Best Time to Visit Kenya (2026/2027/2028)
The best time to visit Kenya for the Great Migration is July to October, when wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River in Masai Mara National Reserve. For fewer crowds and lush green scenery, visit during the January–March calving season.
| Season & Months | Highlights | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| July–October | Great Migration, river crossings, predator action | Photographers, migration-focused safaris |
| January–March | January to March brings generally warm, dry conditions, good wildlife viewing and excellent opportunities to see resident animals with their young. The famous concentrated wildebeest calving season, however, occurs mainly in Tanzania’s southern Serengeti and Ndutu region. | Families, nature lovers |
| April–June | Green season, fewer tourists, lower prices | Budget travelers, birdwatchers |
| November–December | Short rains, fresh greenery, baby animals | Romantic trips, cultural add-ons |

Kenya Safari Planning and Booking Information
Good preparation helps ensure a smooth Kenya safari. The following information covers the main booking, entry and travel arrangements.
When Should You Book?
Book 6–12 months ahead for July–October, Christmas and New Year travel. For other periods, booking three to six months in advance normally provides a better choice of accommodation.
Deposit and Payment
A 30% deposit confirms your reservation, with a further 30% due 21 days before travel. The remaining balance is payable before departure or upon arrival, as stated in your invoice. Bookings made within 21 days require a 40% deposit. Card payments attract a 3.8% processing fee.
Kenya Entry Requirements
Travellers should confirm whether they require an Electronic Travel Authorisation and apply only through the official Kenya eTA website. Entry rules and exemptions can change, so check the requirements before departure.
Flights and Airport Transfers
Most Kenya tours begin in Nairobi, with collection available from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Wilson Airport or your Nairobi hotel. Domestic flights can be included for fly-in safaris and coastal extensions.
Travel Insurance
Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended. Your policy should cover medical treatment, emergency evacuation, cancellation, baggage loss and activities included in your itinerary.
Health Preparation
Consult your doctor or an authorised travel-health clinic regarding vaccinations, malaria prevention and personal medication. Health requirements may depend on your nationality and previous travel route.
Safari Baggage
Pack soft-sided luggage, particularly when using domestic bush flights. Many services permit approximately 15 kg of checked luggage plus 5 kg of hand luggage, but limits vary by airline.
Dietary and Special Requirements
Vegetarian, halal and other dietary requirements can be arranged with advance notice. Tell us about allergies, mobility considerations or special occasions before confirming your safari.
