Kenya Safaris, Tours & Holidays
Kenya is a country with a coastline on the Indian Ocean. It encompasses Savannah, Lake Lands, the dramatic Great Rift Valley and mountain highlands. It’s also home to wildlife like lions, elephants and rhinos. From Nairobi, the capital, safaris visit the Maasai Mara Reserve, known for its annual wildebeest migrations, and Amboseli National Park which offers spectacular views of Tanzania’s 5,895m Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Kenya is a year-round safari destination. It is busy during the dry season from June to October, when the sparse vegetation and limited water causes the game to gather around water, making them easy to find and view. However, this is the most crowded and busy time to go on safari, especially in the Masai Mara from the latter half of August to October, when the Great Migration usually arrives.
While the Masai Mara boasts incredible year-round wildlife, the Great Migration is invariably a huge highlight for visitors. The peak season for Migration sightings in Kenya is considered to be between June and October and you are more likely to see river crossings during this time. However, Migration is a year-round phenomenon and you are likely to see large herds of wildebeest at any time of year. There are far fewer visitors outside of peak season and sightings tend to be more leisurely and exclusive.
Please remember that the movements of the Migration are affected by the weather and may vary widely from year to year. The movement of the herds depends on the arrival of the rains and the animals may cross back and forth between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara.
