Whether this is your first safari, or you’ve been on several, Kenya is an excellent area to photo hunt and wildlife. The Masai Mara National Reserve and adjoining conservancies are popular destinations for big cat sightings and the yearly wildebeest migration. However, Kenya offers multiple world-class parks to visit, and it’s also a great spot to unwind on a beach vacation after your safari.
About Kenya
Kenya, the origin of safari, is a world-class wildlife destination that is recommended for both seasoned safari travelers and those planning their first safari. The world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve provides exceptional big cat experiences and serves as the site of the annual wildebeest and zebra migration. Following an exciting safari, palm-lined beaches are the ideal location to relax.
Visiting Kenya during the safari season offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Here are some reasons why:
Wildlife Viewing: The dry seasons in Kenya, generally from June to October and from December to March, are usually the best for game viewing.
Animals are easier to spot as they gather around water holes.
The Great Migration: If you visit between July and September, you can witness the spectacular wildebeest and zebra migration in the Maasai Mara.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle that attracts visitors from around the world.
Weather: Kenya enjoys year-round warm weather, but the dry seasons offer comfortable conditions with sunny days and cool evenings.
Baby Wildlife: If you visit between January and February, you can witness the presence of baby wildlife.
In Maasai Mara and Amboseli National Reserves, you can encounter adorable baby elephants, lion cubs, baby zebra, and more.
Affordability: The wet season, from November through to May, is technically the low safari season, so rates are much more affordable.
Remember, the best time for you to visit Kenya largely depends on what you want to see and your personal preferences.
So, this safari season, consider a trip to Kenya for an adventure filled with natural beauty and thrilling wildlife encounters when you book your Safari with Goldstep Safaris.
