Kenya
WHEN TO TRAVEL?
Kenya has little seasonal fluctuation in temperature, however the year can be divided into two distinct wet seasons. From late March to May the long rains occur. These can last several days and so we would advise against travel during this time. The shorter rains take place during November and generally last only an hour or two each day. The remaining months are warm and dry making them perfect for travel and game viewing.
The spectacular view of the wildebeest migration into the Masai Mara from the Serengeti takes place annually during mid August to mid October and so is a particularly good time to travel, though National Parks do inevitably get busy.
With world famous national parks hosting spectacular wildlife, highland deserts, glaciated mountain peaks and a coral fringed coastline, Kenya is a wonderfully diverse destination offering a wealth of travelling experiences. Enriching any big game spectacle is the visible reminder of the ancient culture of the tribes people who live today as they always have, welcoming guests with a friendly smile and a “jambo!”
