Best Time to Visit Kenya

Kenya is a fantastic place to go on safari and beach vacations all year round, but the ideal time to go will depend on your interests and plans.

  • Peak Season (June to October and January to February): The best time to witness the Great Migration of wildlife and other animals in Masai Mara National Reserve is during the peak season, which runs from June to October and January to February. It's sunny and dry, and it's easy to see wildlife because they cluster near water sources. While walking up Mount Kenya, you may also take in the pleasant weather and unobstructed views. During this time of year, our Kenya packages are highly sought after, so reserve your spot in advance.

  • Shoulder Season (November to December and March to May): With less rain and heat than the rainy season, the shoulder season is a great time to take in Kenya's lush scenery and relax. At a cheaper cost than during the busiest time of year, you may see animals and migratory birds as well as take in Kenya's traditional festivals and events.

  • Waning Season (April and May): With pleasant temperatures and an interesting atmosphere, this is the quietest and wettest time of year to visit Kenya. Enjoy heartwarming views of colorful landscapes as you awaken to the soothing chirps of the birds. The off-peak months are ideal if you prefer to be in a calm and serene setting rather than among busy crowds.
