For how long would you like to come on safari? When would you like to come on safari? There is no bad time to travel in Kenya but here are some details about our calendar: The long rains in Kenya typically fall in April and May and the short rains usually arrive in November. It is green during and after these periods and it slowly dries out as the months approach the next rains. You can still go to many places at this time of year but some lodges are closed during this period. In Laikipia though our trips remain open and it can be a very beautiful time . The wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara is usually present from late June to early September. Because of this and because of holidays July, August and the Christmas period is considered high season and rates at lodges are more expensive than at other times. What is your preferred mode for Transfers Game-drives are for Game-drive vehicles but people can save some money using a smaller vehicle for transfers. Scheduled Flights are cheaper than Charters unless your party gets over a certain threshold depending on distance traveled. Transfer by helicopter are the most expensive but possibly also, the most thrilling.
