"I recently visited Kenya on a trip organized by Fatima, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We explored Nairobi and the Masai Mara, and going on safari with my family was truly special. Everything was perfectly arranged, and the support from Fatima and her team was top-notch throughout the trip. From smooth logistics to thoughtful planning, they made sure we could just relax and enjoy every moment. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience Kenya in a seamless and memorable way!"

It depends on what you want to see. The Great Migration is in the Maasai Mara from July to October and in the Serengeti from December to June. Gorilla trekking is good year-round but easier during the drier months (June–September and December–February). Most of East Africa offers excellent wildlife viewing in the dry seasons.
Yes. Permits are limited and rules strict — gorilla families have been carefully habituated over many years, and groups are kept small. Following the guidelines (distance from gorillas, masks, no flash photography) protects both the gorillas and you.
