Safari Through the Seasons
JAN–MAR
Warm & Dry
Generally warm, dry conditions provide excellent game viewing, with wildlife gathering around water sources across the conservancy.
APR–MAY
Green Season
Long rains create lush scenery, dramatic skies and quieter game drives, although occasional heavy showers can affect road conditions.
JUN–OCT
Cool Dry Season
Cooler mornings and dry conditions provide reliable wildlife viewing, excellent photography and comfortable full-day conservation experiences.
NOV–DEC
Short Rains
Brief seasonal showers refresh the grasslands, attract migrant birds and create vivid landscapes beneath Mount Kenya.

Every season offers a different way to experience East Africa, from dramatic wildlife encounters and seasonal movements to lush landscapes and quieter safari moments.
