The best time to visit Kenya, especially for wildlife viewing, is during the dry season from June to October. This period offers optimal conditions for safaris, with easier wildlife spotting due to sparse vegetation and animals gathering around water sources. The famous wildebeest migration typically arrives in the Masai Mara in July or August, staying through September before moving back to Tanzania’s Serengeti in October. While wildlife viewing is excellent year-round, conditions may vary by park depending on rainfall. Additionally, the short dry spell in January and February is another great time to explore Kenya’s diverse landscapes and wildlife.

Best Time

June to October and January and February (All parks)

High Season

June to October and December to March (Some of the parks get very crowded, especially the Masai Mara, Amboseli and Lake Nakuru)

Low Season

April and May (Some lodges and camps in high-rainfall areas close down)

Best Weather

June to October (Little to no rainfall)

Worst Weather

March, April and May (Peak of the Wet season)

June to October

Dry Season

Wildlife is easier to spot because the bush is thin and animals gather around water

It's unlikely to rain – the days are sunny with clear skies

There are fewer mosquitoes

August to October are the best months to see the wildebeest migration

It gets very busy and crowded in the most popular parks

November to May

Dry Season

The scenery is beautiful and green

Rates drop because it's the low season

Newborn animals can be seen

Migratory birds are present from November to April

Except for March to May, rains are usually just short showers in the afternoon

During March to May the rains can be continuous

Some lodges and camps close down during part of the Wet season

Best Time To (Go by Major Park)

The Masai Mara National Reserve offers great wildlife viewing throughout the year. In the peak of the rainy season, most other
parks, especially in the highlands and along the coast, can be problematic with regards to heat, humidity and continuous rain.
Some of the lodges and camps close as a result. The dry months offer quality wildlife viewing throughout Kenya.
