Visiting Kenya between the months of June to October is one of the most popular times to visit the country. It is the dry season, which also coincides with the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra, which usually reaches the Masai Mara National Reserve around September and remain until October when they move back to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. These are the best months to visit for wildlife viewing and virtually no rain and comfortable daytime temperatures.

The rainy season is also a good time to travel to Kenya resulting in fewer crowds, and lower off-season accommodation rates. December is a good month to travel when the rains are short, this is a good time to see the verdant vegetation of the country, and a chance to see newborn animals and migratory birds. The peak of the ‘long rains’ are in March, April, and May when it is very wet. The best time to visit for a Kenyan safari experience is between January to the end of March when the climate is mild and mostly dry. Game viewing this time of year is excellent.

The best time to visit the renowned beach destinations in Kenya is all year round, with a tropical climate, hot and humid weather is present year-round on the Indian Ocean coastline, and the water temperatures are in the mid-80s throughout the year. Kenya is split by the equator, so the climate varies based on this, temperatures are generally consistent throughout the country, with the coastal areas being hotter with humidity, and cooler temperatures towards the inland and the highest peak, Mt Kenya, which is always covered in snow.
