On safari, January marks the start of the short dry season, although timings can be unpredictable. Expect lush, green conditions and sightings of newborn animals. It is hot with passing clouds, but brief afternoon showers cool things down without compromising your safari. On the coast, it will be hot with sunny, bright days and clear waters.

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

On safari the short rains ease as we enter the short dry season, more so as the month goes on. By Christmas both the safari and beach conditions are good - you will need to book well in advance if travelling at this time of year, as it is popular, and know this is when prices peak.
