Named after the second-highest mountain in Africa, Kenya also casually walks away with the title of the Safari Capital of the World. Apart from being home to the greatest show on earth, the Wildebeest Migration on the Masai Mara, it also conjures up images of vast, endless plains, giraffe-necks sailing through a backdrop of a fiery sunsets, cheetahs hurtling, antelopes dancing, lions marauding and massive tuskers elbowing everyone out of the way. Go sailing on Lake Victoria, the largest in the world whose pristine waters feed the mighty Nile. Or hang with the Masai hunters and learn all about their fascinating culture.
Peak Season Description:
The iconic and awe-inspiring Wildebeest Migration happens from July October, the king of bucket-list experiences. To avoid disappointment, book at least 8 months in advance. Coastal areas fill up fast as well, as do safaris all over the country because of crisp dry weather. Don't be caught napping on this one.
Shoulder Season Description:
A few thundershowers, but nothing that keeps tourists away. Prices will fall, but advance reservations for lodges/camps/hotels are still imperative. Great time to visit as this is the season of the ‘other Great’ - the calving; seeing the young ones in the wild will offer incredible experiences, accompanied with moderate pricing: the perfect match. A dream season for wildlife photographers.
Low Season Description:
April and May see some rains that leads to lush green landscapes almost all over. Due to low frequentation, this season offers super value pricing and the joys of having the wilderness almost to yourself.
