Dry Seasons (June to October & January to February): June to October: This is the most popular time to visit Kenya, particularly for safaris. The weather is dry, making it easier to spot animals as they gather around water sources. This period also coincides with the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara, where millions of wildebeest and zebras migrate from the Serengeti in Tanzania to Kenya.
January to February: Another dry period with good wildlife viewing conditions. Animals are easier to see as they congregate in more predictable areas due to the scarcity of water.
July to October: This is the best time to witness the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara. The exact timing can vary, but typically, the wildebeest start arriving in the Mara in July and remain until October before heading back to the Serengeti.
November to April: During these months, Kenya becomes a haven for bird enthusiasts as migratory birds from Europe and North Africa arrive. This period coincides with the "short rains" (November to December) and the "long rains" (March to May), which make the landscape lush and green, providing excellent conditions for birdwatching.
December to March: This is the best time to visit Kenya's coast (e.g., Diani Beach, Malindi, Lamu) as the weather is warm and dry. The Indian Ocean is calm and clear, perfect for snorkeling, diving, and relaxing on the beach.
January to February & August to September: These are the best months for climbing Mount Kenya, as the weather is relatively dry, and the trails are more accessible.
March to May (Long Rainy Season): This is the low season in Kenya due to the heavy rains. While wildlife is still present, it can be harder to spot due to the lush vegetation. However, if you don’t mind the rain, this is a great time to enjoy quieter parks, lower rates, and lush green landscapes.
