Recommended Safari Reading
Want to learn more about Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya before your safari? These books offer fascinating insights into East Africa’s wildlife, mountain gorillas, conservation, landscapes, history and safari heritage.
For the classic wildlife safari experience in Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara, we recommend The Safari Companion by Richard D. Estes, The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals by Jonathan Kingdon, and Out of Africa by Karen Blixen.
For Uganda and mountain gorilla trekking, Gorillas in the Mist by Dian Fossey offers fascinating background on mountain gorillas and their conservation.
Whether trekking through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, exploring the Serengeti, or enjoying game drives across the Maasai Mara, these books can add a deeper appreciation of the wildlife, landscapes and conservation stories you will encounter.
Reading is completely optional, but a wonderful way to prepare for your Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya safari adventure.
Weather
Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya enjoy generally pleasant safari climates year-round, although conditions vary between tropical forests, highlands and open savannahs.
In Uganda, temperatures are generally warm, while Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is cooler due to its higher elevation and can receive rain at any time of year. The drier periods from June to August and December to February are generally favorable for gorilla trekking.
In Tanzania and Kenya, the Serengeti and Maasai Mara are typically warm during the day, with cooler early mornings and evenings. The main dry season from June to October provides excellent conditions for wildlife viewing and coincides with the period when the Great Migration is typically moving through the northern Serengeti and Maasai Mara.
Weather can change quickly, particularly in Uganda’s forest regions, so we recommend packing light layers, a warm jacket for early mornings, and a waterproof rain jacket regardless of your travel season.
What to Pack
Pack light, comfortable safari clothing in neutral colors, including lightweight shirts and trousers, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and insect repellent. Bring a light jacket or fleece for cooler early-morning and evening game drives in Tanzania and Kenya, together with a lightweight waterproof jacket.
For gorilla trekking in Uganda, pack sturdy waterproof hiking boots with good grip, long trousers, long-sleeved shirts, gardening or trekking gloves and a small waterproof daypack. Bwindi’s forest trails can be steep, muddy and wet, so gaiters and rain protection are highly recommended.
Useful safari essentials include binoculars, a camera, spare batteries, reusable water bottle, personal medication and essential travel documents. A small flashlight or headlamp can also be useful at safari camps and lodges.
Keep your passport, valuables, essential medication and important travel documents in your carry-on luggage.
Pack light, especially as this itinerary includes small safari aircraft between Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. Baggage weight, dimensions and soft-sided luggage requirements may apply, so please follow the baggage instructions provided with your confirmed flight details.
