What is inside
What the guide covers
Fourteen regions across six countries, each with what it is best at, when it peaks, and what it sensibly pairs with.
- Why the region is the right unit to choose with
- Kenya: the Mara, the conservancies, Laikipia, Samburu, Amboseli
- Tanzania: the Serengeti in three parts, the Crater, the south, the west
- Botswana: the Delta, the Linyanti, Chobe, the Kalahari
- Rwanda and Uganda: the forests
- Zanzibar: four coasts, four different weeks
- What pairs with what, and what does not
- Peak months, region by region
- A shortlist worksheet
No cost, no obligation. We ask for an email so we can send it and, if you want it, follow up once.
How it opens
The first page of The Safari Region Guide
People choose countries, then camps, and skip the step in between. It is the wrong shape, because the country is too big a unit to decide with and the camp is too small.
The region is the right unit. "Botswana" tells you almost nothing — the Okavango in June and the Kalahari in January are different holidays in different landscapes with different animals at different prices. This guide is the level in between.

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.
