Best Time to Visit Kenya for a Family Safari.
Kenya is open all year round for safaris in terms of climate and the patterns of wildlife. Knowing the best times to visit makes it more rewarding. Here’s the rundown:
Dry Season: June to October
This is the best time of the year for game viewing, as waterholes become the congregation spots and vegetation is thin. This is also the period for the Great Migration at Masai Mara, offering an excellent opportunity for families with children to experience the migrating animals. The dry season is perfect for game drives and outdoor activities, with clear skies and little rain.
Short Rainy Season: November to December
The short rains bring lush greenery and fewer crowds, making it a great time for families who prefer a quieter safari experience. Wildlife is still abundant, and birdwatching is particularly rewarding during this period.
Long Rainy Season: March to May
While this is considered the low season because of heavier rains, it’s a great time for budget-conscious families. The parks are much less crowded, and the landscape is beautifully green. However, some areas will be harder to get into because of muddy roads.
Transition Periods: January to February
Ideal months for families to visit in search of warm weather and great wildlife viewing. Calving season occurs for most herbivores during these months, creating a unique opportunity to observe newborn animals and predator-prey interactions.
