Planning a safari requires more than just booking flights and lodges. A well-organized itinerary makes the experience seamless.

Key Steps

  • Research safari destinations (Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Tsavo).
  • Decide travel dates based on weather and wildlife highlights (see “Best Time to Visit” blog).
  • Set a realistic budget including park fees, transfers, guides, meals, and tipping.
  • Choose between guided tours or self-drive depending on experience level.

Pro Tip: Use a trusted operator to handle permits, transfers, and logistics to avoid surprises and focus on the experience.
