Kenya and Tanzania Safari Guide Month-by-Month

Pick for January

January delivers outstanding safari conditions with lush landscapes, pleasant weather, and exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities during calving season.

January experiences moderate to high tourist traffic. Photography conditions are outstanding with clear skies, lush landscapes, and extraordinary predator-prey action. January suits wildlife photographers, first-time safari-goers seeking guaranteed spectacular viewing, and families with winter school break constraints.

Weather and Conditions

Kenya’s shorter dry season brings predominantly sunny days with minimal rainfall. Comfortable temperatures range from 25-30°C during the day and 12-18°C at night across most safari regions. Recent rains have greened the landscape without creating muddy conditions, providing ideal game drive surfaces with excellent visibility.

Wildlife Highlights

The calving season creates spectacular predator-prey interactions as newborn wildebeest and zebra calves attract lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Resident wildlife remains highly visible across all parks, with big cats actively hunting and elephant family groups congregating near water sources. Amboseli National Park excels with large elephant herds and clear Kilimanjaro views, while Lake Nakuru offers impressive flamingo populations and excellent birding opportunities.

Crowds and Costs

January experiences moderate to high tourist traffic from European winter holidaymakers. Accommodation pricing remains at high-season levels, particularly during the first two weeks, before transitioning toward shoulder season rates. Book premier lodges 2-3 months in advance for the best availability.

January offers one of Tanzania’s most extraordinary wildlife spectacles—the wildebeest calving season in the southern Serengeti, when hundreds of thousands of calves are born within a concentrated period, attracting predators and creating unforgettable safari moments.

January sits within Tanzania’s shorter dry season, offering favorable weather with warm temperatures (25-30°C) and minimal rainfall. The landscape is lush and green from December’s short rains, creating vibrant scenery perfect for photography. The southern Serengeti plains around Ndutu host approximately 500,000 wildebeest calves born within a 2-3 week window. This synchronized birthing attracts massive predator numbers—lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas converge on calving grounds, creating constant dramatic interactions. The flat plains offer outstanding visibility with concentrated herds relatively stationary.

January experiences moderate to high tourist traffic, particularly at Ndutu. Booking 2-3 months in advance is advisable. Pricing is at or near annual peaks. Photography conditions are outstanding with clear skies, lush landscapes, and extraordinary predator-prey action. January suits wildlife photographers, first-time safari-goers seeking guaranteed spectacular viewing, and families with winter school break constraints.

Pick for February

February continues January’s favourable conditions while offering decreased crowds and the possibility of witnessing early migration movements as wildebeest begin their northward journey.

Weather and Wildlife

Kenya’s driest month features excellent weather with 25-30°C daytime temperatures. Vegetation continues drying, improving wildlife visibility as animals concentrate near permanent water sources. The calving season peaks in the southern Serengeti with activity extending into the southern Mara. Predator viewing intensifies as dry conditions concentrate prey, creating outstanding opportunities for observing lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Value and Visitor Numbers

Tourist numbers decrease from January’s holiday peak, offering improved availability and shoulder season pricing. This combination of excellent conditions and better value makes February ideal for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers seeking diverse subjects without peak season crowds.

Calving continues through early to mid-February, typically peaking in the first two weeks. Hundreds of thousands of young calves accompany herds, still vulnerable to predation. Viewing opportunities remain excellent throughout February, with herds concentrated and accessible in the southern Serengeti.

All parks maintain outstanding conditions. February represents prime time across Tanzania’s diverse park system, including Tarangire’s excellent elephant viewing. Tourist traffic and costs remain at high season levels. Photography conditions are exceptional, with February often providing the year’s best light quality. February appeals to wildlife photographers seeking peak calving season, serious wildlife enthusiasts, and travelers for whom budget is secondary to experience quality.

Pick for March

March represents Tanzania and Kenya’s primary transition month as long rains approach, offering a calculated risk for adventurous travellers seeking lower costs and potentially excellent dry conditions.

Weather Unpredictability

Early March typically maintains dry conditions with sunny days, while mid to late March brings the long rains with afternoon thunderstorms and increasing cloud cover. Once the rains begin, landscapes transform rapidly as grasslands green and flowers bloom within days.

