Whether it’s all about seeing the Big Five on safari, watching great wildebeest migration, an epic Mount Kenya hike,all of this – this guide will help you get your timing just right.it’s essential to be in the right place at the right time of year, depending on what you want to do and see on your Kenya safari.
For example, if you want to witness the great wildebeest migration crossing the crocodile infested Mara River in the Maasai Mara, you’ll need to visit between mid-July and mid-October.
If your dream is to combine an epic safari with a hike up Mount Kenya and some time relaxing on the beach, then either January, February or September would be the best months for you.
Seeing the Big Five (lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards and buffalos)
I’ve found that the best time for black rhinos is during January and February as the grass is lusher and thicker and so they can be found in the open feeding on this dense grass making them much easier to spot.
Hiking Mount Kenya:January, February mid march and September are the best, followed by June through August
