Sparwild African Tours & Safaris – Travel Preparation FAQs
The best time to travel depends on the experience you want. For most destinations in Kenya and Tanzania, the dry seasons (June–October and December–March) offer excellent wildlife viewing, as animals gather around water sources. The Great Wildebeest Migration in the Masai Mara usually peaks between July and October, making it a highlight for many travelers. However, Sparwild African Tours and Safaris operates year-round, and our team can recommend the perfect season based on your travel goals, budget, and preferred destinations.
Weather in East Africa varies by region and season, but safaris are possible year-round. Expect warm days and cool mornings or evenings. The dry seasons (June–October and December–March) offer great wildlife viewing, while the green seasons (April–May and November) provide lush scenery and fewer crowds. Sparwild helps you plan your safari around your preferred climate and wildlife interests.
Yes, most international visitors require a visa to enter Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, or Rwanda. Kenya uses an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system, which replaces traditional visas. It’s easy to apply online before your trip. If your safari includes multiple countries, you can opt for the East African Tourist Visa, which allows seamless travel across Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. Sparwild’s team will guide you through the visa application process and provide all necessary travel documentation support.
Travelers are advised to get vaccinations for Yellow Fever, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, and Tetanus before visiting East Africa. You should also carry anti-malarial medication and use mosquito repellent, especially during the rainy season. It’s best to consult your doctor or a certified travel clinic at least 4–6 weeks before departure. At Sparwild, we provide pre-travel health and safety advice to help you stay well-prepared for your adventure.
You’ll need a valid passport (with at least six months before expiry), your visa or ETA approval, flight tickets, travel insurance, and safari booking confirmation. If you’re joining a multi-country safari, carry copies of your travel documents (both digital and printed). Sparwild’s team sends a comprehensive travel checklist once your booking is confirmed to make sure you have everything you need before departure.
Most transactions in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda use the local currencies (Kenyan Shilling, Tanzanian Shilling, and Ugandan Shilling). However, USD is widely accepted, especially for park fees and accommodation. Sparwild recommends carrying small denominations of clean, recent USD bills. Credit cards are accepted in most lodges, but ATMs are available in major towns for local currency withdrawals.
Pack light and prioritize comfort. Bring neutral-colored clothing, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, light jacket, sunscreen, insect repellent, camera gear, and binoculars. Avoid bright colors that might scare animals or dark clothes that attract heat. Most lodges offer laundry services, so a few outfits are enough. Once your itinerary is confirmed, Sparwild will share a custom packing guide tailored to your destinations and travel season.
Yes, travel insurance is essential. It should cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and evacuation services. While we ensure your trip runs smoothly, unpredictable events can happen, and insurance provides peace of mind. If you need help choosing the right coverage, Sparwild’s travel consultants can recommend reliable insurance partners that specialize in African travel.
Most safari lodges and camps offer Wi-Fi in common areas, though speeds may vary. Mobile coverage is generally strong near towns and major parks. Safaricom and Airtel SIM cards work well across Kenya and East Africa. Sparwild also provides guidance on staying connected and sharing your safari moments safely online.
Absolutely! We provide airport pick-ups and drop-offs, as well as private ground transportation throughout your safari. Our fleet includes comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles with professional drivers who ensure safe, timely transfers. Whether you’re arriving in Nairobi, Arusha, or Entebbe, our team will be there to welcome you and handle all logistics from arrival to departure — so you can relax and focus on enjoying your adventure.

Simply communicate your preferred schedule with our team, and we’ll tailor a payment plan that fits your needs while ensuring your trip remains fully secured.
We maintain a fair and transparent cancellation policy. If you need to cancel your safari, kindly inform us in writing as soon as possible. Refunds depend on when the cancellation occurs:
More than 60 days before travel: Full refund minus administrative charges.
30 to 60 days before travel: 50% refund.
Less than 30 days before travel: Non-refundable due to confirmed lodge and permit reservations.

