When is the best time to go on a Kenya Safari?

Everyone says "dry season = best time." But the best time for you depends on who you are as a traveler, not just animal sightings.

We laid out the basics below and if you want to know more, and consider a different approach: start with questions about YOUR motivation for traveling, rather than timing.

Dry Season (July-Oct) — For the Data-Driven Planner

• Predictable wildlife, concentrated animals

• Not about missing something; about confidence and control

• Who this fits: Researchers, first-timers who want assurance, photographers

Green Season (Nov-May) — For the Transformation Seeker

• Lush landscapes, fewer tourists, birds arrive, baby animals born

• Less predictable but more intimate

• Who this fits: Professionals seeking reset, second-time visitors, those wanting solitude

Shoulder Seasons — For the Flexible Adventurer

• Best of both, fewer crowds, sweet spot pricing

• Requires flexibility

Your best time depends on what transformation you're seeking. Let's talk about timing that fits your needs.

Want more reading? What if your question isn't when, but whether going solo to Kenya is a good idea. Not only can I assure you that you'll have an amazing time and there's no one more trustworthy than Anthony, there's also some deeper psychology to a solo trip to Kenya.

We're also big advocates of traveling with us (duh!) because it's the ideal blend of a Pennsylvania native who has traveled to Kenya multiple times, and someone who has been guiding humans of every age, nationality, and ability for over 30 years. He knows what he's doing and here's why we advocate doing business with us as a team who has worked in Kenya, and traveled to Kenya multiple times.
