Kenya is one of Africa’s finest safari destinations!
Kenya is one of Africa’s finest safari destinations – there’s a little something for everyone. Epic animal migrations? You’ve come to the right place. Stargazing? Absolutely. Fine dining with a view of some of Africa’s most incredible vistas. Of course. Here’s why there’s never a bad time to visit:
☀️January to March sees the skies begin to clear, with remarkable views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, and high temperatures throughout the day and night. Often referred to as the ‘secret quiet time’ in the Mara, safari drive conditions are ideal and ensure plentiful sightings of predator and prey interactions as well as the opportunity to spot baby animals.
🐘 The long rains and pleasant temperatures arrive from April to June, providing beautiful emerald scenery and atmospheric skies that are ideal for landscape photography. Known as ‘the time of plenty’ in Kenya, guests can witness the Loita resident migration and peak elephant breeding season, as well as the stunning breeding displays of widowbirds.
🐃 Those wishing to see the famed wildebeest migration should choose to travel from July to September, with river crossings peaking in August and early September. Cooler temperatures and low grass make for exceptional viewing with enhanced visibility, and the hides at Ol Donyo Lodge become a hive of activity as the best time to see the area’s famed big tusker elephants.
🌼 Flower lovers and bird watchers will be spoilt with viewing opportunities during October to December, as temperatures begin to elevate and the short rains begin. This time also marks the beginning of the antelope breeding season, with many babies and predator/prey interactions to be seen. By December, guests can expect occasional stunning lightning displays and thunderstorms, providing incredible scenery photography. October is arguably the best time to see Ol Donyo Lodge’s big tuskers before the onset of the short rains.
