With these scheduled departures you can:
- Combine Kenya and Tanzania safaris for a 14 day trip (see East Africa Explorer)
- Combine a Mt Kenya trek with a Kenya Explorer safari - 14 days
- Combine a Kilimanjaro trek with a Tanzania Explorer safari - 14 days
These scheduled departures need a minimum of 2 people booked to run, and we may get up to a maximum of 10 people in two Lancruisers on any one trip, (though that very rarely happens), but the cost is less than for a private departure.
Low season safaris
Although we have no scheduled departures during the rainy seasons it is perfectly possible to run safaris during these times - in fact conditions can be most delightful, everything fresh, green or in bloom and the game parks virtually to yourselves. The main problem with the wet season is not constant rain (there are usually sunny days with what rain there is in evenings and at night) but roads become muddy restricting access to some of the more remote areas.
It is much more difficult to run treks on Kilimanjaro and Mt Kenya during the rainy seasons though as the risk of bad weather is too great for us to be comfortable doing so - not just considering your safety but that of our staff and crew who may have to work in very wet or snowy conditions.
Contact us if you want to travel during these times (Sunday departures always suit the logistics better). Should rain cause disruption, then as long as you were understanding and flexible our guide would discuss the situations and other options available and we'd do our best to find alternatives to the itinerary.
