Kenya is a year-round destination, but certain times of the year offer optimal wildlife viewing. To make the most of your safari experience, it’s essential to understand the different seasons and what they bring.
Peak Season (July to October): The Great Migration
The best time to visit Kenya is during the dry season from July to October, which coincides with the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara. This spectacular event sees over a million wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River in search of greener pastures, with predators like lions, leopards, and crocodiles waiting for their chance to hunt. The dry season ensures easier wildlife spotting, as animals gather around waterholes and rivers, making game drives more successful.
If you’re visiting during this period, the Maasai Mara is the top choice for your safari, offering unforgettable experiences of this natural wonder.

Low Season (November to May): Lush Landscapes and Baby Animals
The wet season from November to May is less crowded, with fewer tourists and lower prices, offering a more peaceful experience. While some areas might experience rain, this period also brings lush greenery, beautiful landscapes, and an abundance of newborn animals, making it ideal for photography and a quieter safari experience.
The wet season is perfect for visiting parks like Samburu, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru, where you’ll have the chance to see animals in their most vibrant environments and birdwatchers can enjoy flocks of migratory species.
