Safari & Wildlife tours

The best months for safari trips to Tanzania or Kenya are July through October. That’s when major animal migrations happen across the Serengeti and Masai Mara, and seeing some amazing wildlife is practically guaranteed.

Safari trips to South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe are best during the dry season between April and October. There will be less vegetation, which makes spotting animals easier, and wildlife will tend to gather around watering holes for a drink. It’s the perfect chance to see lots of species at once!

The best time for wildlife trips to the Americas depends on your destination. For example, Central America has a tropical climate year-round, while Alaska is most comfortable during the summer months.

What countries are best for an African safari? Many of our African safari vacation packages offer a wildlife adventure experience for the whole tour. Trips to Kenya, Tanzania, or Zimbabwe and Botswana immerse you in Africa’s natural beauty and offer daily game drives for wildlife viewing. If you want a mix of city and nature, our South African safari tours are a perfect choice. You’ll have a few days of game drives, as well as the chance to explore the cultural capital of Cape Town.

Packing for Safari & Wildlife tours can feel intimidating but a few simple tips can get you prepared!

• Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing that can be easily layered are always recommended.
• Always being a sturdy pair of walking shoe.
• A sun hat, sunglasses, and rain gear will help you stay comfortable in all types of weather.
• Sunscreen, insect repellent, hand sanitizer, and binoculars are other must-haves while on tour.
• When packing for African safari trips, remember that luggage restrictions on game drives are strictly enforced. You’ll need to bring a soft, flexible duffle—hard suitcases are forbidden on safari vehicles to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Because of this, you’ll want to pack light.
• One expert tip? Wear muted or light-colored clothing, as brighter colors can scare animals away.
