Due to its location close to the  equator, Kenya has a tropical climate with wet and dry seasons. The  weather, however, differs from region to region. The coastal areas are hot and humid, while inland and higher up the temperatures tend to be more agreeable. Temperatures  during the day vary between 22°C (72°F) and 31°C (88°F), depending on the period and  region. At night temperatures drop a little in coastal regions to 18°C (64°F) in cooler seasons and a lot in some inland areas  and up to 10°C (50°F) in highlands. 


Kenya  has wet and dry seasons, with the dry seasons being much longer than  the wet seasons. Kenya’s climate knows two wet seasons: the long and the  short one. There are also two dry seasons; a cooler and warmer one.
 

Kenya’s short wet season is in November, with usually only occasional showers. The long wet season is in April and May.  These months usually have shorter and longer showers, but not every day  and only rarely does it rain a full day. Nights are usually wetter than  days.
 

The cooler dry  season starts in June, stays cool until September and then starts to  heat up again until the end of October when the rainy season starts. The  warmer one runs from December to March, with March heating up again for  the rainy season.


The quality of your cell phone service will depend mainly upon the following factors:

  1. The type of cell phone and the type of cell phone plan you have. Newer phones generally have better antennas and, hence better signals. Also make sure to check with your provider to determine the cost and amount of your voice and data usage as your current plan may limit or restrict your coverage while in Kenya.
  2. The area you are in. Just as in your hometown, service is better in urban areas and just as in your hometown, there are also dead-spots here and there. However, overall cell phone service is pretty good in Kenya and you will even get a signal in some of the more remote and rural areas.
  3. Whether your cell phone provider uses GSM or CDMA (CDMA usages is mostly limited to the U.S. while most other countries use GSM) . Since Kenya uses GSM and not CDMA, GSM is generally cheaper and less restricted than CDMA.


We recommend that you contact your cell phone provider for more information. 


Anytime!


One of the reasons Kenya is such a popular country for safari holidays is the fact that the climate allows for great  travel all year round. Sure, we have two wet and dry seasons here as well as cooler and warmer periods. But in general, all seasons have their advantages.


Do you prefer to avoid busy days and keep your  budget low? If so, the wet season is the best time to visit. You might  encounter some showers, but also cooler weather, lots of green  (everything bursts to life!) and definitely fewer travelers.


Do  you want to maximize your chances of seeing big herds of wildlife? Then  the dry season is ideal, with September and October as peak months.  Animals gather around rivers and waterholes during dry seasons, which is  why they are easier to spot. September and October are the months for  the great migration in the Masai Mara National Reserve, which guarantees the sighting of thousands of animals.


Absolutely. Your Destination Expert will talk you through your visa  options prior to travel and will provide the supporting documents you’ll  need to present at the airport. If necessary, we can also connect you  with a trusted third-party visa service to help you overcome more  challenging or time-consuming entry restrictions.


The CDC uses Travel Health Notices (THNs) to inform travelers about  global health risks during outbreaks, special events or gatherings, and  natural disasters, and to provide advice about protective actions travelers can take to prevent infection or adverse health effects. As of February 2025, there were no Level 4 or Level 3 notices in Kenya. Please visit the CDC website for the latest information. The THNs are categorized by Level as indicated below:


Level 4 – Avoid All Travel
Avoid travel to this destination unless  traveling for humanitarian aid or emergency response; there is an  extreme health risk for travelers and no available precautions.

 

Level 3 – Reconsider Nonessential Travel
Reconsider nonessential travel to this  destination. The outbreak or event poses risk to travelers because  limited precautions are available.

 

Level 2 – Practice Enhanced Precautions
Practice enhanced precautions for this  destination. The Travel Health Notice describes additional precautions  or defines a specific population at risk.

 

Level 1 – Practice Usual Precautions
Practice usual precautions for this destination, as described in the Travel Health Notice and/or on the destination page.

 


Traveler safety is our number one concern. Our guides are thoroughly trained with safety protocols that are designed to keep you safe! Like any Country, certain places are less safe than others. The same is true in Kenya. At Explore Kenya, we carefully examine and select the most safe locations and packages to make your trip worry-free.  


