Kenya
Kenya is the birthplace of the African safari and is still what many tourists picture when they think of when picturing Africa. The amazing wildlife and majestic landscapes served as the inspiration for Disney’s The Lion King and were the setting of stories such as Karen Blixen’s Out of Africa and many documentaries such as The Big Cat Diaries series.
The Masai Mara in Kenya is where the crocodile-infested Mara River flows, which the herds of the Great Migration must cross. Many tourists come to witness the drama of this annual event. Kenya’s many national parks and game reserves offer some of the best game viewing in Africa. Visitors can watch herds of big tusker elephants in Amboseli against the majestic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Off the Beaten Path
Explore off the beaten track in Tsavo which is known for its red coloured elephants and the legend of the Man-eating Lions of Tsavo. Discover the beauty of the Samburu people and unusual animals while exploring Samburu. Regions such as Laikipia are home to last Northern White Rhinos at Ol Pejeta as well as many private wildlife reserves which offer many varied safari experiences.
Tourists can descend into the Great Rift Valley and see the beauty of Lakes such as Lake Nakuru and Bogoria famed for their flamingos and other birdlife. Adventure seekers can climb Mount Kenya or cycle through Hells Gate National Park. Visitors can learn about traditional ways of life from the pastoral Maasai people with their red tartan cloaks.

Hidden Beaches
After an exciting safari, tourists can relax on the beach. Kenya has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world at places like Diani and Watamu. Tourists can relax on the beach, enjoy the warm waters of the Indian Ocean while swimming and during snorkelling excursions.

When is the best time to visit Kenya?
The best time to travel to Kenya depends on what you want to do during your trip. Kenya is considered a year-round destination for both safaris and beach holidays. Kenya has two historic wet seasons between April and June called the long rains and November to December called the short rains. The best times for safari are between January and March and July to October. However, January to March is a hot time of year to travel.
If you want to see the Great Migration in Kenya, the herds are generally in the Mara from August to October, but climate change has affected the rainfall patterns, and this has become more unpredictable.
The Kenyan coast can be visited all year round but from mid-March to the end of May you can expect rain on the coast and stronger winds so this is not the best time to visit the Kenyan coast.
What is the weather like in Kenya?
Kenya has a tropical climate, but the landscape differs hugely across the country though many areas are dry. The temperatures are affected by altitude, so on Mount Kenya and in the Aberdare’s, it can be much cooler. Nairobi lies at 1660m in altitude, so it is much cooler than in the Mara. From July – August it can be as cool as 5°C at night, even though daytime highs in the shade at that time of year easily exceed 21°C. On the coast such as in Mombasa temperatures rarely drop below 20°C.
Kenya has two historic wet seasons between April and June called the long rains and November to December called the short rains. January and March and July to October are warm and generally have no rain so this is when most visitors come on safari. However, January to March is a hot time of year to travel.
Embrace the Diversity
The diversity of game in Kenya is simply astounding. From the big five to the small five, Kenya’s game parks, reserves and other wildlife protection areas host some of the wildest game thus the reason why this is home for the safari. Dotted in their unique landscapes, geographical features, a vast array of game ensues. The icing on Kenya’s wildlife cake is the annual Wildebeest Migration at the infamous Maasai Mara migration between mid-August and late October. This is the best example of wild nature at its best as hundreds of thousands of wildebeests, zebras, Thomson’s gazelles, topi and elands.
