You can explore Kenya at any moment, but the best time to go will vary depending on your itinerary.

The dry season in Kenya, which runs from June to October, is the best time to visit the country for trekking. As animals tend to gather near water sources, spotting them becomes much easier when the weather is pleasant and the sky is clear. Millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles make the journey across the Mara River to the Maasai Mara National Reserve at this time of year in search of fresher grass.

There is no better season to visit Kenya than between November and April, when migrating birds are abundant. As thousands of flamingos and other birds migrate to Lake Nakuru National Park at this time of year, the park becomes a birdwatcher’s paradise.

You should visit Mount Kenya between the months of December and March, or between the months of June and October, as this is the arid season. Clearer skies and fewer showers make these months perfect for hiking and mountaineering.

Beachgoers should visit the coast of Kenya between the months of December and March, when the climate is humid and arid. The ocean is calmer and more pleasant for swimming, fishing, and diving at this time of year.

If you want to visit Kenya but are on a tighter budget, the months of April through June and November through the middle of December are considered low season. Because of the decrease in tourism during this time, accommodations, excursions, and flights can be more affordably priced.

In summation, there is no one “best moment” to visit Kenya; rather, it all depends on what you hope to see and do there. Nevertheless, visiting Kenya at any time of year will be an adventure you’ll never forget.
