Plan your dates
Trip dates calculator
Pick a safari and the day you start, and see the date of every day, the last day of the trip and whether your dates fall in the safari's best months. It is a quick way to match your flights to your safari.
Choose a safari and a start date
Everything on this page comes from each safari's own day-by-day plan, so the dates always match the itinerary.
Choose your first day to see every date of the trip.
How to use your dates
Book your flights to fit
Day 1 is the day your safari starts, and the last day is the last day of the itinerary. Ask your planner whether your flight home leaves that day or the next.
Check the best months
The tool tells you whether your start date falls in the safari's best months. Our best time to visit guide shows how each month compares.
Open-jaw routes
If the safari ends somewhere other than where it begins, you may be able to fly out of a different airport. See the table on our flights page.

The last day is the last day of the itinerary. Whether your flight leaves that day or the next depends on the itinerary and the flight times, so ask your planner.
