Kenya experiences varied weather conditions throughout the year. Most of the Parks and Reserves, with the exemption of mountain and forests parks, are located in areas that predominantly experience dry, warm to hot conditions.
Generally the climate is warm and humid at the coast, cool and humid in the central highlands, and hot and dry in the north and east. These climatic variations are due to differences in topography across the country. Our Parks and Reserves offer year round attractions and activities to suite your interest and schedule. However, there are two distinct tourist seasons, which generally correspond to local climatic conditions;
High season: – July-December and December to March, these are the best months to visit our parks for wildlife viewing and other activities. (Easy wildlife viewing because of short grasses in the parks, plenty of food for wildlife, good sunny climate)
Low Season: April-June. Long rains are experienced during this time. Most park roads may require use of 4-wheel-drive vehicles.
