Kenya Tours Itinerary Ideas

A safari in Kenya can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. All excursions begin with your arrival in Nairobi, and the majority of them require an overnight stay in one of the city’s hotels.

The Masai Mara, home to the annual wildebeest migration as well as outstanding year-round game watching, is the first stop on any Kenya safari itinerary.

Amboseli National Park, which is perhaps best known for its postcard views of Mount Kilimanjaro, comes in second. The private conservancies of Mount Kenya and the Laikipia Plateau, which provide excellent game watching and multi-activity safaris, are quickly capturing the attention of safari-goers.

With its own gleaming Indian Ocean coastline, combining a Kenya safari with a beach vacation is as easy as taking a short plane ride and transferring to a minibus. Combination safaris to Kenya and Tanzania are also available, ensuring you see the finest of East Africa.

BEST TIME TO SEE THE MIGRATION SAFARIS IN KENYA

Kenya has diversified geography, which results in a varying regional climate, yet it is widely recognized as a year-round vacation destination. However, if you want to see the wildebeest migration, enjoy the greatest beach weather, or swim with whale sharks, you’ll need to schedule your trip around the seasons.

Kenya’s prime safari season, which runs from January to March, is ideal for comfort and wildlife viewing. It’s hot, generally dry, and sunny, with a lot of animals congregating around water. Because visitor numbers are high – particularly in popular parks – it’s worth considering an out-of-season safari to avoid the crowds.

During the ‘long rains’ of late March to June and the ‘short rains’ of October to December, Kenya’s safari sites turn verdant and leafy. It’s ideal for photography, and you’ll save money on lodging and tours during the off-season.

The wildebeest begin to arrive in the Masai Mara in late July, and this is the greatest time to witness the herds crossing crocodile-infested waterways. It is, nevertheless, a very popular travel season, so plan ahead! The wildebeest linger in the Masai Mara until the short rains send them south into the Serengeti, but because to its rich and abundant wildlife, ‘the Mara’ is worth visiting at any time of year.

All year long, visitors to Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast and islands may expect hot and humid weather. Rain can rain at any time, but it is most common between the middle of March and the end of May. Between October and January, the ideal diving and snorkeling conditions exist (especially November). Those interested in swimming with whale sharks should travel to Kenya between October and April when these gentle giants migrate along the coast.
