Best Time to Go on Safari in Kenya

Timing is crucial. Kenya offers year-round safari opportunities, but the best time to go depends on your preferences:

Dry Season (June to October)

• Prime for wildlife viewing—animals gather near waterholes.

• Ideal for witnessing the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara.

• Less vegetation makes it easier to spot animals.

This season is perfect for our Kenya Air Safaris, offering aerial views of wildlife-packed landscapes.

Wet Season (November to May)

• Beautiful green landscapes, fewer tourists.

• Excellent for birdwatching with migratory species.

• Short rains (Nov-Dec) are mild, while long rains (Mar-May) can hinder road travel.
