A 2-day Dik Dik Safari offers a wonderful opportunity to explore the wildlife and landscapes of Kenya, with a special focus on the Dik Dik, a small and elusive antelope known for its distinctive size and habits. While the Dik Dik is often overshadowed by larger animals, this safari will allow you to observe its fascinating behaviors in the wild, especially in the context of Kenya’s diverse ecosystems.

Your Safari Starts: A Journey through Kenya’s Wilderness

As your safari begins, you’re welcomed by the fresh morning air, the sounds of birds and distant wildlife, and the sight of a vast African landscape stretching before you.

Day 1: Tsavo East – Sentrim Tarhi Camp (L D)
You will be picked up from your coastal hotel / Mombasa Airport in the early morning and then head to Tsavo East National Park on the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway passing the Buchuma Gate, after we check in at the park we will start immediately with our first game drive, look out for zebras, buffaloes, various species of gazelles, waterbucks and herds of elephants. There are also various bird species, such as hornbill, eagles, kingfishers, weaver birds, giant bustards, storks, marabou storks etc. We will arrive and check in at Tsavo Sentrim Tarhi camp in time for lunch. After a short rest we go for another safari in the afternoon including the Mudanda Rock, a massive rock outcrop that is almost one mile long. Lions and Leopards favor the comfortably warm high rock as an ideal viewpoint for hunting. We will get back to Camp for dinner and overnight. In the evening you can easily observe the animals from your rooms, when they are drinking at the water holes.

Day 2: Tsavo East – Coast (B L)
Early Morning game drives with high chances of seeing the predators while hunting, then back to the camp for breakfast. After breakfast, proceed for a game drive enroute as we come out of the park arriving at a Restaurant outside the park in time for lunch, after which we drive back to your hotel on the coast, arriving there in the late evening.

March, April and May (Peak of the Wet season)

Dry Season (June to October) – Best Time for Wildlife Viewing

  • Weather: These months are cooler and drier, which makes wildlife easier to spot as animals gather around water sources.
  • Great Migration: This is the peak of the wildebeest migration in the Maasai Mara, especially between July and October. This is a highlight for many visitors.
  • Wildlife Viewing: Since vegetation is less dense, animals are more visible in the open savannah, and predators are more active, making this the best time for general game viewing.
  • Temperatures: Daytime temperatures are usually mild, ranging from 24°C to 28°C (75°F to 82°F), with cooler mornings and evenings.

 

2. Short Rainy Season (November to December)

  • Weather: Occasional short rains, usually in the form of afternoon showers, but still lots of sunshine.
  • Wildlife Viewing: The rains can make animals a bit harder to spot, but it’s a quieter time to visit, and many areas are lush and green, which offers a different perspective.
  • Benefits: Fewer tourists, and some safari lodges and camps offer lower rates during this season.
  • Temperatures: Temperatures can range between 20°C and 28°C (68°F to 82°F).

 

3. Long Rainy Season (March to May) – Low Season

  • Weather: This is the wettest period in Kenya, with frequent and intense rains, making some roads difficult to travel, especially in remote areas.
  • Wildlife Viewing: The rain can create a more challenging safari experience as animals tend to spread out more and are harder to spot. However, birdwatching is excellent during this time as many migratory birds are in Kenya.
  • Benefits: The rainy season is the least crowded time of year, and many lodges offer significant discounts, which can make for a more budget-friendly trip.
  • Temperatures: Similar to the short rains, temperatures range from 20°C to 28°C (68°F to 82°F).

 

4. Shoulder Season (January to February)

  • Weather: This is generally a dry period, with warm to hot temperatures and little rainfall. It’s often considered one of the best times for safaris.
  • Wildlife Viewing: During this period, game viewing is excellent as animals gather around water sources. The landscapes are still lush and green from the rainy season, but the grass is shorter, making wildlife spotting easier.
  • Temperatures: This is the hottest time of year, with temperatures averaging between 25°C and 30°C (77°F to 86°F).
