The Best Time to Visit Kenya for Safari
Kenya experiences varied climate at different times of the year, with the main changes being the occurrence of short and long rains. The rains affect the movement and congregation of wildlife in the Safari parks, which will also affect your experience in the parks you choose to visit. Between January and June, Kenya’s destinations experience low numbers of tourists and the rates charged for accommodation and some park entrance fees are relatively low. The months between June and December mainly cover the peak safari season, a period marked by high visitor numbers in Kenya’s safari parks and reserves and also high entrance fees and accommodation rates. The peak safari season coincides with the Great Wildebeest Migration [occurring between July and October], which attracts a large number of visitors to the Masai Mara.
Choosing the best time to travel to Kenya for safari comes down to safari interest and the budget you have set for your safari [usually per person per day]. You can save more by traveling during the low season but also experience more if you choose to travel during the high season. An experienced safari operator will ensure you get a mix of all seasons by choosing the right destinations based on your interests and budget for the Kenya Safari.Top Wildlife Experiences on a Kenya safari
