Game drive safaris

Game drives in East Africa offer tourists a lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with the big 5 (five) game and other diverse animal species in their natural habitat. East Africa is a great region for wildlife encounters, especially if you plan to explore the big five game. Immersing yourself in the beautiful savanna plains of East African National Parks on a guided game drive will leave you with incredible memories.

How long can a game drive take in East Africa?

Each East African wildlife destination offers a different game drive experience. If you want a full-day game drive, you should carry a packed breakfast and lunch, which you may enjoy while exploring the beautiful wilderness. Alternatively, you can opt for an early morning game drive, an afternoon game drive or a night game drive. Any of these can last between two to three hours.

What to expect.

• A normal day on a game drive starts with tracking down the morning sounds of different wild animals. This can take up to four hours and that is the morning and on return, after refreshments the tourists get to go back in the wild to have the best of the wild.
• Expect a guided walk as part of the wild game drive for those who want to get close to the animals. These are not long distances and therefore suitable for the elderly and the disabled people who would love to get a connection with the wilderness.
• View the nature with a wide range of features depending on the national park or reserve you desire to visit. African wilderness, comfortable vehicles, the most confiscated and luxurious resorts in Africa with gourmet meals
  Expect to come face to face with the nature’s powerful beasts as you drive deep into the East African savannah giving you some of the most breath taking encounters.

When to go for drives

The best time to go for the wild game drives is in the dry seasons( June, July, August, September, December, January and February) where there is little rain and the animals are collected near the water bodies which makes them easy to track and view. You do not expect surprise rainfall that may tarnish the trip progress. These drives in the rainy seasons destruct clear views of animals that may even be hiding from the rain, butterflies and bird species. Therefore, the rainy season gives you just a handful of the whole wild you would observe during that dry season.

The vehicles to use.

There are custom vehicles and pop-up roofs which give you the clearest views of the horizon. For the pop-ups, tourists travelling long distances get to scan the whole wild while they offer you protection from the dust and the gusts of wind. These vehicles are made to meet your comfort since they are equipped with a fridge and a picnic bag to ensure that you are equipped for your wildlife game.
