When is the best time to take an Africa tour and safari?

Africa offers great experiences all year round, but the best time to visit depends on what you wish to see and do.

April to October is considered the dry season and is the ideal time to view an abundance of game on safari. If you're visiting the north of the region, you might wish to travel in the cooler seasons of spring and autumn, although there can be heavy rain in Kenya.

Our travel specialists can help you choose the best time of year to take a safari tour based on your preferred activities and experiences.
