When to visit Kenya

Deciding when to visit Kenya entirely lies with your interest. Kenya is considered a year round destination for both safaris and beach holidays. Most safaris are best when the climate is mild, mostly dry and game viewing at its peak.

That is between January and the end of March. However, a choice to visit the country for the Masai Mara wildebeest migration mid July and late October would be the best time. The moderate to equatorial temperatures mean that you are comfortable during game drives and other outdoor activities.

Long dry season is followed by a short rainy season in November and December. This increases the amount of vegetation in the wilderness making the animals more dispersed. Whilst the weather in Kenya ensures a pleasing trip anytime of year, some wildlife events occur only at specific times. Only the peak of the ‘long rains’ in March, April and May are very wet.
