Imara Africa Safaris is a proudly Kenyan-based safari company — Kenya is our home, our heartland and our speciality. While we also craft journeys across Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda, no one knows Kenya's parks, people and wildlife the way we do.
We especially love combining Kenya & Tanzania — the Masai Mara and Serengeti form one continuous ecosystem, delivering the ultimate Big Five and Great Wildebeest Migration safari. In Uganda and Rwanda, our focus is mountain gorilla trekking and chimpanzee tracking — the planet's most moving primate encounters. We hand-pick every lodge and tented camp, provide a private 4x4 from our own safari vehicle fleet, and pair you with expert guides who know exactly where the Big Five roam.
And the best part? Our safaris run all year round — there is no bad time to visit East Africa, only different seasons, each with its own magic. As a fully licensed, locally-owned tour operator, Imara Africa Safaris offers honest pricing with no hidden fees, financial protection, free cancellation and 24/7 on-ground support.

As a Kenyan-based operator, Imara Africa Safaris runs trips every month of the year — there's no bad time to visit, only different seasons. Kenya is our home base for Big Five game drives (easily combined with Tanzania for the Great Migration), while Uganda and Rwanda deliver year-round gorilla & chimpanzee trekking. Tap any month below to see what's happening.
Dry / Peak Season
Best wildlife viewing — animals gather at waterholes and the Great Migration crosses the Mara. Book early; this is high season.
Green Season
Lush landscapes, newborn animals, fewer crowds and lower rates. Excellent for birding and calving in the Serengeti.
Low / Rainy Season
Long rains bring the best value and quietest parks. Some remote camps close, but it's ideal for budget-savvy travellers.
Month-by-Month Safari Calendar
August
Dry / Peak
Peak Mara crossings — Kenya's headline spectacle, ideally combined with the Serengeti.
Mountain gorilla trekking runs year-round, with the driest, easiest trails in Jun–Sep and Dec–Feb. Not sure when to travel? Tell us your dates and Imara Africa Safaris will match you to the ideal season and parks.
For peak season (July–October migration and December–February), book 6–12 months ahead — the best camps sell out fast. Shoulder seasons offer great availability and value, and we can often arrange trips at shorter notice.
Absolutely. Every itinerary shown here is a starting point. We adjust duration, accommodation level, destinations and activities to match your interests and budget — just tell us what you have in mind.
Most packages include accommodation, park fees, a private 4x4 with a professional guide, and meals as specified. International flights and visas are usually separate. Each safari page lists exactly what's included and excluded.
Yes. We work only with vetted camps and experienced guides, monitor regional advisories, and provide 24/7 on-ground support throughout your trip. Your safety is our highest priority.
As a Kenyan-based operator, we usually recommend starting in Kenya — the Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo deliver the classic Big Five experience, and it's easy to combine with Tanzania's Serengeti for the full Great Migration. If primates are your priority, head to Uganda and Rwanda for mountain gorilla trekking and chimpanzee tracking. We're happy to recommend the right fit during planning.
Our safaris run all year round — there is no bad time to visit East Africa. June to October is peak season for the Migration and dry-season game viewing, November to March is lush and great value, and gorilla trekking is excellent year-round. Tell us your dates and we'll match you to the best parks and season.
