Best month for Maasai Mara is July and August
In order to catch the great migration and the crossing of the Mara river, the time to visit Kenya is July and August. Its peak season so book 6-months to a year early. You will see such a sheer volume of wildebeest and other grazing mammals as will leave you wondering 'how is it possible'? And of course there are plenty of carnivores following the herd...

I went bananas about Uganda
I just spent ten days in Uganda, courtesy of Grassrootz with Patrick as driver/guide. Over 2000km travelled, enough to give an excellent overview of the country. Was met with friendliness everywhere and widespread English-speaking, a benefit to an anglophone monoglot. Lush countryside but the climate was comfortable for a European, one being over 1000m altitude most of the time. Much of the wildlife was quite different from adjacent countries such as Kenya and Tanzania. One could get close up and personal with wildlife, ranging from white rhinos to chimpanzees to banded mongooses. The Murchison Falls in full flow were awe-inspiring. The Kazinga Channel was notable for its plethora of animals and birds. Two of my stays were in tented camps, with private facilities, which provided extra intimacy with the natural environment. But at all stays there was an abundance of wildlife, ranging from butterflies to elephants. My guide/driver Patrick was excellent, invariably courteous and well able to answer any questions. I was a single traveller but never felt unsafe. I also came to learn the importance of bananas to the local economy!

perfect trip
From the first contact to the last - 'It Started in Africa' proved to be a fantastic company. Dixon - the guide was fantastic and our 6 day safari was nothing short of spectacular.
I can't imagine the trip being any better......
Customer service is amazing: before, during and after our trip...
Thank you to all involved.

Fantastic country
Fantastic safari experience, with much variety. Places like Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire offer different experiences and are all worth a visit. The people are all friendly and welcoming. Just a lovely place.

The Ngorongoro Crater is such a amazing place.
What a trip!! I had the trip of a lifetime wich also was our honeymoon! It was the second time I visit Tanzania (I'll will be back) I am wishing I was still enjoying the warmth, fragrances, beauty, sights and sounds of Africa.
Asante sana!!

Well organised, helpful and friendly.
I contacted Matoke Tours who very quickly helped me organise a week of touring parts of Uganda. It was a wonderful experience. I feel that I had made full use of the time available. Our driver was extremely helpful and considerate and indeed good company. All in all, a great experience - thank you.

We like Ajabu very well! Very personel and fexible! Better than we would have expected.....
It wasn't our first time to visit Tanzania. But traveling with Ajabu was a new and great experience! The communication in front of the Safari went very well and during the Safari we switched to other camp sites because of the moving migration (to be close as possible). This was only possible because of the fexibility of this company and the owners. Amazing to experience how they are working to give you the best trip they can! The drive was very friendly and gentle. And he was a good and save driver as well! Knowing every single detail of nature.
We will never forget this trip......
Thanks a lot Ajabu!
