Explore East Africa

The prime time for embarking on a luxury safari tour in East Africa is during the dry season from June to September. This period offers excellent game viewing opportunities as wildlife congregates around water sources, making it easier to spot iconic species like lions, elephants, and giraffes against the backdrop of the savannah.

However, it’s worth noting that the rainy season from November to May also has its allure, with lush green landscapes and abundant wildlife, including migratory birds adding to the safari experience. This season provides unique opportunities for birdwatching enthusiasts and those seeking a different perspective of East Africa’s natural beauty.

A luxury East Africa safari tour offers the opportunity to encounter the region’s diverse cultures, such as the Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania, the Batwa of Uganda, and the Hadzabe of Tanzania. Visitors can also enjoy traditional music, dance, and local cuisine.

Known as brave warriors and cattle herders, the Maasai people inhabit the lands among the African Great Lakes. As a monotheistic group, the Maasai have their own unique set of religious beliefs, traditions and rites of passage to abide by.

Referred to as the ‘pygmies’, the endangered Batwa people occupy the Echuya Forest Reserve in Albertine Rift, a significant eco-region. Residing in small stick and grass huts, these indigenous hunter-gatherers possess an intrinsic understanding of forest pharmacopeia.

Among the last hunter-gatherers in the world, the Tanzanian Hadzabe tribe shun material wealth in favor of dependence on nature for survival and value knowledge thereof.
