There is no best time, each season has its own special features. Travel in the rainy season (April-May and Oct-Nov) and the landscape is beautifully green, the dust has settled and there are fewer visitors on safari. The grass is fertile and tall which makes spotting game more challenging but rewarding. The rain will mainly fall during the night. The rest of the year is called the dry season, when there not as so animals tend to congregate around the water sources, making game spotting easier. This season also attracts more visitors on safari.

What is the best time to come on a Safari?

I am lactose intolerant/require gluten-free meals/allergic to peanuts/vegan. Can you cater for this?
Yes, our chefs have been specially trained to deal with many different types of dietary requirements. The chefs will personally discuss your upcoming meals with you. Please also be sure to notify us of dietary requirements when making your booking.

No there isn’t, we welcome people of all ages. Children of all ages are allowed; we do suggest that children of the ages of 4 years and up seem to get the most out of their experience.

There is no upper age limit, however we do ask you to let us know in advance if your guests are physically challenged or less-abled.

I have a knee/back problem, can I still come on safari?
Absolutely! Please do let us know in advance so that we can book rooms closest to the main areas for you. Please bear in mind that there are steps in many of our lodges and camps. Our staff can eliminates long road transfers between lodges so you may take them in a light aircraft instead. However, game drives are conducted in the National Parks and Conservancies and the roads can be bumpy and one spends several hours on game drives each day.
