Find information about planning your trip, what to expect on safari, and more. Planning an African safari is an exciting process, and we understand you may have many questions. We've compiled answers to some of the most common queries we receive to help you prepare for your adventure. General Questions ------------------- What is the best time of year to go on a safari? The best time depends on the destination and what you want to see. Generally, the dry season (June to October for East Africa) offers excellent wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources. The "green season" (typically November to May) offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and is great for birdwatching and seeing newborn animals. Are safaris safe? Yes, safaris are generally very safe when conducted with reputable operators like geemélsafaris. Our guides are highly trained professionals, and we adhere to strict safety protocols. We choose accommodations with excellent safety records and provide comprehensive pre-trip briefings. Booking & Travel ---------------------- What is included in the safari price? Typically, our safari packages include accommodation, meals as specified, park fees, game drives with a professional guide, and local transfers. International flights, visas, travel insurance, and personal expenses like gratuities or souvenirs are usually not included. We provide a detailed breakdown for each itinerary. Do I need a visa? Visa requirements vary depending on your nationality and the African countries you plan to visit. We will provide guidance on visa requirements, but it is your responsibility to obtain the necessary visas before travel. We recommend checking with the respective embassies or consulates well in advance. On Safari ----------- What kind of accommodation can I expect? We offer a range of accommodation options, from classic tented camps that offer an authentic bush experience to luxury lodges with all modern amenities. Your choice will depend on your preference and budget, and we carefully select all properties for their quality, location, and service. What should I pack for a safari? We recommend packing light, comfortable, neutral-colored clothing (khaki, green, brown). Essentials include a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, good walking shoes, a camera, binoculars, and any personal medications. We provide a detailed packing list before your trip. ### Still Have Questions? If you can't find the answer you're looking for, please don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly team.