Wildlife and Value

Before the rains commence, wildlife remains concentrated and visible. Resident predator viewing stays excellent until rainfall disperses prey animals. Tourist numbers decline significantly after mid-month, particularly as travellers avoid approaching the rainy season. Pricing transitions to low season rates, offering 15-25% savings below peak season, especially in late March.

March represents a transitional month as the Great Migration begins moving northward and the long rains approach. Weather becomes increasingly unpredictable, with early March typically maintaining dry conditions but long rains usually beginning mid to late March. Temperatures remain warm (24-29°C) while humidity increases.

Herds begin dispersing from concentrated calving grounds, moving north following fresh grazing. March often features wildebeest rutting (mating) season, characterized by territorial bulls making distinctive calls and engaging in dominance displays. Viewing opportunities are good to excellent, though herds are more dispersed. Tourist numbers decline, particularly after mid-month, with pricing transitioning from high to shoulder season (10-20% below peak rates).

March suits flexible travelers comfortable with uncertainty, photographers interested in rutting behavior, and budget-conscious visitors finding transitioning prices.

Pick for April

April brings Tanzania and Kenya’s wettest conditions with sustained rainfall transforming landscapes into lush green paradises while challenging safari logistics.

Conditions and Considerations

Heavy rainfall exceeds 200-300mm in highland areas, with rain occurring on most days. Roads become challenging, particularly in parks with black cotton soil like Amboseli. Wildlife disperses across vast areas as abundant water becomes available everywhere, making concentrations difficult to find.

Advantages for Adventurers

Despite challenges, April offers dramatic cost savings of 30-50% below peak season, virtually empty parks, spectacular birdlife with migrants in breeding plumage, and the unique experience of witnessing nature’s green season transformation. Serious birders and extreme budget travellers find April particularly rewarding.

Heavy, sustained rainfall occurs frequently, often as intense afternoon thunderstorms. Roads become challenging in some areas, though main Serengeti and Ngorongoro routes remain passable. Many remote camps close during April.

Migration herds continue northward, typically reaching western Serengeti regions by mid to late April. Herds spread across vast areas following fresh grazing, making them harder to locate. General dispersal occurs as abundant water and fresh grazing disperse wildlife across all parks. However, many antelope species birth during green season, and migratory birds are present in maximum numbers with spectacular breeding plumage.

April sees Tanzania’s lowest tourist numbers with dramatically reduced rates (30-50% below peak season). April suits extreme budget travelers, serious birders, and adventurous souls genuinely embracing challenges who prioritize solitude over optimal viewing.

Pick for May

May continues the long rainy season though with gradually improving conditions as the month progresses. Early May maintains April’s rainy character, but mid to late May sees decreasing rainfall frequency. Roads improve through May as drying occurs. By late May, most areas are accessible again.

Improving Conditions

Early May maintains April’s rainy character, but mid to late May sees decreasing rainfall frequency and intensity. Roads improve through the month as drying occurs. Wildlife begins moving toward permanent water sources, improving viewing, though not yet reaching dry season concentrations.

Migration Movement

Wildebeest and zebra herds continue moving north through the Serengeti toward Kenya. While the main herds typically don’t reach Mara until June-July, this northward movement signals the beginning of the annual migration cycle. Excellent birding continues with migratory species present against peak landscape lushness.

Migration herds continue moving north following new grass in western Serengeti, particularly the Grumeti region. Herds remain dispersed but are beginning to coalesce somewhat. As temporary water sources dry, wildlife starts moving toward permanent water, improving viewing. Migratory birds are still present with continued breeding activity.

May remains quiet with minimal tourist traffic. Pricing remains low season (25-40% below peak), particularly early May. May appeals to budget-conscious travelers, flexible adventurers, birders, and photographers interested in lush landscapes and dramatic storm light.

Pick for June

June marks the beginning of Tanzania and Kenya’s dry season, featuring the Migration’s dramatic Grumeti River crossings in Tanzania and the crucial arrival of Great Migration herds in the Maasai Mara, creating extraordinary wildlife viewing opportunities.

