Best Time to Visit Kenya for a Safari: Month-by-Month Travel Guide
Planning your Kenyan safari? One of the most common questions we get at Zee Afri Tours is: When is the best time to visit Kenya for a safari? The truth is — Kenya is a year-round destination, but the experience changes depending on the month, season, and region. Here’s your month-by-month travel guide to help you decide the perfect time for your adventure.
✅ January – February: Dry Season & Great Wildlife Views
These months are part of the short dry season. Animals gather around waterholes, making wildlife viewing in parks like Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Samburu incredibly rewarding. It's also a great time for birdwatching due to migratory species.
🌤 Weather:
- Sunny and warm during the day
- Cool evenings, low chance of rain
📌 Where to Go:
- Maasai Mara for big cats
- Lake Nakuru for flamingos
- Amboseli for elephants and Kilimanjaro views
✅ March – May: Long Rains & Low Tourist Crowds
This is the rainy season in Kenya. Some areas may be muddy, but this time of year offers lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and lower prices — ideal for budget travelers or photographers.
🌧 Weather:
- Heavy rains, especially in April
- Beautiful green scenery
💡 Tip:
It’s a good time to visit parks with better roads like Lake Naivasha, Tsavo East, or Nairobi National Park. Safari lodges often offer discounts during this season.
✅ June – October: Peak Season & Great Migration
This is considered the best time to visit Kenya for a safari. The long dry season begins in June, and by July the Great Wildebeest Migration is in full swing in the Maasai Mara. Wildlife is abundant, roads are dry, and skies are clear.
🌞 Weather:
- Dry, sunny, and cool (especially July – August)
- Little to no rainfall
📌 Must-Visit:
- Maasai Mara – Migration & Big 5
- Ol Pejeta – Rhinos & chimpanzees
- Meru National Park – Less crowded, lush and wild
⚠ High Demand:
This is peak season — book your safari with Zee Afri Tours early to secure your preferred camps and lodges.
✅ November – December: Short Rains & Baby Animals
Light rains return in November, but they’re usually short and followed by sunshine. December is a favorite time for holiday travelers. The landscape is green, and many animals give birth during this season — making for spectacular wildlife scenes.
🌿 What to Expect:
- Fewer crowds in November
- Young animals and predator activity
📌 Summary: Best Time by Safari Interest
| Safari Goal | Best Months |
|---|---|
| Wildebeest Migration (Maasai Mara) | July to October |
| Big 5 Game Viewing | June to October, Jan–Feb |
| Birdwatching | October to April |
| Budget Travel / Fewer Tourists | March to May, November |
| Photography / Landscapes | Green seasons (April, Nov) |
🎯 Final Thoughts: When Should You Visit Kenya?
There’s no bad time to visit Kenya — just different safari styles for different seasons. For wildlife intensity and migration, go in July–October. For fewer crowds and green beauty, visit in April or November.

How to Plan a Maasai Mara Safari from India — Complete Guide
Everything Indian travellers need to know to plan a smooth, memorable Maasai Mara safari — flights, visas, when to go, sample itineraries, food & cultural tips, and how Zee Afri Tours helps every step of the way.
Why Maasai Mara is ideal for Indian travellers
The Maasai Mara is one of Africa's most famous wildlife regions — renowned for big cat sightings, huge herds of wildebeest during the Great Migration, and scenic luxury camps. Indian travellers love the Mara for its wildlife, photogenic landscapes, and availability of comfortable lodges that can cater to vegetarian and Indian-style meals.
1. Flights & best routes from India
Most visitors fly from major Indian hubs (Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai) to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi. There are no direct nonstop flights from India to Nairobi in all cases; common routings include one-stop flights via Dubai (Emirates), Doha (Qatar Airways), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines), or Nairobi via other Gulf carriers. Compare total travel time and layovers when booking.
- Typical flight time (one-stop): ~10–14 hours total travel time.
- Tip: look for flight deals during India's travel sale seasons (e.g., Diwali, summer holidays).
2. Visa & entry requirements for Indian passport holders
Indian citizens usually require an eVisa to enter Kenya. Apply via the official Kenya eVisa portal before travel. You will need:
- Valid passport (at least 6 months validity)
- Return or onward flight ticket
- Proof of accommodation (booking confirmation from the lodge/camp)
Pro tip: We at Zee Afri Tours can provide the invitation/booking confirmations required for visa applications. Ask us when you book.
3. Best time to visit
Two popular seasons:
- Great Migration (Jul–Oct): Best for river crossings and large wildebeest herds.
- Short rains / quieter season (Nov–May): Fewer tourists, fresh scenery, good for birdwatching.
4. Sample itineraries
- Day 1: Fly/drive from Nairobi to Maasai Mara, afternoon game drive.
- Day 2: Full-day game drives (optional picnic or balloon safari).

Let us know your travel dates and preferences and we will give a customized INR or USD quote including park fees, transfers, accommodation, and meals.

Many Kenyan lodges welcome vegetarian and Indian-style meals when requested in advance. When you book, tell us your dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, Jain, no onion/garlic) and we’ll coordinate with the lodge chef. Carry some familiar snacks and masala sachets if you prefer.
7. Health & safety
- Yellow fever certificate: not usually required for travellers from India unless transiting from a yellow-fever country — check current rules.
