Kenya

We are still in the short dry season with higher temperatures, little rain and a sunny coastline. A lovely time to travel.

The end of March sees the arrival of the long rains. The time of their arrival can be a little unpredictable.

The long rains reach full flow. We advise against travel at this time of year.

A slightly unpredictable month where you can expect great weather and rain rolled into one.

June is a transition month that sees dry weather return on safari with good game viewing. However, June is wetter month on the coast and not suitable for beach holidays or underwater activities.

The long dry season is in full flow and the first herds of The Great Migration enter the Masai Mara from Tanzania. Temperatures are pleasant and conditions for game viewing are perfect. A great time to be on safari.

The migrating herds fill the Masai Mara. Dry conditions and pleasant temperatures make for superb game viewing. The perfect time for a holiday with virtually no rain.

Another dry season month as temperatures start to rise. The Great Migration herds graze in the Masai Mara and game viewing remains excellent across Kenya's National Parks.

The last month of the dry season. Temperatures start to rise and wildlife gathers round scarce water sources. Conditions on the coast are excellent for exploring reefs as the diving season resumes.

November heralds the start of the 'short rains' with hotter temperatures. Some camps across Kenya are closed, but the Masai Mara remains open and and despite occasional stormy skies, the game viewing is still very good. Fewer crowds and lower prices make this an attractive month to visit.

The short rains ease as the month goes on and the landscape is verdant with wildlife and abundant with birds. The Kenyan Coast is the perfect Christmas destination with hot sunny days.