Perfect Safari Conditions

Predominantly dry weather brings comfortable 24-28°C days and cool 12-17°C nights. Vegetation remains relatively lush from recent rains while visibility improves as grasses dry—the ideal combination of green landscapes with excellent wildlife spotting. Roads are good and improving throughout June.

Great Migration Arrival

Over one million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras cross from Tanzania into the Maasai Mara during June, though exact timing varies yearly. Late June sometimes features the season’s first Mara River crossings—dramatic spectacles ranking among nature’s most incredible events. Predator activity increases dramatically with massive prey herds attracting lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyena clans.

Planning Requirements

Tourist numbers increase substantially, particularly in late months. Book Mara lodges 2-3 months ahead as pricing transitions from low season to high season rates.

Herds continue moving north, encountering the Grumeti River lined with large Nile crocodiles. June typically sees the first major Grumeti crossings, offering spectacular drama with fewer viewing vehicles than later Mara River crossings. Viewing opportunities are good to excellent, particularly late June. Dry season onset improves viewing across Tanzania’s entire park system, with wildlife concentrations increasing.

June sees increasing tourist numbers, though not yet peak season levels. Booking 2-3 months ahead is advisable. Pricing transitions from shoulder to high season. Photography conditions are excellent with clear skies and dramatic crossing subjects. June suits wildlife enthusiasts wanting river crossings without peak season crowds and photographers prioritising shooting angles and light.

Pick for August

August extends July’s exceptional conditions, maintaining peak Migration viewing with continued Mara River crossings. Weather mirrors July’s excellence with clear skies dominating. Dry conditions are extreme—vegetation is brown, dust is significant, and water sources are limited, maximizing wildlife concentrations.

Weather Perfection

Consistently excellent conditions feature minimal rainfall, clear skies, and comfortable temperatures with sunny 22-26°C days and cool 10-15°C nights. July represents Kenya’s coolest month, making midday game drives comfortable. Clear skies and excellent light create superb photography opportunities.

Migration Spectacle

Peak Migration presence brings one to two million wildebeest plus hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles carpeting the Mara plains. Mara River crossings become regular occurrences with herds crossing and re-crossing, creating multiple viewing opportunities. The drama of thousands of animals plunging into crocodile-infested waters creates unforgettable wildlife experiences.

Predator Paradise

Prey abundance attracts enormous predator numbers. Lions are everywhere, leopards hunt actively, cheetahs pursue prey openly on plains, and hyena clans follow migrating herds. Predator-prey interactions occur constantly, providing exceptional viewing and photography opportunities.

Crowds and Investment

Peak tourist numbers mean vehicle congestion at popular crossing points and lodges. Booking 4-6 months ahead is essential for premier Mara properties. Pricing reaches annual maximums—40-60% above low season rates. Despite costs and crowds, the spectacular wildlife experiences justify the investment for most travellers.

Mara River crossings continue throughout August, often with peak frequency. Herds move back and forth across the river, creating multiple crossing opportunities. This period offers the most reliable crossing viewing of the year. All parks feature maximum wildlife concentrations around limited water sources, with Tarangire representing peak month for elephant viewing.

August maintains or slightly exceeds July’s peak tourist numbers. Booking 4-6 months ahead remains essential with pricing at peak season maximums. August appeals to the same traveler profile as July: those seeking guaranteed spectacular experiences and families with August holiday constraints.

Pick for September

August extends July’s exceptional conditions, maintaining peak Migration viewing with continued Mara River crossings. Weather mirrors July’s excellence with clear skies dominating. Dry conditions are extreme—vegetation is brown, dust is significant, and water sources are limited, maximizing wildlife concentrations.

Continued Excellence

Migration herds remain throughout September with continued river crossing activity, though some animals begin drifting toward Tanzania late month. The weather stays excellent with minimal rainfall and 24-29°C days. Wildlife concentrations remain impressive across all parks.

Photography Paradise

September provides ideal photography conditions—August’s incredible subjects with fewer vehicles competing for shooting angles. Excellent light quality, dramatic wildlife interactions, and decreased tourist pressure create optimal circumstances for capturing stunning images.

