East Africa in December

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Since the rains commenced in December, thousands of wildebeest have moved into the Serengeti’s southernmost portion, where they are now approaching the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The calving season is barely a month away, so everyone can expect big bellies on their safari adventure.

Going gorilla trekking in Uganda during the short dry December season is great. Because the long rains have yet to arrive, the foliage is still quite thin. This means that photographing and discovering the primates of East Africa is much easier at this time of year, making it the perfect Christmas activity.
