There are some things you have to consider before deciding when to travel to Kenya<\/strong>. As far as the climate is concerned, this African country has different climatic varieties depending on the area. The altitude, the monsoon winds, or the humidity are factors to take into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to travel to Kenya<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Kenya there are clear climatic differences according to\nthe months: January and February, for example, have a dry climate with pleasant\ntemperatures. From March to May, the rain takes centre stage, just like from\nOctober to December. Summer is another thing, because between June and\nSeptember the climate is cooler and drier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the dry season (June to September), average\ntemperatures range between 23\u00baC and 28\u00baC. Depending on the altitude, the lowest\ntemperatures will occur in the high areas, such as the Masai Mara, and the\nhighest on the Kenyan coast. Of course, keep in mind that, in the night hours,\nespecially at dawn, the thermometer reads 10\u00baC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In humid months (from November to May), temperatures are\nhigher, reaching up to 30\u00baC in coastal areas. During November and December the\nrains are constant, but of short duration, and January and February are\nmiraculously dry months. From March to May the rains take centre stage,\nespecially in the high areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To summarise, we could say that if you don’t know when to\ntravel to Kenya, you should do so in January or February. However, everything\ndepends on the reason for your trip and the places you want to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to northern Kenya<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To discover a little-known area of Kenya, home of the\nSamburu and other Kenyan ethnic groups, you should know that it is a very arid\nregion. In the north the temperature will be between 20\u00baC and 40\u00baC depending on\nthe season, so it is best to visit it between November and December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The months of June, July and August are also a good time to\ntravel to Kenya because they coincide with the dry season, and although they\nmay seem warmer, in that region the temperatures are less high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to Mount Kenya<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you like adventure and your trip is motivated by a visit\nto the Natural Park of Mount Kenya, with its 5,199 metres of altitude, avoid\nthe rainy season. Keep in mind that the altitude reaches temperatures of -10\u00baC\nat night, so it is better to visit this place in the warm season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The months of January and February, as well as September\nand October, are the most recommended for hiking and to discover the wonders of\nthis national park, which has been declared a World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to Kilimanjaro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another treasure which Kenya is hiding is Kilimanjaro, with\nits 5,895 metres, a symbol of the Amboseli National Park. To enjoy all the\nbeauty of this natural park and its wildlife, the best time is between December\nand February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the Kilimanjaro can be climbed\nthroughout the year; although it is better to avoid the months of March to\nJune, because this is when more rains fall. Other perfect months to visit this\narea are between June and September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to the Kenyan coast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The beaches of Kenya also have a great attraction for\ntravellers: places like Watamu or Malinidi are little-known and worthy\nparadises to be visited. Also on the coast, you can visit the famous city of\nSwahili; for this, the best time is between December and March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to avoid the rains, don’t travel to the coast\nbetween April and March because, although the temperature remains pleasant, you\nwill not be able to bathe in the sea. October and November are also rainy, so\nthey would not be good months to enjoy this area of Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to travel to the Masai Mara<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Rift Valley is the paradise of big cats and the great\nherds of herbivores. To enjoy this spectacle of nature, the best months are\nJanuary and February, with optimal temperatures and no rain. Between July and\nOctober you can also visit this region, especially in August and September,\nwhen the Great Migration of animals takes place, a unique experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between March and May the rains become more present,\nalthough it is still possible to make safaris in the Masai Mara. Of course, the\nanimals will not be as visible as in the dry season; for this reason it is\nbetter to forget about these months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you still have doubts about when to travel to Kenya to\nvisit for example the Nakuru Lake National Park, the Turkana Lake, the Tsavo\nOccidental springs, or the Lamu archipelago, don’t think twice; January and\nFebruary are the perfect months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenya is much more than doing a safari, so any time is a\ngood time to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
