East Africa Destinations FAQs
When is the best time to visit East Africa?
The best time to visit East Africa depends on what you want to see and do. The dry season (June to October) is generally considered the peak tourist season, offering the best game-viewing opportunities. However, the Great Migration in the Serengeti and Masai Mara peaks in July and August. If you prefer fewer crowds and lush landscapes, the wet season (November to May) is an option, but wildlife sightings can be more challenging.
What are the must-see destinations in East Africa?
East Africa boasts a wealth of incredible destinations. For wildlife enthusiasts, the Serengeti, Masai Mara, and Ngorongoro Crater are iconic choices. Gorilla trekking in Rwanda or Uganda is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Beach lovers can relax on the shores of Zanzibar. For those seeking adventure, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or exploring the Rift Valley is a must.
Is it safe to travel to East Africa?
Yes! Tanzania, particularly, has a reputation for being the most peaceful nation in East Africa. Of course, certain precautions are necessary for travel to any international destination. We suggest travelers use common sense: keep valuables at home, do not walk alone in unfamiliar areas and do not flash large amounts of cash in public. All in all,, East Africa is generally safe for tourists. Hiring a reputable guide or tour operator can enhance your safety.
What should I pack for an East Africa trip?
Packing for East Africa depends on the time of year and your activities. Lightweight, breathable clothing is essential. Comfortable walking shoes, a hat, and sunglasses are must-haves. Don’t forget insect repellent, sunscreen, and a good camera. For safari trips, binoculars and a camera with a telephoto lens are recommended.

Our Travellers Reviews
Outstanding tour operator
I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.
Awsome
Exciting trip!!! Bryson made a private tour with masai mbome & we had a rest in mountains near Ngorongoro - everything was awsome!!! Morevover, all of our individual things we re made with great discount!Mike is great ranger too!
Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!
We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.
A great experience!
We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
