Why go

Three days of savanna on the doorstep. Direct to Nairobi, then road or light aircraft into the reserve — the only safari on this list you can do over a long weekend.

What to know before you book

  • The travel authorisation is electronic and usually quick; carry a printed approval anyway
  • If Rwanda and Uganda are on the same trip, the East Africa tourist visa is usually the better buy
  • Light aircraft into the reserve costs more than the road and saves most of a day
When to go
July to October for the migration. January and February are dry, green and much quieter.
Who it suits
Long weekends, visitors you are hosting, anniversaries
