When to Book Your 2 Days Safari from Mombasa
For the best wildlife viewing, consider planning your 2 Days Safari from Mombasa during the dry seasons (June to October and January to February). During these periods, vegetation is less dense, and animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot.
However, Mombasa Safaris run year-round, and the green season (March to May and November to December) offers its own advantages, including fewer tourists and lush landscapes.