Yes, your security is our top priority. Our website uses SSL encryption technology to safeguard all payment transactions and protect your personal information. We only use verified payment gateways and provide official receipts for every transaction. You can confidently make online payments knowing that your data and funds are fully secure.
Yes, last-minute bookings are possible depending on availability. Our experienced team can arrange short-notice safaris within a few hours to a few days, especially for destinations within Kenya like the Masai Mara, Amboseli, or Nairobi National Park. However, we recommend booking at least 2–3 months in advance to enjoy the best rates, preferred lodges, and guaranteed spots for popular experiences such as the Great Migration or Balloon Safaris.
Sparwild African Tours and Safaris – Timing & Seasons FAQs
The best time to embark on a safari with Sparwild African Tours and Safaris depends on what you want to experience. Generally, June to October is the most popular period for safaris across East Africa because it’s the dry season, when wildlife congregates around water sources, making sightings easier. This is also the time for the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Masai Mara. However, the green season (November to May) offers lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and discounted lodge rates — ideal for photographers and budget travelers.
Yes, Sparwild African Tours and Safaris operates all year round, offering safari experiences during every season. Each time of year has something unique to offer — from newborn wildlife during the calving season (January–March) to birdwatching opportunities when migratory birds arrive. Whether you prefer dry plains or lush greenery, we design safaris suited to your preferred climate and travel goals.
The Great Migration is one of nature’s most spectacular events, and it takes place between July and October in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. During this period, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles cross the Mara River from Tanzania’s Serengeti in search of greener pastures. Sparwild African Tours and Safaris offers special migration packages that allow you to witness dramatic river crossings and predator action up close, guided by experienced safari experts.
Kenya’s peak safari season runs from June to October and December to March, attracting travelers who want to enjoy sunny weather and abundant wildlife. The low or green season spans April to May and November, characterized by short rains and fewer tourists. While peak seasons offer prime game viewing, low seasons provide affordable safari deals, quieter lodges, and stunningly green landscapes — perfect for travelers seeking tranquility and value.
Absolutely. The rainy season (April–May and November) in Kenya and Tanzania offers a different but equally rewarding safari experience. The landscapes are lush and vibrant, baby animals are born, and birdlife is exceptional. The rains usually occur in short bursts, often in the late afternoon or evening, leaving most of the day clear for game drives. Sparwild African Tours and Safaris offers discounted green season packages that make this a great time for photographers and nature lovers.
For the best experience, we recommend booking your safari at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if you plan to travel during peak seasons like July–October or December. Early booking allows us to secure your preferred lodges, safari vehicle, and professional guide. However, Sparwild African Tours and Safaris can also arrange last-minute bookings, depending on availability.
Birdwatching safaris are best from November to April, when migratory bird species from Europe and Asia visit East Africa. During this period, parks like Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and the Serengeti come alive with vibrant birdlife. Sparwild African Tours and Safaris organizes custom birding safaris with experienced ornithologist guides to ensure you spot both endemic and migratory species in their natural habitats.
Kenya’s coastline — from Mombasa to Diani and Watamu — is beautiful all year, but the best months for beach holidays are December to March and July to October. These periods offer warm, dry weather and calm ocean conditions ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. You can combine your coastal stay with an inland safari for the ultimate “Bush to Beach” experience with Sparwild African Tours and Safaris.
Yes, safari prices fluctuate based on travel season. High season (June–October, December–March) tends to be more expensive due to higher demand and limited lodge availability. Low season (April–May, November) offers lower rates and great value for money. Sparwild African Tours and Safaris provides seasonal discounts and flexible packages so travelers can enjoy exceptional experiences within their budget throughout the year.
Weather plays a big role in wildlife behavior. During the dry season, animals gather around watering holes and open plains, making them easier to spot. In the wet season, vegetation is denser, but the scenery is stunning, and you can see baby animals and unique behaviors. Our expert guides at Sparwild African Tours and Safaris plan game drives strategically to maximize sightings regardless of season, ensuring a rewarding experience year-round.
Sparwild African Tours and Safaris – Wildlife & Conservation FAQs
With Sparwild African Tours and Safaris, you can witness Africa’s most iconic animals in their natural habitats — including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino). Depending on your chosen destination, you may also spot giraffes, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeests, flamingos, crocodiles, hippos, and over 1,000 bird species. Each national park and reserve offers a unique ecosystem — from the savannahs of Masai Mara to the swamps of Amboseli and the forests of Aberdares, ensuring every safari is a distinct wildlife experience.
While sightings of specific animals can’t be 100% guaranteed due to the wild and natural environment, Sparwild African Tours and Safaris works with highly experienced guides who know the best routes, seasons, and behaviors of wildlife. Our professional driver-guides communicate with local rangers and use real-time tracking to maximize your chances of seeing a wide variety of animals, especially the Big Five and predators in action.
Kenya is one of the few destinations in Africa where you can spot the Big Five within a single trip. The Masai Mara National Reserve, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo East & West, and Lake Nakuru National Park are top picks for Big Five safaris. Sparwild African Tours and Safaris offers custom itineraries combining these destinations for a complete wildlife experience that balances adventure, comfort, and photographic opportunities.
Yes. At Sparwild African Tours and Safaris, we are deeply committed to wildlife conservation and sustainable tourism. We collaborate with local communities, conservation organizations, and park authorities to promote responsible safaris that protect endangered species and their habitats. A portion of our proceeds supports anti-poaching initiatives, reforestation projects, and community-based conservation programs that ensure Africa’s natural heritage thrives for future generations.
We strictly follow eco-tourism and animal welfare standards. Our safaris never involve activities that exploit or harm animals, such as riding, baiting, or captive displays. We promote responsible wildlife viewing — keeping safe distances, minimizing noise, and respecting animal behavior.

Yes, you can include visits to reputable conservation centers in your itinerary. Some popular options include the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi, where rescued animals are rehabilitated and reintroduced into the wild. These experiences allow travelers to learn about conservation efforts firsthand while supporting organizations that play a vital role in protecting Kenya’s wildlife.
Sparwild African Tours and Safaris practices eco-friendly tourism by promoting low-impact travel and sustainable operations. We encourage small group safaris, use fuel-efficient vehicles, partner with eco-lodges, and promote plastic-free travel. Our guests are encouraged to respect park regulations, avoid littering, and support local eco-friendly initiatives — helping preserve the environment for generations to come.
Yes, but only under professional guidance. Walking safaris and night game drives are offered in select parks and conservancies under strict safety regulations. They are guided by armed rangers and expert naturalists who ensure your safety while offering a closer look at animal tracks, behaviors, and nocturnal wildlife. Sparwild African Tours and Safaris partners with certified conservancies to provide these experiences safely and ethically.
If an animal approaches your safari vehicle or campsite, remain calm and follow your guide’s instructions. Do not make sudden movements, loud noises, or attempts to feed the animals. Our professional guides are trained in wildlife behavior and will ensure your safety while maintaining respect for the animal’s natural space. Observing animals quietly allows for authentic and safe encounters without stress to the wildlife.
We believe in community-inclusive tourism. Every safari booked with Sparwild African Tours and Safaris contributes directly to local employment, cultural preservation, and conservation projects.
