A diverse geographical means a variable climate across the country Kenya is considered a year-round destination for both safaris and beach holidays. Most Kenya safari destinations are at their best between January and the end March; the climate is mild, mostly dry and game viewing is at its peak. Naturally, this time is considered as the best time to go to Kenya on safari but a rainy season visit, between mid- March to June and again between October and December, this is well worth considering in order to avoid the peak-season crowds and to take advantage of cheaper, off-season rates on accommodation and tours.
The best time to visit Kenya is during the dry season from late June to October (these are the best wildlife viewing months). The wildebeest migration usually reach the Maasai Mara National Reserve in August and remains until October when they move back to the Serengeti in Tanzania. Wildlife viewing is good year-round, but this can differ for some parks. The following months in Kenya shows you as you learn when to visit various national parks.
The best time to visit Kenya Beach destinations is amoot point: Kenya’s Indian Coast is hot and humid all year round and rain can fall at any time. We would however recommend avoiding the coast during the mid-March to late May season when the temperatures and rainfall are at their highest.

The Maasai 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 close as a result. The dry months offer quality wildlife viewing throughout Kenya national parks minus Maasai Mara, Amboseli national park, Lake Nakuru national park, Aberdare national park, Nairobi National Park, Tsavo national park and many more.
Apart from national parks in Kenya, the country is also visited because of the beach safari, this can be done best during October to January (especially November) is usually considered the best time to visit Kenya’s beaches as these months offer the best conditions for windsurfing, diving, snorkeling and many more. Then if you want an opportunity to see and swim with the whale sharks, then visit the Kenya coast between October and April, the best whale shark sightings occur between January and March.
