The best time to do a Safari
To know the best time to do a Safari , you must first consider where you are going to do it, since it depends a lot on the migrations of the animals . For example, if you are considering going to Kenya, the best time is May to September, before the great migration. On the other hand, if you like Tanzania more, the best time is from October to November. But without further ado, we have placed your best time to visit it at each destination.
What is the weather like during a Safari?
These countries usually have a tropical climate throughout the year, where the summer is characteristic of being dry, hot and with low rainfall. During the colder months, there are usually times of more rain, but warm.
You should only take into account having rain gear and a coat for the first hours of the morning or night, where the weather is a little cooler.
