In 2017, I decided to go on a safari to Kenya.
I wanted to see lions, rhinos and buffaloes, hand feed giraffes, try ostrich cutlets and at least see Kilimanjaro out of the corner of my eye. But the tour from Russia was too expensive – $3,100вЃЈ (205,849 R). So I decided to organize everything myself.
Before that, I traveled a lot, but I had never been to Africa and I was afraid to go there: it was scary to get malaria. I spent two months clarifying all the details, choosing an agency in Kenya through an online agency, agreeing on a route and finding fellow travelers. But the whole trip cost $2,078вЃЈ (R137,985) with a flight from Moscow. And if without taking into account flights and visas, then only 1150 $вЃЈ (76 363 R), that is, 1950 $вЃЈ (129 486 R) cheaper than the tour.
I spent 5 days on a safari, and then rested for the same amount on the snow-white beaches of Zanzibar. In many ways, the trip exceeded expectations. But there were also disappointments – I will tell about them in the article.

The safari looks like this: a car with a raised roof is driving across the savannah, tourists with cameras are sticking out of it and trying to see as many animals as possible. The main luck is to notice the “big five”, or big five. These are the lion, the elephant, the rhinoceros, the buffalo and the leopard. We were lucky: we saw them already in the first two days.
Safari is a tedious task: you have to get up early and stay in the car for a long time. Therefore, after a safari, tourists usually go to the beach. The Indian Ocean is located about 500 km from Nairobi. Most often, Mombasa in Kenya or the island of Zanzibar, which belongs to the territory of Tanzania, are chosen for a beach holiday. So did I.

Kenya crosses the equator zone, so it is warm all year round. The average daily temperature in spring and summer is 28…30 В°C, in autumn and winter it is 25…32 В°C. Sometimes at night the temperature can drop to 12 В°C. It rains from April to June and from October to early December. At this time, the likelihood of getting malaria is higher, so it is better to travel during the dry season – from December to March and from June to September.
In Zanzibar, the temperature is 26 … 33 В° C all year round, the long rainy season lasts from March to May. The most comfortable period for recreation is from June to October.
Our trip fell at the end of winter – the beginning of spring. It was very comfortable in Kenya, but it was too hot in Zanzibar: at the height of the day, we did not even dare to go outside and spent time in the room.
In addition to the weather, it is important to consider animal behavior when planning your trip. Every year, about a million wildebeests, gazelles and zebras travel to other territories in search of food. This process is called the great migration. In August-September, animals cross the Maru River, where crocodiles and other predators are already waiting for them. The river flows near the border of Kenya and Tanzania. A huge number of tourists and photographers come to watch the river storm and literally capture the Serengeti National Parks in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya. Safari prices are skyrocketing, and you need to book a trip in advance.
