It's not that you will not see animals at other times of the year, but you will not see the variety and numbers of animals visible during these dry months. Do note there is a mini-dry season in East Africa from January through March in East Africa, which might better fit your travel schedule. The rates are their lowest and game viewing the least attractive during the rain periods of April, May, and November. The most expensive time to visit Africa is during the holidays at the end of the year. Thus, a 12 day safari to Kenya would normally consist of 9 days in Africa.
Breakfast is provided daily, and all meals are provided while on safari outside the cities.
Transportation while on safari is in special mini-vans which are limited to 6 or 7 passengers to ensure everyone gets a window seat. Park entrance fees are also included in the trip cost. Options available to the traveler in East Africa can include ballooning over the Masai Mara or in the Serengeti, fishing for giant Nile perch in Lake Victoria, an extension to visit the mountain gorillas in Uganda, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, or several days relaxing on the beaches on the Indian Ocean near Mombasa. Options available can include a flight above Victoria Falls, taking a canoe trip on the Zambezi River, or ride either the famous Blue Train or Rovos Rail between Cape Town and Johannesburg.
