But, for now, here's a quick overview of the why and when you should visit these East African countries. 

Tanzania Tours

Tanzania is best known for being one of the host countries for the greatest wildlife show on Earth, the Great Migration. However, it has many other year-round treasures like Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, Big 5 safari adventures, Lake Victoria, cultural gems, and more. You can even combine it with a beach getaway at the nearby Zanzibar! The best time to visit Tanzania depends entirely on what you wish to do and see. However, timing is key if you want to witness the Great Migration and other animals in action, and you should then plan to visit around June to September.

Kenya Tours

Kenya, neighboring Tanzania, is also host to the Great Migration. However, it's not only the wildlife that makes this country special. The Maasai Mara is a colourful, culturally-rich nation and the classic de

piction of Kenya. It also has spectacular scenery, from Mount Kenya's snow-capped peak to Big 5 reserves, forests, and beaches. Kenya is also a year-round destination, but you will want to visit between July and November to witness the Great Migration when it's in town. 

Rwanda Tours

Rwanda is famous for gorilla trekking and is one of only three countries in the world where you can see them in their natural habitat (the others being Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo). The largest living primate, coming face to face with a gorilla is a moving experience. Rwanda is considered a year-round destination. However, the best time to go gorilla trekking is during the dry season, from June to September and again between January and February. Gorilla trekking in drier seasons is better because the terrain is less slippery. 

Uganda Tours

Another one of the three countries in the world where you can go gorilla trekking, Uganda, is known as the "Pearl of Africa". The source of the Nile River, you can enjoy plenty of water-based activities and safaris in the many game reserves around the country. Another highlight is seeing the unique tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park! Uganda is excellentall year, but its peak seasons are from January to February and between June to September when it's driest, making gorilla trekking easier.
