Port Louis
Port Louis is the captivating capital city of Mauritius, offering a vibrant blend of rich history, cultural diversity, welcoming locals, and modern attractions. Take a walk through the city and discover its bustling central markets, live entertainment, street art, colonial architecture, and scenic waterfront, making it a must-visit destination on the island.

Serengeti
Tanzania
January–March & June–October
Dry Season:
The weather is usually mild and dry from January to March, and most of the safari crowds are absent. June to October is safari’s high season; the Serengeti is busy, but weather conditions are perfect and the Wildebeest Migration’s dramatic river crossings take place. Although the sheer size of the Serengeti will give you a soul-stirring sense of space, the areas around the Migration’s river crossing points can get busy. If you want to be close to the action yet enjoy some serenity, we suggest staying in an adjacent private reserve.
Green Season:
November–December
The ‘short rains’ season relieves the dry mid-year winter. Clouds build up in the mornings and break in spectacular, but generally short-lived, showers in the late afternoons. Migrant birds return from the northern hemisphere and resident plains game give birth, which means the predator action is thrilling.
Migration Season:
December–September
The herds usually cross the Grumeti River in the western Serengeti between about May and July, then move towards the Mara River in the north to cross into the Masai Mara between about July to October. November's short rains trigger the herds
to move back to the Serengeti to give birth before calving season, which takes place from January to March and is renowned for bitter-sweet predator action.
Highlights
- Crowd-free game viewing, nature walks and off-road game drives in private game reserves
- Custom-made safaris for every traveller type – from families and honeymooners
- Incredible year-round game viewing, especially predators
- The Great Wildebeest Migration (December to October)
Consider Adding …
Kruger
It doesn't get much better than a Kruger Park safari. Home to the widest diversity of wildlife in South Africa and delivering some of the finest game viewing in the world, Kruger offers award-winning accommodation, smooth-running logistics and some of Africa's best trackers and guides, ready to take you on Big 5 game drives and thrilling walking safaris.
Cape Town
Set on a rugged peninsula between the Indian and Atlantic Oceans with iconic Table Mountain as its backdrop, the city of Cape Town sits in one of the world's most spectacular settings. But the scenery isn't restricted to the city alone: short drives take visitors to white sandy beaches, traditional fishing villages and wild mountain ranges while must-see destinations such as Cape Point, the Cape Winelands, and the whale-watching capital of Hermanus are easy day trips.
Madagascar
Madagascar is a study in contrasts. It’s the fourth largest island in the world but is little known, even among seasoned travellers. Fewer than 30 000 people visit annually, most of whom are not tourists but relatives returning to see their families. This gives Madagascar a timeless quality and makes it fascinating to adventurers who like going off the beaten track.

December to April
The hot and humid season, from December to April, is characterized by higher temperatures and increased humidity. This period also coincides with Mauritius' cyclone season, which typically peaks in February and March. While the weather can be more unpredictable during this season, it still offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the island.
The lush vegetation, occasional rain showers, and fewer crowds make it an appealing time for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere. It's advisable to keep an eye on weather forecasts and heed any official warnings regarding cyclones during this time.
May to November
The warm and dry season, from May to November, is considered the peak tourist season in Mauritius. During this time, the weather is generally pleasant with warm temperatures and lower humidity. It's an ideal time for outdoor activities such as exploring beaches, snorkelling, and hiking. It's worth noting that the southeast trade winds can be stronger during this season, which makes the eastern coast a popular spot for water sports like kiteboarding and windsurfing. Additionally, this period falls outside of the cyclone season, reducing the chances of encountering tropical storms.
The Kruger
South Africa’s biggest and best-known national park is home to the country's greatest diversity of animals and exquisite safari lodges on private game reserves. As one of the oldest conservation areas in Africa, it boasts healthy populations of wildlife and highly sought-after sightings of cheetah and wild dog. But the Kruger’s pièce de résistance is the almost guaranteed encounter with the super-celebrities of the safari circuit: Africa’s iconic Big 5.
Dry Season:
May–Oct
The dry winter season is considered the best time to go to Kruger for game viewing. Vegetation is low and sparse, making animals easier to spot and follow, and wildlife will not move far from remaining water sources at this time of year. It’s a very comfortable time for a safari with few mosquitoes around, little if any rain, and pleasant temperatures.
- High concentrations of wildlife
- Off-road driving, spot-lit night drives and guided nature walks in private reserves
Highlights
- Luxurious lodges with spas, gyms, private pools and star-beds
- 5-star service and exquisite cuisine – some of the best safari food in Africa
- Virtual guarantee to see all the Big 5
Green Season:
Nov–Apr
The summer’s afternoon thundershowers transform the Kruger into a beautiful, thriving green landscape that makes for superb photography. Game viewing is still good – with many young summer-born animals around it's a predator's paradise – and it's the best time to visit the Kruger for bird watching plus safari-and-beach holiday combinations.

Go2Africa was the perfect choice... We worked with Nicole from beginning to the end and she were so helpful in creating the perfect itinerary for us. From flights, to accommodations, to transfers, and tour guides, everything was perfect...Nicole was able to work within our budget and on all of our
wants/needs.
Honeymoon of a lifetime!
This is our 3rd safari booked with Go2Africa and I'm always amazed at the personal attention to detail that goes into planning. We gave Jessica a general area we wanted to visit and a wildlife wish list of animals we wanted to see…It was unbelievable. Once again, Jessica did such an amazing job with selecting the camps that were perfect for us…
Knocked it out of the park again!
The family had an experience that exceeded our expectations. At each critical change point of the journey (flights, transport, accommodation) the arrangements played out perfectly. The experiences at each location were perfect and we took home so many memories and things to share. Thank you! Job well done.
