Kenya

Temperatures remain high and wildlife gathers round available water sources; another great month for game viewing. Days on the coast remain sunny.

Good game visibility at the beginning of the month when plains are at their driest. The end of March sees the arrival of the green season 'long rains'.

‍

The start of the green season; grasses and wildflowers shoot up during the long rains. Temperatures start to drop.

‍

Heavy rainfall makes game viewing challenging and reduces vehicle access. The landscape is dominated by lush, green vegetation.

The dry weather returns, temperatures are pleasant and humidity low. Although grasses are high, making game trickier to spot at times, it's a great month to travel.

The beginning of the Great Migration as the first herds enter the Maasai Mara from Tanzania. Temperatures pleasant and good conditions for game viewing.

Migrating herds fill the Maasai Mara; dry conditions and pleasant temperatures make for superb game viewing. The perfect time for beach holidays with low humidity and virtually no rain.

‍

Another dry season month. The Great Migration herds graze in the Mara Reserve and game viewing is excellent across Kenya's parks.

‍

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

The start of the short rains and the shoulder season; prices are lower and visitors numbers smaller. Still good game viewing, although spotting wildlife becomes harder as the month progresses.

The short rains end mid month, the landscape is verdant and abundant with birds. Temperatures rise as the month progresses and January's dry conditions are just around the corner. Kenya makes perfect Christmas/New Year destination.
