Best time to go

June to August is straightforward for many safari plans, and September remains strong. April is less predictable during the long rains.

What to pack

Muted layers, sun protection, binoculars, sturdy shoes, and a warm early-start layer are useful.

Route idea

Safari timing, mountain conditions, and Zanzibar transfers should be planned as separate blocks.
