Ideal for travelers looking for budget-friendly to mid-range options, road safaris also offer luxurious experiences for those who desire extra comfort while staying on land.

At Kilima Wild Safaris, we are committed to responsible tourism and sustainable practices that protect both the environment and the communities we work with.

A safari is an extraordinary experience that can be enjoyed year-round. However, the time of year you choose to travel will be influenced by the seasonal weather patterns, which in turn, can affect both the wildlife you encounter and the cost of your safari.

During the dry season, animals tend to gather around the few remaining watering holes, making wildlife viewing easier as the sparse vegetation offers clearer sightlines. While this is prime safari season, it’s important to note that the cost is generally higher due to demand.

In contrast, the wet season brings lush greenery, vibrant wildflowers, and a wealth of animal activity. This is also the birthing season, where you’ll witness the incredible circle of life as predators emerge to hunt vulnerable newborns. Although the wet season offers a unique experience, it is typically a more budget-friendly option.

No matter when you choose to visit, you can rest assured that our partnered lodges are equipped to provide comfort in any weather. With the added warmth and hospitality of our genuinely friendly guides and staff, your comfort and enjoyment are always a top priority.

Pack lightweight, neutral-colored clothing for daytime and warmer layers for evening game drives. Don’t forget sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, and a camera with extra memory cards. Our team can provide further recommendations once your booking is confirmed.
