Thus, the best time to go for the 5-Day Amboseli/Tsavo Eco Trail/Diani Beach safari is from June-October and January-February which are the dry seasons. These months are particularly good for wildlife sightings since many animals congregate around water sources in Amboseli and Tsavo. The roads are also less congested; therefore, travelling becomes easier. The best time to make a trip to Diani Beach is any time of the year since it is always warm and perfect for beach and water activities, but if you want nothing but a beautiful sunny day on the beach and traces of waves, then it is better to visit in the dry season.
For the 5-Day Amboseli/Tsavo Eco Trail/Diani Beach safari , carry casual attire preferably in natural colours for the game viewing activities, a warm jacket for the early morning and night, comfortable walking shoes, hat, sun glasses and sunscreen lotion.
