Total Days: 8 DAYS
This tour works beautifully year-round, but the best timing depends on what you most want to experience.
For gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, the drier months from June to September and December to February are ideal, with easier hiking conditions and clearer views. That said, trekking is possible all year, and the forest is lush and atmospheric during the wetter seasons.
In the Masai Mara, July to October is peak season for the Great Migration, when vast herds of wildebeest and zebra move through the reserve, often accompanied by dramatic river crossings. If you prefer fewer crowds and excellent resident game viewing, January to March is also a fantastic time, with warm weather and good predator sightings.
For the best of both worlds, aim for June to September, combining prime gorilla trekking conditions with peak safari action in the Masai Mara.
