Create your own safari
Kenya really is the land of plenty and seems to have it all when it comes to safaris, beach breaks and culture. With the game rich plains of the Masai Mara, foothills of Mount Kenya and the turquoise waters of the coast these diverse habitats provide the perfect holiday destinations for families, couples and single travellers alike with activities to keep everyone entertained.
The best time to visit Kenya is from June to October when there’s virtually no rain and daytime temperatures are not too hot. However, with a diverse geography and a moderate climate, Kenya is considered a great year-round safari and beach holiday destination.
Visas are required by most visitors to Kenya including British, American, Canadian, European, Australian and New Zealand passport holders. Citizens from some smaller Commonwealth countries are exempt.
Visas are valid for three months from the date of entry and can be purchased upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Visitors can pay for their visas in local currency and they must possess a passport that is valid until six months after the initial date of travel.
If you plan on travelling onwards from Kenya, visas for other East African countries such as Tanzania and Uganda can generally be obtained in Nairobi for around US$50 each.
Kenya is divided by the equator and enjoys a mostly tropical climate with regional variances. Kenya has two rainy seasons and two dry seasons spread throughout the year – all of which have their own charm and of course, unique conditions. Depending on when you choose to visit, what you decide to wear on safari in Kenya can make all the difference between a pleasurable experience and a rather uncomfortable one. However, regardless of which time of the year you embark on your safari, you’re guaranteed to make memories that will last a lifetime.
Dry Seasons: June – October & January – February
Safaris in Kenya are often more popular during the drier months where rainfall is less frequent, and animals flock to the watering holes for a source of hard-to-find refreshment – making them more visible. It’s for these reasons that the dry seasons are widely viewed as the best time to visit Kenya, both for open-air vehicle safaris and immersive walking safaris offered by a selection of lodges.
Rainy Seasons: March – May & November – December
Kenya’s wet months are split into the ‘long rains’ which take place from about mid-March to May (with the wettest month usually being April), and the ‘short rains’ taking place from November to December. A rainy season visit is well worth considering to avoid the peak-season crowds and to take advantage of cheaper, off-season rates on accommodation and
