When to Go:

The main tourist season is in January and February, since the hot, dry weather at this time of year is generally considered to be the most pleasant. It's also when Kenya's birdlife flocks to the Rift Valley lakes in the greatest numbers. June to September could be called the 'shoulder season' as the weather is still dry. The rains hit from March to May (and to a lesser extent from October to December). During these months things are much quieter - places tend to have rooms available and prices drop. The rains generally don't affect travellers' ability to get around.Between 1st of April and 30th June it's tourism off season.

Events

Kenya's most spectacular annual event is organised by an unlikely group - wildebeests. Literally millions of these ungainly antelopes move en masse in July and August from the Serengeti in search of lush grass. They head south again around October. The best place to see this phenomenon is at the Masai Mara National Reserve.Maasai Mara National reserve has currently been picked as one of the seven wonders of the world. Kenya's more orthodox annual events include public holidays such as MADARAKA DAY (1st of June), Kenyatta Day (20 October) and Independence Day (12 December).