That being said, most countries have government websites that give detailed, up to date travel advisory information which tells you whether it is safe or not to travel to a particular country. Please visit your country's official government website for the latest travel advisories for Kenya.  


Go on a Safari

One of the best experiences you can have while in Kenya is to go on a safari. There are many different safaris available to choose from, each offering something different and unique. You can explore the open plains of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, or take an off-road adventure and get up close with some of the Big Five. The Big Five are the African lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, African leopard, and rhinoceros. On a safari, you may also spot some of the other wildlife found in Kenya such as zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, and hippos. With the help of an experienced guide, you can spot these animals in their natural habitat and even get close enough to take pictures. A safari is an experience not to be missed while in Kenya!


See the Flamingos

The flamingos of Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya are a sight to behold. The beautiful pink birds can be seen wading in the shallow waters, preening their feathers and nesting among the reeds. The lake is home to more than a million of these majestic creatures, making it one of the largest congregations of them in the world. 


Visit Lake Nakuru, National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park is one of the most spectacular sights in Kenya. Located in the Great Rift Valley, it is home to a variety of wildlife, including over 400 species of birds, large herds of buffalo and rhinoceros, and some of the most stunning landscapes in Africa. The park is especially known for its incredible concentration of flamingos, which flock to the lake to feed on the blue-green algae. The sight of thousands of bright pink birds flying around the lake is a sight to behold. The lake itself is also home to many other animals, including waterbuck, Rothschild giraffes, zebras, warthogs, and several antelope species.


Climbing Mount Kenya

Mount Kenya has an adventurous challenge for amateurs. The mountain is second highest in Africa standing at 5,199 meters above sea level. It opens up an opportunity to trekkers and climbers. There are several routes to the summit of the mountain-Sirimon, Chogoria, and Naro Moru-all of which offer different marvellous views of glaciers, deep valleys, and wildlife. Climbing to the summit can be arduous but sweetened by the satisfaction of reaching the top and the panoramic views at the top. This is an adventure that no seasoned mountaineer or enthusiastic hiker would want to miss.


White-Water Rafting on Tana River

The Tana River is the longest river in Kenya and offers thrilling white-water rafting. For adventure seekers wishing to challenge themselves across rapid grades ranging from 3 to 5 then in this place one can test the very best skills. Rafting in Tana River takes you through beautiful gorges, waterfalls, and thick vegetations for viewing a totally different side of the beautiful nature of Kenya. With qualified guides and a safe surrounding, this activity is open for both beginners and experienced rafters. It is through dashing, foaming waters that one will experience a thrill incomparable, as such, having you yearning for more.


Scuba Diving & Snorkeling

Hot Air Balloon Safaris

Camel Safaris
Experience a traditional mode of transport by embarking on a camel safari through the arid landscapes. This unique adventure allows you to connect with Kenya’s nomadic heritage.  


A good travel insurance plan provides peace of mind by covering medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and other unforeseen events. It’s essential to have a reliable safety net, especially in remote areas where access to medical facilities and other services can be limited. Comprehensive travel insurance lets you focus on the thrill of your safari/trip, knowing that you’re protected against the unexpected.


In addition to trip cancellation and interruption,  travel insurance may also help cover emergency medical expenses and emergency  medical transportation, to the nearest adequate medical facility when  ordered by a doctor. Reimbursement for additional accommodations, meals  and local transportation expenses incurred due to travel delays. Reimbursement for the purchase of essential items if baggage is delayed;  and coverage against lost, stolen or damaged baggage.


Most merchants accept all major debit and credit cards. However, Apple pay and Google Wallet and Samsung Pay are not widely used by many merchants in Kenya. Accordingly, it is best to come prepared to use any major debit or credit card. ATM's are also plentiful and they also accept major debit and credit cards so you will also have the option to use the ATM's and pay in cash (Kenyan currency). It is recommended to convert your local currency to Kenyan currency (KSH) before or upon arriving in Kenya.


Please be advised that many financial institutions charge an additional fee for international transactions. Please check with your financial institutions for more information.


All cancellations made prior to the start of your trip are fully refundable. Cancellations made after your trip starts are eligible for either a 25%, 50% or 75% refund depending upon the circumstances. Please contact our office for more info.
