The weather across the country is flexible, this Kenya to be is considered the year-round destination for both safaris and beach holidays, however, most Kenya safari destinations are at their best between January and the end of March; the climate is mild, mostly dry and game viewing is at its peak. Naturally, this time is considered the best time to travel to Kenya for safari. But this is also the most crowded period and the prices are quite high.

Rainy season is between mid-Marche to June and again between October and December, this period is well worth considering in order to avoid the peak-season crowds and to take advantage of cheaper, low -season rates on accommodation and tours.

In case your trip is considering the best time for the Masai Mara wildebeest migration, then go between mid-August and late October when the herds have returned from their months in Tanzania’s Serengeti.

And if you’re focusing on visiting the Kenya beach destinations we recommend you avoid rainy season which is mid-March to early June

Our Kenya tours and safaris programs are chosen to inspire and illustrate how top attractions work together in an itinerary
