Safaris are not vacations but trips, which are predetermined by seasons, animal migrations and local experience.
Choose the most suitable time to visit

Pick Your Parks Carefully
Big cats and migration herds are known to exist in Masai Mara. Amboseli is a traditional elephant and mount kilimanjaro sight. Tsavo is quite spacious and is appropriate in rugged landscape.
Select Luxury or Budget
Kenya has basic camps and the posh lodges. Budget tours depend on group transport and their lodging is less elaborate as compared to luxurious lodges which have personal guides, finer tuning meals and best quality comfort.
Reserved By a Reputable Company

Pack Smart on the Environment

Know Health and Safety Tips
Test the conditions of a check vaccination and do not forget about the prevention of malaria depending on your schedule. Insurance of medical evacuation is also highly recommended since the safari areas are not the most convenient locations and medical service can be in a long distance.
Learn Safari Etiquette
Do not speak when sightseeing, do not stand unless the guides give you permission and do not feed the animals. Wildness never does any evil to the wildlife; it preserves the behavior of these animals.
Organize Cultural Field trips
Cultural tourism On site visits to the local Maasai or Samburu communities will offer a source of cultural information alongside wildlife. Conscience tours facilitate the support of the local culture.
Allow Time to Relax
