Shikisha Tours and Travel FAQ
What are the best safari destinations in East Africa?
East Africa is home to some of the world’s most incredible safari destinations, including:
- Maasai Mara National Reserve (Kenya) – Famous for the Great Migration and Big Five safaris.
- Serengeti National Park (Tanzania) – Known for vast plains and abundant wildlife.
- Ngorongoro Crater (Tanzania) – A unique volcanic caldera filled with diverse animals.

- Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Uganda) – Home to half of the world’s mountain gorilla population.
When is the best time to go on safari in East Africa?
The best time for safaris is during the dry season (June – October) when wildlife is easier to spot. The Great Migration in Maasai Mara and Serengeti happens between July and October. The wet season (November – May) offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds, ideal for birdwatching.
What should I pack for an African safari?
- Lightweight, neutral-colored clothing (long sleeves for sun and insect protection).
- Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots.
- Binoculars for wildlife spotting.
- A camera with a zoom lens.
- Sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat.
- A small backpack for day trips.
What vaccinations and health precautions should I take?
