Kenya Safari in January

Kenya is famous for its different terrains and many animals, so it still offers a unique safari in the low season. January is considered part of the short dry season and some parts of the country receive rain here and there. Since there is still plenty of water, wildlife moves more freely, allowing bird enthusiasts to watch as well as finding newborn animals. Although the Maasai Mara is not as crowded as usual, it is still alive and the coast experiences mild weather and peaceful seas. In January, weather conditions are like this...

Kenya Safari in February

Since many young ones are with their parents at this time, a safari tour in February is a perfect opportunity to observe them. Rainy weather has made the area lush which can hide some animals, yet it gives birdwatchers an opportunity to see colorful migrating birds. Areas like Maasai Mara and Laikipia are home to many predators, plenty of animals for them to eat, whereas Kenya’s coast is marked by warm and sunny days. Rainfall becomes less in February which makes the skies clearer and temperatures more pleasant.

Kenya Safari in March

Visitors can enjoy seeing baby animals in Maasai Mara and elephants eating fruits that have fallen in Laikipia. Herbivores usually make their way to water which attracts predators, so you’re likely to spot game in such places. In Amboseli and Tsavo, numerous animals come to small water sources which provides great chances for safari viewing. In March, the weather gets warm and humid since the rains have begun to decline. Thunderstorms can happen in the afternoon, but they are usually short. In some far locations, lodges could remain closed because of tough driving conditions.

Kenya Safari in April

April marks a key transition as the long rains wind down and the landscape remains lush and vibrant. It’s Kenya’s shoulder season, with fewer tourists and flourishing vegetation making it ideal for birdwatching and wildlife viewing. Early mornings and late afternoons bring the best game drive opportunities to catch predators and prey in action. This dynamic time rewards those who bring binoculars and patience to fully appreciate the rich wildlife. Weather in April April...

Kenya Safari in May

As May arrives in Kenya, the safari season begins to pick up with the end of the long rains and greener landscapes. Visitor numbers are still moderate, making it a great time for those seeking a quieter, more intimate safari experience.

The scenery remains lush, and animals are becoming easier to spot as water sources start to concentrate. Weather in May Although temperatures begin to rise this month, the...

Kenya Safari in June

June marks the start of Kenya’s dry season, bringing cooler temperatures and clearer skies. Wildlife concentrates around shrinking water sources, making game viewing spectacular, especially in the Maasai Mara and Amboseli. The dry conditions also attract migratory birds, creating excellent birdwatching opportunities. This month is popular with travellers seeking classic safari experiences and pleasant weather.

The weather is typically dry and sunny, with crisp mornings and warm afternoons—perfect for early morning and late afternoon game drives. Coastal regions enjoy pleasant temperatures and calm seas, making it an ideal time for combining safari with beach relaxation. With the dry conditions and excellent visibility, August is favored by photographers and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Weather in August Expect...

The Great Migration reaches its peak, with vast herds crossing rivers and plains in dramatic fashion. Temperatures begin to rise, but the clear skies and dry conditions make for comfortable and enjoyable game drives.

Kenya Safari in October

October signals the transition from dry to wet season in Kenya, with occasional short rains refreshing the landscapes.

What You Need To Know About Kenya Safaris

Find everything you need to know to plan your Kenya adventure, from travel tips to essential insights for an unforgettable trip.

Kenya Food and Tipping Practices

Kenyan cuisine is a flavorful blend of local ingredients and cultural influences, with dishes like nyama choma (grilled meat), ugali, and samosas commonly enjoyed across the country. While tipping is not mandatory, it’s appreciated—10% is standard in restaurants, and a small gesture to guides, porters, or drivers is always welcome for good service.

Kenya Food and Tipping Practices

The cost of a Kenya safari varies depending on travel season, lodge type, and length of stay. Budget safaris start around $150 per day, while luxury experiences can exceed $1,000 per day. Peak seasons (July–October) tend to be more expensive, but offer exceptional wildlife viewing, including the Great Migration.

Cost of a Kenya Safari

Pack light, breathable clothing in neutral colors for safari, along with a good pair of walking shoes or boots. Don’t forget a sunhat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a pair of binoculars. A lightweight jacket is useful for chilly mornings, and a waterproof layer is handy during the rainy season.

Packing List for Kenya

Kenya is a multilingual nation where Swahili (Kiswahili) is the national language and English is the official language of instruction and government. Both are widely spoken, especially in urban and tourist areas, while more than 40 ethnic languages are used across different regions, reflecting the country’s rich cultural diversity.

Languages in Kenya

Kenya’s climate ranges from tropical along the coast to temperate in the highlands and arid in the north. The country experiences two rainy seasons—March to May (long rains) and October to December (short rains). Dry months, particularly from June to October, are ideal for wildlife viewing and safari travel.

Climate in Kenya

Kenya is generally safe for tourists, especially in well-traveled areas like national parks, beach resorts, and major cities. Like any destination, it’s important to stay informed, follow local advice, and take common-sense precautions. Traveling with a reputable tour operator enhances safety and ensures a smooth experience.
