Best time to visit Kenya
Kenya has a pleasant climate all year long with two rainy seasons.
The dry months of July and August are the best time to travel to Kenya due to the pleasant weather and the green landscape resulting from the heavy rainfall of the previous months. For those looking to avoid both the peak crowds and the rainy season, January and February offer ideal conditions for a safari.
