Just about any time of year. However, the most popular seasons are mid December to mid March and August to mid the end of October. This is because of the demand for Christmas and winter holidays and the summer school breaks. An increasing number of visitors are realising that June and November are ideal, benefiting from lower visitor numbers.

Adventure Expeditions offers some safaris with greatly reduced or no single supplements in the months of April and May.  Also, we may well be able to offer some good discounts for larger groups during this period – please contact us for details.

The millions of wildebeest and zebras are always somewhere, but they are not always in large herds and on the move. Their location is largely dependent on the weather, which can vary considerably from year to year.  In general the herds begin to cross into Masai Mara in July and continue through August.  They remain in the region until the beginning of December when they follow the rains southward back into Serengeti National Park. They can move in enormously long single fine lines or in huge herds.

Yes. All safaris can be booked with the exclusive use of a vehicle for your party.   A custom safari for two clients is significantly more expensive per person than seats on a similar small group safari.  However, on a custom safari with an exclusive vehicle, the cost of the vehicle and driver/ guide are divided by the number of clients sharing the vehicle. Therefore, the per person cost of a custom safari reduces the more clients that are sharing the vehicle (maximum in one vehicle is usually 7 but on request, such as for families with children, we can carry up to 8).

If you are arranging an exclusive vehicle (custom) safari,  then you are free to arrange whatever itinerary you choose, within logistical constraints. Adventure Expeditions presents a small selection of proven itinerary favourites in this website. We can arrange any required itinerary subject to practical and logistical considerations and will be pleased to discuss and quote for your special requirements.

We do not operate a camping safari in Kenya.  However, we can arrange a safari using a number of tented camps providing a great holiday experience under canvas.

Because of the size of its organisation and volume of customers, Adventure Expeditions can easily include single travellers on most set date safari departures, subject to there being at least one other booking on the date chosen.  There is a supplement to cover the additional cost of single accommodation.  However, there is no single supplement (or a greatly reduced one) on most safaris in the low season months of April & May.

A safari is a wonderful trip for any child old enough to enjoy and appreciate the experience. On most safaris there are quite long trips on rough roads, and these cannot really be recommended for babies and very young children.

Children under 12 will benefit from reduced fares on scheduled airlines, and many lodges will provide an additional bed for a child sharing a room with parents at a reduced cost. Sopa Lodges all have large rooms with two double beds as standard. Some luxury small capacity tented camps do not allow children younger than 12 years old.
