How it opens

The first page of The Kenya Safari Calendar

There is no best time to visit Kenya. There are twelve months, each of which gives you something and takes something away. This calendar sets out the trade in each one so you can pick deliberately.

The rest is behind the form above

It opens straight away in your browser, no wait, no attachment, and it prints cleanly if you would rather have a file.

How it works

Three steps, about four minutes

Fill in the form

Dates and budget are optional here. If you only want the guide, name and email are enough.

Read it

It opens in your browser immediately and prints cleanly to PDF if you would rather have a file.

Ask us anything

If you told us your dates, our Kenya specialist follows up within 24 hours with a tailored outline. If you did not, we send the guide and leave you alone.

About the download

Is it really free?

Yes. No payment, no card, no trial. We publish it because people who plan well are better to work with, and because some of them come back to us when they are ready.

Will you spam me?

No. If you give us dates, our specialist sends one tailored follow-up. If you do not, you get the guide and nothing else unless you ask. Every email has an unsubscribe link and we do not sell or share your details.

Do I have to book with you to use it?

No. It is written to be useful even if you plan the whole trip yourself or book elsewhere. It would be a poor advertisement if it were not.
