Planning Your Safari

Essential answers to help you plan the perfect trip

Best Time to Visit

Kenya offers incredible wildlife year-round, but the dry seasons — July to October and January to February — deliver the best game viewing. The Great Migration in the Maasai Mara peaks July through October. For fewer crowds and great value, visit during the green season (March to May).
