Understanding Kenya’s Seasons

1. The Dry Season (June to October)

This is widely regarded as the best safari time in Kenya due to:

• Clear skies and little rainfall

• The Great Migration in Masai Mara National Reserve

• Excellent wildlife visibility as animals gather around waterholes

2. Short Rains (November to December)

A brief rainy season that offers:

• Beautiful green landscapes

• Fewer tourists

• Excellent bird watching opportunities

3. Long Rains (March to May)

While some areas may be difficult to access, this season offers:

• Dramatic thunderstorms and vibrant scenery

• Lower rates on many safari packages

• Fewer crowds in parks like Tsavo East National Park

---

Safari Destinations for Every Season

• Dry Season: Best for Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park, and Tsavo East National Park.

• Green Season: Ideal for Nairobi National Park, Samburu National Reserve, and bird watching excursions.

• Year-Round: Explore the coast with Safaris from Diani, Safaris from Mombasa, or Safaris from Watamu.
