Here are the Best Time to Visit Kenya for Every Type of Traveler 

1. Wildlife Enthusiasts (July to October)

The most favorable period to watch the wildlife is during the dry season, particularly in locations such as Maasai Mara. The vegetation is sparser, animals congregate at waterholes and provide superb visibility. The most well-known Great Migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras also occurs during July to October, when they cross rivers, which usually brings in predators. The safari drives during this period are full of action and suitable in sighting the Big Five.

2. Budget Travelers (March to May)

These are months of long rainy season in Kenya. Despite the fact that some regions may be rainy and muddy, accommodation and tour prices reduce greatly. The parks are less busy, and the travelers experience a more personal and peaceful time. This is a good time to visit Kenya and enjoy green sceneries without straining the pocket, especially in case you are comfortable with the occasional rain.

3.  Beach Lovers (December to March)

Kenya, especially Mombasa and Diani Beach are sunniest at this time of the year. The sky is clear, the waters are warm, and there is hardly any rain, it is time to relax at the beach.
