Best Time to Go to Kenya

Deciding when to go to Kenya is a perennial question for visitors. There’s no simple ‘best time to visit Kenya’ as good conditions vary across the country, and one person’s ideal weather will be another’s disappointment. Having said that, most visitors will find something positive about the weather throughout most of the year. Whatever the ambient temperature in the shade, when the sun is out – which is a good deal of the time, and often from dawn until dusk for weeks on end – it is always fierce: you’re on the equator, and you’ll know all about it if you neglect the sunscreen.

Sitting on the Equator, Kenya offers good conditions and comfortable year-round temperatures across the country, so it’s hard to define the ‘best time to visit Kenya’. That being said, there are particular months and areas that go hand in hand, offering exceptional safari and game viewing experiences.
