FAQ

Itineraries — straight answers.

For a first safari, allow 10–14 days. A classic Kenya & Tanzania circuit works well in 10–12 days; Cape Town, Kruger and Victoria Falls needs 12–16. Add a few days for gorillas, Zanzibar or the Nile. If you have only a week, focus on one country. See our Africa tours.
The two classics are Kenya & Tanzania (Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro — the Big Five and the Great Migration) and South Africa (Cape Town, the Garden Route and a Big Five reserve, often plus Victoria Falls). Both deliver iconic Africa with easy logistics. See our safari guide.
Yes — these pairings are the best of Africa. Add gorilla trekking in Rwanda to a Kenyan or Tanzanian safari, or finish with a Zanzibar beach. Southern Africa pairs Cape Town, Kruger and the falls. We build these as one seamless trip. See our gorilla trekking guide.
Book 9–12 months ahead for peak season (the June–October dry season, the Great Migration, and gorilla permits), as the best camps and permits sell out early. Shoulder-season and Southern Africa trips allow more flexibility, but early booking always secures better camps and fares. See our best time to visit guide.
