When visiting Kenya, planning your trip around the dry season is key. From June to October, there will be little rainfall and wildlife is easier to spot due to the bush being less dense.

During this time, wildlife swarms the watering holes, and you’ll be in time for the Great Migration! Each year, over a million wildebeest and other animals make their way across the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya.

However, traveling to Kenya during the wet season, from November to May, is the best time to find cheap deals. With less than perfect weather and fewer tourists, you’ll find plenty of discounts on flights, accommodation, and activities. If you’re planning a safari, keep in mind, that from March to May some lodges will shut down because of the rain.
