June to October – Peak Safari Season

These months offer Kenya's most famous wildlife spectacle—the Great Migration in Masai Mara National Reserve. Thousands of wildebeest and zebras move across the ecosystem, attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles. The weather is pleasant, making it ideal for game drives and outdoor family activities.

November to December – Green Season

The landscape becomes lush and beautiful after the short rains. This period offers excellent birdwatching, fewer visitors, attractive lodge rates, and wonderful photography opportunities. It is also popular for Christmas and New Year family holidays.
