View packageBecause the grass is at its shortest, big cats like lions and cheetahs have nowhere to hide, making them very easy to spot while they hunt near the remaining water holes.
The herds are typically in the Northern Serengeti, frequently crossing the Mara River back and forth as they wait for the first scent of rain from the south.
? It is one of the warmer months, with daytime temperatures reaching 28°C–32°C, but it remains a "dry heat" which is more comfortable than humidity.
Yes, it is the dustiest time. However, our luxury 4x4 vehicles feature high-quality seals, and we provide refreshing face mists and chilled towels to keep you clean.
October is an excellent time to see them in the Ngorongoro Crater, as they spend more time in the open fields searching for water.
6. Is it a good time for a walking safari? It is perfect. The thin vegetation ensures maximum safety and visibility, allowing you to walk with armed rangers in the Serengeti or Tarangire.
Many top-tier permanent lodges we select for October feature eco-friendly cooling systems or air conditioning to ensure your comfort during the warmer afternoons.
Because of the dust particles in the air, October produces the most dramatic, deep-red sunsets in Africa—perfect for a luxury bush cocktail.
It is still part of the high season, but slightly less crowded than August. We use private concessions to ensure your luxury experience remains exclusive.
Light, neutral-colored linen or cotton clothes are best. A light scarf is also helpful to protect against dust during game drives.
