    How do I plan an East Africa trip?

    Start with your season and priority: June to October for the Great Migration, January to March for calving and clear skies. Pick one safari country plus a coast or island, allow eight to twelve days, then have a verified local specialist build the routing, lodges and transfers around it.

    Trip Planning FAQs

    Everything you need to know before planning your East Africa adventure.

    We recommend booking 3–6 months in advance, especially for gorilla trekking permits (which sell out months ahead) and peak season safaris (June–October). For luxury lodges during migration season, 6–12 months is ideal. Our team can check real-time availability and secure the best rates.
