Yes, it’s very safe to visit Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda. Like any trip, just stick with your group and guide, especially in towns.
Your hotel or resort is super safe, and while on safari, you’re in protected areas so there’s nothing to worry about.
Just remember to dress right for public beaches and follow the tips we give you before your trip.
The weather is usually very nice. From June to October, during the main tourist season, it’s cool enough without needing air conditioning—between 18°C and 25°C.
Even in the hotter months, it doesn’t usually go above 28°C. Safari mornings can be a bit chilly, so bringing a warm jacket is a good idea.
Beach areas like Zanzibar and Mombasa are a bit warmer and humid from December to March, but still comfortable.
Any time is a great time to see animals here, but if you want to catch the Great Migration, come between July and October.
Other times of the year are also good for seeing lots of wildlife and enjoying the green, lush scenery during the rainy seasons in April and May.
The beaches are lovely year-round, and the best months for hiking, like climbing Kilimanjaro, are from June to March.
Outside wildlife parks, your phone should work just fine with 3G/4G speeds in most places. In some parks like Kenya’s Masai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti, the internet might be spotty but calls usually go through.
Getting a SIM card is easy in Kenya—you just need your passport. Tanzania’s process is a bit more complicated, but we can help with WiFi devices if needed. Most hotels have WiFi, mostly in public areas, good enough for checking emails and messages.
