When to Go — Best Seasons for Big Five Safari (2026–2028)
| Season | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| June – October | Dry season — good for wildlife viewing, easier road access, clear weather across Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo |
| November – December | Short rains — green landscapes, migrating herds, fewer crowds, lower prices, still excellent for Big Five |
| January – March | Warm season — plains game, birdlife, fewer tourists, good value safaris |
| April – Early May | Long rains — lush scenery, lower tourist volume, budget-friendly deals, but some roads may be slippery |
Pro tip: For wildlife tracking and best Big Five sightings, July – September remains top — but off-peak months offer value and fewer crowds.

Previously Traveled Guest Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1. Sarah & Michael – United Kingdom (Travelled August 2024)
“This was our first time in Kenya, and we couldn’t believe how smooth everything was from start to finish. Our guide, Daniel, knew exactly where to find the animals — we saw the Big Five in just three days! The lodges were clean, comfortable, and eco-friendly, which meant a lot to us. The whole experience felt safe, well-organized, and deeply memorable. Highly recommend this company!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2. Ahmed & Family – United Arab Emirates (Travelled December 2023)
“Travelling with two kids under 10, we were worried about comfort — but everything exceeded our expectations. The 4×4 was spacious, our guide was patient with the children, and the wildlife sightings were unbelievable. Amboseli’s elephants were the highlight, and our cultural visit to the Maasai village was so educational. We felt secure, cared for, and well-informed throughout the journey.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3. Linda – United States (Solo Traveller, Travelled July 2024)
“As a solo traveler, safety and transparency matter a lot. This company delivered both. They provided clear pricing, no surprises, and constant communication. The safari itself was extraordinary — lions hunting at sunrise, a leopard in the Mara trees, and huge herds of buffalo. I appreciated the eco-friendly approach, refillable water, and community support. I’m already planning a second trip!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4. The Rodriguez Group – Spain (Travelled October 2024)
“We were a group of seven friends, and this safari became the highlight of our Africa trip. The itinerary was well structured, the food delicious, and every lodge had its own charm. Our guide had an incredible ability to track rhinos and kept us entertained with stories about the wildlife and Kenyan culture. We felt we got premium service at great value. 10/10 experience!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5. Martin & Jana – Germany (Travelled June 2023)
“We chose this company because of their focus on responsible tourism — and they lived up to it. Our lodge used solar energy, meals were sourced from local farmers, and the staff treated wildlife with complete respect. On the game drives, we spotted lions, elephants, and even a shy black rhino. Every moment felt authentic and unhurried. This is the safari company you book when you want real Kenya.”
