Climate in Kenya

KENYA enjoys one of the world's most pleasant climates year round. The daytime temperatures are normally in the high 70's to mid 80's and from the mid 50's to low 60's in the evenings and mornings. Southern and coastal Kenya tend to get much warmer, and can be very humid depending on the season. There are two rainy seasons but the sun shines throughout the year. Travel can sometimes be difficult during the long rainy season of April and May, but the short rains of November and December are fine for traveling, with short showers usually in the late evening.

THE BEST TIME TO GO - The best times for a safari to Kenya, are any months but mid-April and May, during the "big rains". If you want to see the "great migration", then its best to go on safari from August through October when the herds will be in the Maasai Mara. Wildlife migration patterns will fluctuate in most parks depending on the season and where the "food" is. For example in the dry season during July - September, large concentrations of elephants, head to Amboseli to get water from springs that originate from the snows of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
