Book your trip of a lifetime hereWhen to go to Kenya
Kenya has a great climate for most of the year - warm temperatures and blue skies, with a cooling coastal breeze sweeping over from the Indian Ocean. From March to May, heavy rains turn the usually dry land into a lush, green paradise, and if the rains are late in March, incredible amounts of wildlife congregate around watering holes.
Kenya is home to the Great Migration of wildebeest between July to October. The coast of Kenya has a rainy season in April, May and June, with most resorts and businesses closing. The beaches are best between August and October, with December and January being high season.
