FAQs
Best time to go to
The best time to visit Kenya is during the dry season, which typically runs from July to October. During this time, the game viewing is excellent, as animals tend to stay near water sources. This is also the ideal time to witness the wildebeest migration in the Maasai Mara. Temperatures are cooler during the dry season and coastal areas offer pleasant sunny weather. However, December to March is also an ideal time to visit; during this time there is a proliferation of baby animals and increased predator activity as well as migratory bird-watching opportunities. However, heavy rains between March and May can make road travel difficult.
