Safari Information

Your Gateway to an Unforgettable African Adventure

Planning your safari with Bushway Travels is more than just booking a trip — it’s about preparing for the journey of a lifetime. Whether you’re heading to Kenya’s majestic savannahs, Tanzania’s endless plains, or Uganda’s lush forests, this page gives you everything you need to know before you go.

When to Go on Safari

Africa’s wildlife experiences change beautifully with the seasons — there’s no single “best” time, only the time that best suits you.

  • June – October (Dry Season): Ideal for classic game drives — wildlife gathers around waterholes, and grass is low for easy viewing.

  • November – May (Green Season): Perfect for bird lovers and photographers; lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and excellent prices.

  • July – October: Experience the Great Wildebeest Migration in Kenya’s Maasai Mara or Tanzania’s Serengeti — a must-see natural wonder.