Value Improvement

Tourist numbers decrease noticeably after mid-September as European summer holidays end. Pricing begins transitioning from peak to shoulder season with 10-20% decreases below peak rates, particularly late September. Book 2-3 months ahead for the best lodge selection.

Wildlife concentrations peak as water sources reach minimum levels.

Mara River crossings continue early to mid-September, though frequency decreases from August peaks. By late September, herds begin the southward return journey, crossing back into Tanzania. This southward migration receives far less attention but offers excellent viewing with minimal crowds. All parks maintain maximum concentrations with excellent viewing.

September sees decreasing tourist numbers, particularly after mid-month. Booking 2-3 months ahead suffices. Pricing begins transitioning from peak to shoulder season (10-20% below peak rates). Photography conditions are excellent with peak subjects and manageable vehicle numbers. September suits experienced safari enthusiasts seeking optimal conditions without peak crowds, wildlife photographers, and value-conscious travelers.

Pick for October

October represents a transition month with variable conditions. Early October typically maintains dry conditions with sunny, warm days (25-30°C). However, short rains usually begin mid to late October, bringing afternoon thunderstorms. When rains begin, landscapes transform rapidly from brown to green

October varies significantly depending on timing. Early October maintains dry season benefits while late October sees short rains. Migration herds depart for Tanzania’s Serengeti, though exact timing varies yearly. Tourist numbers drop significantly, with shoulder season pricing offering 15-30% savings below peak rates.

Herds return to Tanzania, moving south following fresh grazing produced by short rains. Eastern Serengeti often provides good October viewing as herds pass through. Fewer tourists mean more intimate experiences. All parks offer outstanding resident wildlife viewing, particularly early month before rains disperse animals.

October sees moderate to light tourist numbers. Pricing clearly enters shoulder season (15-30% below peak). October suits flexible travelers comfortable with uncertainty, budget-conscious visitors, and those interested in southward Migration movements.

Pick for November

November falls within Kenya and Tanzania’s short rainy season, bringing moderate rainfall typically as afternoon thunderstorms. Expect rain on roughly half of days. Temperatures are warm (25-30°C) with high humidity. Roads cope reasonably well with most parks remaining fully accessible.

Regular rainfall occurs on roughly half of the days, typically as afternoon thunderstorms less intense than April’s long rains. Wildlife disperses across broader areas, though most parks remain fully accessible. Low tourist numbers, minimal crowds, and 25-40% cost savings below peak season attract budget-conscious and adventurous travellers.

Herds continue southward, dispersing across vast areas as water becomes abundant and fresh grazing widespread. Finding them requires skilled guides and patience. Wildlife dispersal occurs across all parks as abundant water breaks up concentrations. However, migratory birds arrive for northern winter with spectacular breeding plumage, and some species birth during short rains.

November sees low tourist numbers with pricing at low season (25-40% below peak). November suits budget-conscious travelers, serious birders, adventurous souls comfortable with rain, and those prioritizing solitude and savings over optimal viewing conditions.

Pick for December

December combines variable weather—with short rains ending mid-month—with holiday tourist influx. Early December typically maintains November’s rainy character, but mid to late December sees rains tapering and dry conditions returning. Temperatures are warm (25-30°C) with humidity decreasing as December progresses.

Early December maintains rainy conditions, but mid to late December sees rains tapering with dry conditions returning. Wildlife viewing improves throughout December. Christmas week through New Year brings a substantial tourist influx with holiday travellers, requiring 6+ months advance booking for top lodges charging holiday premiums.

Herds complete their southward journey, arriving at southern Serengeti calving grounds by late December. Massive concentrations reform in preparation for January-February calving season. All parks offer good to excellent viewing, improving significantly as conditions dry. Late December provides excellent positioning for witnessing the calving season’s beginning.

December experiences split dynamics: early month sees low tourist numbers with low season pricing, while late December (Christmas-New Year) sees significant holiday traffic with high season rates returning. December suits holiday travelers with timing constraints, those seeking improved conditions after short rains, and anyone positioning for calving season viewing.
