When to visit Kenya

For the quintessential Kenyan overland tour and a chance to witness the Great Migration in the Masai Mara, plan your visit during the peak dry season from June to October. A fantastic alternative is the hot and dry period from January to March, which offers pleasant weather and is the best time for birdwatching. Travel during the rainy seasons (April-May and November-December) is more variable, but rewards visitors with lush landscapes and fewer tourists, though game viewing can be more challenging.
