January
After the rainfall in November and early December, the dry sunny days of January are perfect for a safari in Kenya through the legendary Maasai Mara, home to the Big Five. As a popular season to travel, we recommend booking your Kenya holiday several months in advance.
February
With the dry season in full swing, February is one of the best months for Kenya safari holidays. Most of the iconic wildlife such as elephants and zebras can be spotted gathering close to the water sources.
July
July is perfect for Kenya safaris through the untamed wilderness of the Laikipia Plateau or a trip to see the thunderous annual migration of wildebeest to the fresh feeding grounds of the Maasai Mara.
August
The river crossings are at their most spectacular in August as countless herds of wildebeest and zebra leap into the Mara and Talek River for migration. With August being a popular month, we suggest planning your holidays to Kenya in advance.
September
The weather remains dry across Kenya in September and as we make our way out of the high season, there are fewer visitors for African safari holidays. Extraordinary wildlife encounters are still available in the Maasai Mara with herds breaking into smaller groups and feasting on the fresh grass.
October
As the last month of the dry season, visiting the Maasai Mara in October for a Kenya safari is ideal for avoiding the crowds and still being able to view the remarkable resident animals.
December
Following the short rainfall in November and early December, Kenya is flourishing with lush greenery, clear blue skies and plenty of wildlife on and flying over the plains.
