The best time varies by destination: Kenya and Tanzania are excellent from July to October (dry season, Great Migration viewing) and December to March (calving season, fewer crowds). South Africa's Kruger is best from May to September (dry season, excellent game viewing). Botswana's Okavango Delta peaks from June to October when water levels are high. UK school holidays (Easter, summer, Christmas) are popular but book early.

All vehicles are well-maintained, and guides are trained in first aid. We also provide comprehensive travel insurance options.
