It depends on the species and location. Whale watching peaks spring–autumn in most regions. African safaris are best in dry season (June–October). Bird watching, turtle nesting and migration seasons vary by destination.

Reputable operators follow responsible wildlife tourism guidelines: no feeding animals, no removal from their habitat and no riding or close physical contact. Look for operators partnered with conservation organisations.

Neutral colours (khaki, olive, brown) are recommended for safaris and wildlife watching as they avoid startling animals. Wear layers for early morning game drives. Sturdy closed-toe shoes are essential for hiking.
