When is the best time to go on safari?
The best time for a safari depends on the destination. Generally, the dry season from June to October is ideal for game viewing, as animals gather around water sources. However, the wet season offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and excellent bird watching opportunities.

We use 4x4 safari vehicles equipped with pop-up roofs for excellent wildlife viewing and photography. All vehicles are maintained to high safety standards and driven by experienced guides.
Can I book a same-day safari tour?
