Best Time To Visit Kenya

Best Time for a Kenya safari holiday

Kenya is a year-round destination, with good game viewing throughout the year. For the best time to visit Kenya, you’ll probably want to visit between July and October, when the great annual wildebeest migration is in full swing – a truly magical spectacle. If you are looking to visit Kenya during the warmer summer months then you’ll want to visit between December and March.

Due to Kenya’s equatorial setting, the country enjoys year-round warm weather and relatively low annual rainfall. However, with a range of altitudes and the country’s two rainy seasons, it is possible you will experience some variation depending on when and where you visit. The temperatures vary greatly from Nairobi to Laikipia, and from Nakuru to the coastal regions.

Kenya experiences a short wet burst in November and December, but the primary wet season comes from March to May. While the shorter rains in November and December can still be an excellent time to visit Kenya, travel to the country is best avoided during the long wet season from March to May.

The rains at that time can be relentless, obscuring visibility and making trails in the national parks challenging to navigate. Humidity is also very high. In addition, many safari camps close up shop at this time of year.

Is Africa your dream holiday destination? Cheetah Safaris offers customized African Safaris from the United Kingdom. 

The word Safari is a Swahili word meaning journey. Today’s safari is an occasion to see but not harm the local wildlife, experience the local people’s traditions, and make endless lifetime experiences. This can be experienced on an African safari by staying in upscale lodges as well as on less expensive safari camps.

We are keen on building a perfect safari for you but one you can afford. Our focus is always drawn on sustainable safaris, boosting community activities, and impacting locals to improve safaris for the future.
