  • What is the best time of year to visit Kenya?

    The best time to visit depends on your priorities. The dry season (June to October) is generally ideal for wildlife viewing, with clearer skies and easier game spotting. The shoulder seasons (March-May and November-December) offer a balance of good weather and fewer crowds.
