When to Go to Kenya
The best time to visit Kenya is during the dry season, from July to October. For safaris, the annual migrations happen during that time so wildlife spotting is at its best. If you travel to Kenya during the summertime (December to March) visit the coast or local villages, since the temperatures will be more forgiving. Check with government websites and be aware when it is safe to travel to Kenya. Some areas close to other countries have a history of violent conflict; it’s best to be informed before booking your trip.
