Best Time To Visit.

The best time to visit Kenya depends on your interests, particularly regarding wildlife viewing, weather conditions, and activities. Here’s a breakdown of the ideal times based on various factors:

Wildlife Viewing

 June to October: This period is considered the peak safari season. The dry weather makes wildlife easier to spot as animals congregate around water sources. This timeframe also coincides with the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras move through the Masai Mara, providing spectacular viewing opportunities.

January to March: Early in the year, particularly January and February, is also excellent for game viewing. The weather is generally dry, and the landscape is lush from the short rains in November and December. This is a great time to see newborn animals and enjoy less crowded parks.

Weather Considerations

December to March: These months typically feature warm weather with lower rainfall, making it ideal for both safaris and beach holidays along the coast. However, temperatures can be quite high, especially in February.

April to May: This period marks the long rainy season, with heavy rains that can make some roads impassable. However, the landscape becomes incredibly lush and green, providing beautiful scenery for photography. Crowds are thinner, and prices for accommodations may be lower during this time.

Beach Holidays

December to March: The coastal areas, including Mombasa and Diani Beach, are hot and humid year-round, but December to March is particularly pleasant for beach activities. The sea is clear, making it ideal for diving and snorkeling.
