Best Time for This Kenya Safari

June to October

This is one of the most popular periods for a Kenya safari, with generally dry conditions and good wildlife visibility. The Maasai Mara can also experience the annual wildebeest migration during this period.

January to March

These months offer generally favorable wildlife viewing, green landscapes and excellent opportunities for photography. Calving activity in the wider Mara-Serengeti ecosystem can also attract predators.

November to December

The short rains can bring greener landscapes, dramatic skies and fewer visitors in some areas.

Important: Wildlife and migration movements are influenced by rainfall and seasonal conditions, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.
