding a suitable insurance provider.
