    This was my first time in Africa & I was totally taken by this beautiful country, the breathtaking scenery & the so friendly, happy people. Every day was a different experience: beautiful Zanzibar beach, various tours, safari's, village, school & orphanage visits, seeing wild animals up close in their natural habitat was amazing, but the highlight has to be ' the mountain gorillas', this is an experience I will never forget. I will def' return to this wonderful country.

    Best Intrepid trip yet! Thank you. Perfect balance of camping and sightseeing at a good rate. Tour leader top notch. Well looked after and enjoyed every moment. Never dull.

    I am an older person(60) and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. I was worried about the camping as I did not want to share a tent. I had my own tent for the entire trip and the assembly and tear down was not an issue. Most of the people were younger as expected but I fit in well and the age diversity actually added to the experience. This trip allows you to experience the local culture more so than an upscale trip without sacrificing animal viewing capability. In fact I think we were advantaged in our ability to view animals in the Serengeti. The truck is slower than 4 wheel vehicles but more comfortable due to the ability to stand and move around. Our group was small so our leader did most of the cooking. Thanks !! We participated in the meals by way of cleanup and vegetable chopping. I am very grateful that the leader did most of this work. Check that your tour included admission to the gorillas and Serengeti and transpiration. The African Ski trip did include this cost but others had to pay extra. You will be visiting 5 countries. Convert only as much money as you think you will need in each country as the money changers take advantage of inter country conversions. US to local currency seems fair. Take advantage of local visits such as schools and towns. Buy something from the locals. It’s usually the lowest cost and they are very grateful for the support. The animal viewing, culture opportunities and group fun exceeded my expectations. Great life experience.

    "The overall experience of this trip was excellent, with many wonderful places to see and experience, the most outstanding being the Simien Mountains National Park with its Gelada baboons and the rock hewn churches of Lalibela.The Limalimo Lodge in the mountains was by far the best of the accommodation and in the meals provided, the other hotels being a mixed bunch,especially those without lifts. Likewise the quality of the food. Even the Jupiter in Addis Ababa supplied me with an absolutely inedible meal (which they eventually did not make me pay for). As a member of a trio who were over eighty, I was pleased to receive special treatment and a special guide, especially at Lalibela, where we were able to see the best churches, but did not need to compete with the crush of many pilgrims in unlit tunnels. Otherwise our guide Teklu seemed a bit lacking in experience and in providing enough information on the places we were about to see. Some of us found him hard to hear as the bus was not equipped with a microphone. But these were minor quibbles in an otherwise great trip.

Best time to visit East Africa

  • Spring 2025
    Spring brings heavy rains and warm weather. The landscapes turn lush green, which makes wildlife watching and gorilla trekking particularly striking.
  • Summer 2025
    Summer in East Africa is hot and dry. Relax on Zanzibar’s gorgeous beaches, go on a boat safari in Tanzania Selous Game Reserve, or watch flamingos at Kenya’s Lake Nakuru.
  • Fall / Autumn 2025
    Short rains bring fewer tourists but striking scenery, which is ideal for wildlife viewing in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park or gorilla trekking in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
  • Winter 2025 / 2026
    Winter in East Africa brings clear, warm days and cooler nights, which is ideal for wildlife viewing in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park or Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park.
