    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    What is the best time to go on a safari in East Africa?
    • Wildlife Viewing: The dry season (June to October) is ideal, as animals gather around waterholes, and the vegetation is sparse for easy spotting.
    • Great Migration: Witness the dramatic river crossings in the Maasai Mara from July to October or calving season in the Serengeti from January to March.
    • Bird Watching: The wet season (November to May) is best for spotting migratory birds and lush landscapes.
    Do I need a visa to visit Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, or Rwanda?

    Yes, most visitors require a visa. You can apply for an East Africa Tourist Visa, which allows access to Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda with a single visa. Tanzania requires a separate visa. Many visas can be obtained online or on arrival.
