While certain times of the year offer unique experiences (such as the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara during July to October), Kenya’s diverse wildlife and landscapes make it a great destination for safaris throughout the year. Each season brings its own highlights and wildlife behaviors.

During this period, animals congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. Additionally, the vegetation is less dense, providing better visibility.
